Catherine MacLellan Springs Forth Ethereal Vocals and Poetic Lyrics on her New CD, Water in the Ground, Releasing June 2nd in The U.S. from True North Records CD Release to Kick Off with May 27 Performance at The Living Room in New York City for XM/Sirius “The Loft” TORONTO, ON – True North Records announces a June 2nd U.S. release date for Water in the Ground, the new CD from Catherine MacLellan, who has become one of the most celebrated new singer/songwriters in Canada. The specially-packaged album also includes a bonus CD of Catherine’s debut album, Dark Dream Midnight, previously unavailable except by mail order. To kick-off the release of the new CD, Catherine MacLellan will embark on a radio promotion tour around the U.S., which will also include a special performance at The Living Room in New York City on May 27 at 7:00 PM. The Living Room is one of the country’s premiere listening rooms, and Catherine’s performance on May 27 will be taped for an upcoming episode on XM/Sirius Satellite Radio’s “The Loft” channel. Water in the Ground is already off to a fast start in its first week at Triple A Non-Commercial radio stations, grabbing 11 adds out-of-the-box. Catherine MacLellan derives her talent as a singer/songwriter from a natural source: her father, Gene MacLellan, is a Canadian music legend and author of such songs as “Snowbird,” a huge international hit for Anne Murray; and “Put Your Hand in the Hand,” which has been recorded by Elvis Presley, Joan Baez, Donny Hathaway and Loretta Lynn, among many others. MacLellan is already a huge critical favorite not only in her native country, but around the world as well. She was voted “Critics’ Favorite New Discovery” by Canada’s Penguin Eggs Magazine in 2008. Her last album, Church Bell Blues, hit #1 on the iTunes Canada Roots Chart and such publications as Q, The Boston Globe and Austin Chronicle sang her praises. UK’s Maverick magazine perhaps summed it up best: “It is Catherine’s voice that strikes you first. Pure and haunting, it caresses softly, insinuating itself into your heart and just won’t let go.” She’s toured with Bruce Cockburn in the U.S. Steve Forbert in the UK, and showcased in Paris, Cannes, Berlin, New York, London and Memphis. Water in the Ground features a lighter, more cheerful mood than some of her previous albums, with songs at once both personal and universal in their scope and appeal. Special guests on the new CD include some of the most prominent roots musicians in Canada, such as Treassa Levasseur, Justin Rutledge and David Baxter.
