Kathleen Edwards Live at Massey Hall

Just Announced category interest

Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Kathleen Edwards will premiere a special concert film, “Live At Massey Hall,” next Thursday, November 19 at 4:00pm ET/3:00pm CT. Available via www.liveatmasseyhall.com, the film is free to view with donations encouraged to help support live music presenters, such as NIVA’s Save Our Stages and the Massey Hall Revitalization

Filmed on May 4, 2018, just months before Toronto’s Massey Hall temporarily closed its iconic red doors for the Massey Hall Revitalization, the film finds Edwards making a triumphant return to the stage after a lengthy hiatus, performing fan-favorites as well as songs that would go on to become her acclaimed new album, Total Freedom—released this past August on Dualtone (an Entertainment One Company, stream/purchase here). 

Of the film, Edwards reflects, “There’s something about the sense of great artistic moments in music that happened within the walls of Massey Hall and I was so very fortunate to play the iconic venue back in 2018. I haven’t really been able to play shows this year, so I guess the next best thing is re-visiting one of my favourite shows. Also, Happy Birthday, Neil Young!”

Co-produced by Edwards, longtime collaborator and guitarist Jim Bryson and Grammy Award-winning producer and musician Ian Fitchuk, Total Freedom marks a major return for Edwards, who took an extended step away from music in 2014 to open her successful small business, a coffee shop, bar and café aptly named Quitters, in her hometown of Stittsville, Ottawa. In celebration of the new album, Edwards was recently featured on “CBS This Morning” speaking with Anthony Mason and performing three songs as part of their “Saturday Sessions” series: “Options Open,“Hard On Everyone” and “Who Rescued Who.” 

Total Freedom is Edwards’ fifth-studio album since her 2003 debut and her first since 2012’s Voyageur. The album reached #39 on the United States’ Billboard 200 chart, #2 in Canada and received widespread critical acclaim—NPR Music praised, “Her songs feel as personal and lived-in as ever…Edwards has never seemed more confident in her own considerable gifts,” while Pitchfork declared, “Each song emphasizes change and risk, and Edwards never resorts to tired sentiments or platitudes about healing and hope” and Rolling Stone proclaimed, “an exquisite, widescreen beauty.” Now based in Ottawa, Ontario, Edwards is a five-time Juno Award nominee and winner of the SOCAN Songwriting Prize for Voyageur track, “A Soft Place to Land.” She has also had her music featured in several hit television shows including Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, Hart of Dixie, House and more.
