For nearly a decade, Christina Martin has been on an extensive musical journey. From recording her debut album "Pretty Things" (2002) in Austin, Texas, to opening for Wilco, it was clear that music was her path. It was not long after she returned home to Halifax, Nova Scotia she started playing the café/bar circuit and met esteemed musician Dale Murray (Cuff the Duke). On a whim they recorded "Two Hearts" (2008), an album that won her Pop Recording of the year at the 2009 East Coast Music Awards, as well as two Nova Scotia Music Awards for Female Artist of the Year and Pop Recording of the Year in 2008.

If Damien Rice and Dallas Green made music together, it would sound a lot like Halifax singer-songwriter Jon Bryant's debut album Two Coasts for Comfort. Released independently on October 28, 2009, the poignant 11 song record couldn’t have come any sooner for Bryant or his fans. After a fairytale journey of getting his music recorded in Calgary earlier this year, the finished product can only be described as a sigh of relief. That said, Two Coasts for Comfort can be described as a watercolour painting. There are many layers and brush strokes plastered over the canvas. Bryant has been playing and developing these songs for the past couple years in pubs and coffee houses across the country and the studio versions capitalize on these experiences.
