DISCOGRAPHY

MONTREAL (2018)

Pinwheel Music / P-VINE

2020 JUNO award nominated "MONTREAL" is Elizabeth Shepherd's sixth album. An innovative multi-media project celebrating her hometown, it is a collection of 11 songs inspired by interviews with strangers that together form an unofficial "people's history" of the city. Groove-driven, soulful, electro-infused jazz, this opus is accompanied by a series of films for each song, as well as a coffee table book, and is by far her most ambitious work to date.
