Search - Lester Quitzau :: The Same Light

On The Same Light, Lester Quitzau stakes out a landscape where West Coast Folk meets sixties California rock, where tinges of Ben Harper blend with funky steeldrum worldbeat en route to jazz-inflected explorations of Bill Frisell territory, all tied together with a ribbon of deepest blues. The result is a vibrant musical statement of where the Juno Award-winner finds himself today in his tireless journey of creative and personal evolution - a journey that has flowed from blues-drenched bar bands to solo performance to partnerships with the award-winning roots trio Tri-Continental and the internationally acclaimed Mae Moore. Today Lester Quitzau's unique vocals and compositions find him at the forefront of the increasingly celebrated Canadian singer/songwriter tradition, while his improvisational skills as a guitarist see him welcomed on festival stages worldwide. But the common thread throughout The Same Light is this: his uncommon songwriting craftsmanship and the urgent clarity of his message: 'Our current path needs to change for this planet and for the better of all.'
