Sebastien Grainger nominated for ECHO songwriting Prize

We're ecstatic to learn that Sebastien Grainger, one of our very talented friends, has been nominated for the 2009 ECHO Songwriting Prize (which is presented by SOCAN). He was specifically nominated for his song 'Love Can Be So Mean' which appeared on his ST LP. You can hear the song here.

Grainger's one of Canada's best songwriters and is therefore deserving of this prize- so much so that we think you should vote for him. It only takes a few minutes to do right here. Please vote for Sebastien and go see him play when he passes through your town. Thanks, Ben Pobjoy

Sebastien Grainger

I've just started writing a new artist biography for Toronto based musician, Sebastien Grainger- it's an honor as much as it's a challenge! Seb's been working on a new album and was kind enough to share some new tracks with us (from an upcoming digital EP, I believe). The songs are amazing and it's a little daunting to write him a biography in light of this. Seb's one of Canada's best song writers and his new album will be one of the year's best- mark my words! Above are some photographs that I shot of Seb when he played in Montreal last winter. I'd stongly advise you to catch a Sebastien Grainger & The Mountains set and buy their music when it comes out!
