The Abramson Singers are many voices to be reckoned with. Writing beautifully crafted, catchy songs about topics that touch on the Canadian landscape, the group hits chords both physical and political.

Through their heartbreaking storytelling and always staying true to their folk roots, the band forms bright melodies and layers of musical depth. “Late Riser” is their newest release since 2010’s self-titled album “The Abramson Singers” and was produced by Colin Stewart  (Dan Mangan, Brasstronaut). The album is soaked with lush band arrangements, craving warm summer nights on the porch and a dog by your side. With as new album on the horizon Leah Abramson answers a few questions with Sad Mag.

Hello. My name is: Leah Abramson

I live in: An old house in Kensington-Cedar Cottage

When I’m not playing music I’m often: Gardening, teaching, or making sauerkraut. I’m only putting down the most wholesome activities here, just in case my mom reads this.

My favourite city to visit is: I can’t pick only one. Montreal, Prague and Paris. (Bagels, dumplings and croissants.)

Song I can’t get out of my head: “Give Out” by Sharon Van Etten

The last book I read was: “Thousand Mile Song: Whale Music in a Sea of Sound” by David Rothenberg

Blog I am addicted to: Cuteboyswithcats.net

Life or daily mantra: What would Jeff Goldblum do?

I never leave home without: Wallet, phone, keys (repeat after me).

If I weren’t a musician I would be: Running a family sauerkraut business. Or a radio producer?

If I was buying you a drink what would you be drinking: One of those fancy in-the-coconut drinks that the Waldorf used to serve, or else Jameson’s on the rocks.

New album “Late Riser” comes out: May 14, 2013. Our Vancouver Album Release Party is May 30 at Chapel Arts.
