I've been on an amazing adventure for the past couple of months. During March and April, I took part in a program called "Soloss," which was developed by Vancouver social agency InWithForward. The organization is prototyping the "Losstender" position in Edmonton in cooperation with REACH Edmonton. "Losstenders" are constellation of folks who open up spaces for moments of grief to also be moments for connection. Basically, we are artists who sat with and spoke to "Sharers" who told us their stories of life and loss. Thought of another way, a "Losstender" is kind of like the friendly bartender to whom people bare their souls. Three unique people chose to share their stories with me. In return, I created a song for each of them as a lasting artifact of our encounters and to help them on their healing journeys. I am excited for you to "meet" the three people I connected with through my forthcoming EP "Losstending," which I will be releasing on Bandcamp on May 7.
