EMILY WEEDON HOPES TO “GET LUCKY” WITH DEBUT

For Immediate Release: March 1, 2007, Toronto, Ontario

The songs on Emily Weedon & Delta’s debut EP All Out In The Open are most often songs about loss and heartbreak, however, whichever way you cut it, Weedon jokes that the songs are almost all about not gettin' laid. The five song debut EP will be released with a CD release party in Toronto at the Cameron House on April 11, 2007.

Since forming her band Delta in 2005, Weedon has been writing hooky, unforgettable material at a brisk pace, turning out over 20 songs and overwhelmingly they are love songs of the unrequited variety. Weedon originally formed the band to answer the question, what would happen if you crossed Keane with The Band? But the sound that developed behind her high lonesome voice quickly galvanized into an alt-country roots rock sound that has widely been compared to Dolly Parton.

A labour of love and sheer tenacity, the entirely self produced work All Out In The Open features five songs recorded at the Pocket Studios with producer Stuart Cameron (Shaye, Ashley MacIsaac, Crash Test Dummies). The title track was a co-write between Weedon and Gord Light has been featured on the internationally syndicated TV series Slings and Arrows.

Clark St, known as The song about not getting laid and a favourite at the band's Cameron House residency with its tongue in cheek lyrics and shoot from the hip melody, started life around 4am at a Pop Montreal party at the house of Tricky Woo and was included in the wildly popular reality TV series Diva On A Dime.

Stainless Steel has crisp spare piano riffs that craft a chilly portrait about a divorcé's emotional bankruptcy. Rose Island Road is an uplifting guitar driven rootsy piece dedicated to Weedon's rural roots in Coe Hill, Ontario, where she grew up among hippies, draft dodgers and gospel church attendees. On His Sleeve is a Tom Waits inspired, heartbreaking piano waltz that is a composite portrait of "the men in my life who drink too much, who I love,” says Weedon.

CD Release Party:

April 11, 2007 at the bands "homestead" The Cameron House, Front Room, 408 Queen St. West.
