“Together on a Rock” is the fourth album from London, Ontario-based folk trio, The Pairs. Known for their three-part harmonies and heartfelt songwriting, the group has been steadily building a name for themselves across North America’s folk scene. Over the past seven years, they've released a full-length album and two EPs, exploring different production styles and collaborations. With this latest release, they return to their folk roots with a mostly acoustic, intimate sound that puts their vocals front and center.

Recorded live-off-the-floor, “Together on a Rock” aims to create connection — through honest lyrics and a warm, stripped-back atmosphere. In a time where it’s easy to feel disconnected, the songs on this album invite listeners to slow down, reflect, and find common ground. The album explores themes of personal responsibility, humility, and reconnection — not just with each other, but with the wisdom of the rest of the natural world as well. 

The album was recorded in Northfield, Connecticut with producer Tracy Walton at On Deck Sound Studio in September 2024, and will be released in October 2025.

Have blended some folk instruments with traditional strings here - this track contains patches of a Theorbo, Irish Bouzouki, Tagelharpa, Hurdy-Gurdy, and traditional string sections. While the atmosphere is mostly warm and peaceful, it occasionally drifts ever so slightly into darkness, as if veering of the safe path and back into unknown territory.

After You've Gone

After you've Gone (New Version)

the initial predominant instrument here is the Gayageum [Korean zither] which is responsible for the overall rhythmic base. there is also melody supplied by sampled voice and [honky-tonk] piano...there is some processing going on here too added for flavour.

Winter

(1:57 mins in for a good bit) Cinematic Jazz with soothing vocals and strings. The feeling of stopping, breathing, of taking stock and enjoying the little things. This song was written during lockdown and it bears its hallmarks; distance, frustration, but also gratitude and calm. Our singer Violet, has just given birth so it’s a special time for her.

“Shorthand Clock” is a letter to family… a song for the ones you pray you’ve done right by.
If you’ve ever held on tight to, or neglected to live in the moments that matter most, this track will echo your heartbeat. This is an anthemic Modern Country-Rock Ballad. The song is built on a "quiet-loud" dynamic with a heartfelt, gritty male vocal.  The song is a heartfelt message from a person facing their own mortality. It's a "song for you to keep," filled with love, a sense of time running out ("shorthand clock"), and a resolute vow of eternal love for family


Shorthand Clock (Country)

“Hope” is a minimalistic, emotional piano instrumental that blends calming New Age textures with intimate, acoustic warmth. Inspired by artists like Ludovico Einaudi, Jon Hopkins, and Yiruma.

Two Shiny Pennies is a Pacific NW country duo, singer Jason Fehlman and writer/arranger Phil Klahn, who released their self-titled debut album in July 2025.

Music is the language and soul of humanity.  You can see and hear music, if not…you feel it.  Listen, see, and feel the music.

My story is the same as probably so many.  I always wanted to write music and share it, to express it, to let others feel it.  Like so many before me - life took over.  Responsibility.  Sure, I could have gone after the things I loved, but I felt the responsibility, so off around the world I went.  That was truly amazing, too.  But always tapping on my shoulder was the desire to write.  So I kept at it, just never doing anything with it.

Jumping forward to the here and now - I’m doing it.  Writing, composing, arranging, and editing.  I hope you enjoy it, give me your thoughts, and share it with others. 

Thank you,
JCCutter

horanVi is led by writing duo Sam Horan and Violet. Their forthcoming album is an ambitious undertaking of eclectic compositions which refuses to toe the line between modern Jazz trends, Rock/ Alt Indie & Soul Pop.. Although Jazz grounds the music and often informs the harmonic approach, much of the album lends itself to the more progressive side of Pop. FFO Snowpoet & Erykah Badu…
