Acclaimed singer-songwriter and multiple JUNO Award nominee Shawnee Kish is visiting Midhurst, MacTier and Parry Sound on Nov. 30 as she tours Canada and the U.S. with the CP Holiday Train.
Kish returned on Oct. 24 with the release of “Brother”, an emotional ballad exploring the raw emotions that come with making the difficult decision to step away from someone who isn’t good for you, no matter the love that remains. Through Kish’s quintessential heartfelt lyricism, “Brother” beautifully captures the struggle and complexity of such moments, offering a gentle reminder that prioritizing mental and emotional health is a vital act of self-love, even if it means navigating the bittersweet nature of wishing the best for those we know we must also leave behind.
“With ‘Brother,’ I wanted to create a space for reflection and understanding in the midst of heartache. This song is a tribute to the complex emotions we face when we have to let someone go, and the strength it takes to prioritize our own well-being,” shares Kish. “I hope listeners find solace in the words of goodbye, knowing that love is messy and complicated and you can still wish someone well on their journey apart from you because that’s what love really means to me.”
Kish has had a transformative year, embracing her new role as a first-time mom, being named one of TikTok’s 2024 Indigenous Visionary Voices, and channeling these experiences into her music. She has been busy writing and recording new material, developing a body of work that reflects her most raw and vulnerable creations yet.
Earlier this year, Kish released the poignant tribute “Dear Dad,” followed by “Reclaim,” a powerful narrative of transformation where she turns pain into pride and reclaims her story with resolute courage. Now, with “I’m Alive” marking a defining moment in her evolution, and today’s release of “Brother”, she continues to push creative boundaries while fighting for representation and respect.
Kish will join the CP Holiday Train as it makes stops across Canada and the U.S. from Nov. 27 to Dec. 8, bringing her powerful performances to audiences far and wide.
