Norm Brunet Is part of that elite group of today's new artists! A gifted songwriter, an accomplished musician, and adding to his triple threat credentials are the always on target and distinctive vocals. "The first thing people usually comment on is the crustiness and raspiness of my voice. I guess that came from years of performing night after night in clubs"!Norm's Smokey-throated vocal work has a special attractiveness that keeps you listening for more. His voice rings with experience and texture. We are at ease with a vocalist who doesn't need to struggle to emote. As a songwriter, his versatility comes to the forefront with an intuitive ability to take every day situations and turn them into songs, not just lyrics on paper or grooves on discs but observances of life! "His tunes are exceptional! Substance? Plenty, Hooks? Norm could open his own tackle shop!" The Ottawa Citizen Raised in Canada's capital, Norm's artistic and musical ability was evident at an early age. He started playing guitar at the age of nine and over the years, the two became inseparable. With a diverse appreciation for music, Norm counts among his many influences that country tinged southern rock sound of the Eagles, Poco, Loggins and Messina, the Birds to name but a few. "I identified with that sound. It grabbed me the first time I heard the music, specially the guitars and vocals!" With years of roadwork here and abroad, Norm honed his skills both on stage and on paper, writing regularly and performing hundreds of shows a year. After a self-imposed hiatus, Norm went looking for the right producer and sound, the road led to Michel Le Francois. The opportunity to work with the famed Montreal producer/arranger was exactly what the search was all about and the ensuing months of creative collaboration resulted in a new sound and a new album that promises to grab your attention!
