Artist: SenseAmelia Project, Album: Trip Down Little Road, Song: The Cause

The SenseAmelia Project was a band from the east coast of Canada.  Nova Scotia by way of Newfoundland perhaps.  They were a 7pc band consisting of singer songwriter, Amelia Curran as well as band members, Willy King, Caleb Hamilton, Jude Pelley, Johnathan Edwards, Chris Cookson and Kevan Corbett.  Trip Down Little Road was their one and only album which was released in 2001.  It did well regionally and garnered them some nominations, accolades and awards in the Maritimes.  They would also tour Eastern Canada in support of the album.  Amelia had released her first solo album the year before and was making a name for herself musically already.  Following this release, she has continued her solo career and has released three more albums to date.  Her latest release in 2009, won the Juno for Best Roots & Traditional Album Of The Year, beating out artists such as Bahamas (see blog 1/22/11) and Corb Lund.  She is currently signed to indie label, Six Shooter Records.  You can follow her at http://www.ameliacurran.com/.  You can hear the song, The Cause, on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohHdUROMoS0&feature=channel_video_title).  The debut album isn't widely accessible today.  You can purchase a copy from Fred's Records online store which is based in Newfoundland (http://www.freds.nf.ca/artists/SenseAmeliaProject.html).  Thanks for reading and enjoy!
