Cory Tetford And Friends…June 2017.

As posts on my blog about Cory Tetford’s solo music and new album ‘In the Morning’ have attracted a couple of hundred hits I have decided to post about his shows with some of friends and fellow musicians in June. These shows include a launch of his new album in Halifax, a show for the Newfoundland Songwriters in the Round in Toronto and another show in Halifax at the end of June.

Last week Cory Tetford (from Alan Doyle And The Beautiful Gypsies) did a launch show for his new album “In the Morning” at a local hotel in Halifax with friend and fellow musician Chis LeDrew and fellow Beautiful Gypsies band mate Kendell Carson. The show was sold out.

Prior to the show Cory did some local publicity included newspapers and press. An article “Songwriter Tetford gets a fresh start with launch of new project In The Morning” by Stephen Cook published at localxpress.ca on the 6 June, 2017 interviewed Cory prior to the show. I have provided the link here...

He talks about his life in the music business, how his new album evolved and recording during time off from travelling with Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies. The album was produced by Alan Doyle and features his fellow Beautiful Gypsies band mates Kris MacFarlane, Shehab Illyas and Kendel Carson. 

Cory also did a couple of great videos of interviews on local television shows called Global New Brunswick on 5 June, 2017 and CTV Atlantic News on 13 June, 2017 and circulated them via his social media sites.

The second show was Newfoundland Songwriters in the Round in Toronto on 9 June, 2017 at Cameron House in Toronto. The group of songwriters that participated included Damhnait Doyle, Mallory Johnson, Barry Canning, Chris LeDrew and Cory Tetford. I found a set of nice photographs circulated from the Newfoundland Songwriters in the Round in Toronto posted by a fan on Facebook. I have provided a copy below.

While Cory did a couple of interviews about the album in the local press and on television in Halifax I found very few photographs or bootlegs from the shows in social media feeds (except from the usual source LH). If music fans took photographs and videos they were entirely for personal use and not shared on social media, at least in the musician’s social media feeds. It was great to see music fans go to a show and be right there in the moment with the music. I found a set of nice photographs circulated from the Newfoundland Songwriters in the Round in Toronto posted by a fan on Facebook. I have provided a copy below. 

There is a third show with Cory, and his friends and fellow musicians Paul Lamb, Barry Canning and Chis LeDrew at the Carleton Hotel on 28 June, 2017.

I have included two photographs from Cory's appearance on CTV Atlantic News and circulated by Cory on his official Twitter account. The photographs are from the official CTV Atlantic News Twitter feed. No copyright infringement intended.
