Jaylene Johnson鈥檚 new record, Potter & Clay, comes after several years of challenges, including severe vocal impairment and, on a far more personal level, infertility.
Her voice was recovered through surgery in 2014 and the night before she left for a remote cabin to write exclusively for the project, she found out she was, miraculously, expecting.
The 12 original songs reflect these experiences and her deepened faith with warm, acoustically rich settings, and audiences in 91原创 have the opportunity to hear them live.
On Oct. 13, Johnson will play at Trinity Western University, and on Oct. 16 at North 91原创 Community Church.
鈥淛aylene Johnson is a wonderful singer and masterful songwriter whose tenacity evidences her commitment to an admirable long obedience in the same direction,鈥� said Steve Bell, executive producer and featured artist.
鈥淚'm thrilled to have been invited onto Jaylene's team alongside the legendary Murray Pulver to produce Potter & Clay.
鈥�(I have) every confidence in its artistic merit and that it will be greeted by an enthusiastic audience.鈥�
With the album's first single Find Us just released to radio, the full album will be released on Oct. 7 in stores, on Johnson鈥檚 website, on iTunes, on Bandcamp, on Amazon and on Signpost Music. A month-long tour will take Johnson throughout Western Canada, along with her husband and her almost six-month-old baby.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a year of two births, in a way,鈥� Johnson said.
鈥淚 feel extremely blessed.鈥�
