Cam Penner’s Crybaby CD Release Tour

with special guest Jon Wood

Crybaby. Six years in the making. Heartache. Love. Loss and a letting go. Accompanied by a middle finger to the patriarchy, war hawks, and the greedy.

Crybaby. Cam Penner’s tenth album was written, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered over the past year by Cam Penner and his musical cohort of twenty years, Jon Wood. The distinctive flow, the masterful musical bonding and the overall atmosphere they create is both endearing and humbling.

Crybaby conjures up sound and colour, building spaces where ghosts dwell and shadows beckon. The symphony of sound and lyricism showcase the inevitable evolution of this duo. It is a gracious and humble tribute to humanity and an extended middle finger to those who steal from it.

There is an understated glory to their music: enthralling, haunting, comforting, arresting and altogether deliciously
spellbinding.   Celtic Connections Radio Scotland

Cam Penner and his emotional songs of lives lived and experiences endured and enjoyed deserve to be heard in
all their stoical splendour.   Irish Times
