Ariel Posen Announces New Artist Interview Series ‘Notes To Spare’ And European Tour

---

Canadian guitarist and songwriter, Ariel Posen, has announced a new artist interview series called “Notes To Spare”, with the first episode streaming now featuring a conversation with City and Colour.

With a list of stellar guests lined up, the series will highlight the experiences and growth of working musicians who transitioned to become principle artists of their own projects. With music and chat, these intimate interviews will open up discussion about the challenges associated with the music business and how it often exists in parallel to the creative nature of music itself.

Speaking about the new series, Posen says “I released my sophomore album ‘Headway’ on March 5th. This was my second experience writing, recording and releasing my own music. I brought a lot of lessons from my first album forward into the creation of Headway and although it was definitely a smoother process, I still found myself continuing to learn throughout this release. There’s just so much to know about the music industry that extends beyond the music itself.”

“Once the dust started to settle and I was able to take stock of everything that had occurred, I began wondering about the experiences of my peers and artists who have been releasing music for longer than me. In particular, I’ve found the transition from working purely as a guitar player to becoming an ‘artist’ to be a really interesting challenge.”

He continues “I began reaching out to friends and colleagues for first-hand opinions and advice on the subject and received some really enthusiastic responses as I think there really is a bigger story to tell here and this is something that could be helpful to a lot of musicians and artists on a similar path.”

The new series follows the release of Ariel’s second album, ‘Headway’, out now. Ariel forms his own space between genres, taking his influences from heartland rock & roll, electrified Americana, blue-eyed soul, R&B, Beatles-inspired pop, and in turn creating something that is uniquely his own.

Touring the new album, the Canadian has also confirmed he will be bringing ‘Headway’ to Europe in 2022. Taking in a total of 15 dates, the guitarist will bring his mesmeric live show to the UK for a score of dates, before venturing to the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Norway. Tickets on sale here.
