"Outpourings" by Craig Bickhardt is the work of an artist who has lived enough and dreamed enough to know the weight of a simple lyric line and the power of a melody to summon angels and keep demons at bay. There's a wealth of experience in this music, tapping into years of writing and performing before crowds and in quiet solitary hours. But more than that, there's a send of un-restrained wonder that Craig has never lost since he first picked up his guitar. As he sings, he "lives for this" and he can't keep what it stirs in him to himself. Definance...acceptance...wanderlust...reconnection. These themes resonate within "Outpourings." The journey is one of eternal return, with a thousand detours and surprises. Let Craig show you what he's seen.

With driving rhythms, soaring vocals and waling blues harp, Easy comes bouncing in evoking memories of a perfect summer road trip. Using the Detroit River as her muse, singer-songwriter, Karen Morand explores the arc of life, overcoming, letting go and leaving worry behind. The road ahead is unknown, but open and hopeful with the stereo turned up loud.
“Songwriter Karen Morand casts power to stir the storm in your soul and part the dark clouds hovering over your heart. Karen drives the engine through songs that clang, grind and chug with bold defiance, shaken faith and cryptic warnings; breathing steam around embraces of the wounded and outcast.” Songstress and CJAM radio host Allison Brown
“Karen Morand – My God, you can sing!!” Les Palango, station manager (“The Hawk”)
"Windsor based singer-songwriter Karen Morand writes wonderful warm earthy songs that speak to your heart and leave you begging to spend time in her company. Equally comfortable as a solo artist with a guitar or playing with her wonderful band "Bosco", her performances are definitely not to be missed." Jan Hall, host of Folk Roots Radio

The First Bird To Sing…..I’ve been carrying this song around with me for 40 years, since the unexpected passing of my brother by his own hand during a tortured adolescence that carried him, in a flood of drugs and alcohol, to the shores of self-annihilation. That same flood carried me in the same direction for ten years thereafter, through three hospitalizations, a ruined career, a failed marriage and a damaged family, until, by the grace of God, in 1991, I washed up on a different shore, in a different land (metaphorically speaking), and set about putting my life in order. I have mostly succeeded, though certainly not without difficulty.

One more scroll, one more mouthful, one more guilty pleasure - there are things we do to deal with the hard parts of life. It becomes a problem when “just one more” isn't enough. Never Enough is a love song. It reaches into the heart of addictions and calls out the true soul of a person.

"Not Now" is a song about hope and the will to survive. Award-winning singer-songwriter Loretta Hagen wrote the song during COVID-19 after hearing the heartbreaking stories of people fighting for their lives, alone in hospitals.
"Each day I would hear news stations report the heartbreaking stories of people alone in hospitals around the world fighting for their lives without a loved one at their side. I can only imagine the terror for them. So many stories of loss: loss of life, loss of jobs, homes, loneliness. Normal life simply gone. But in all of that overwhelming despair and loss, there were also stories of survival." L.H.

"Grandfather Walks is an homage to my grandfather, a Frenchman aptly named Voltaire, as seen through the eyes of my mother, Francine, who passed away at the age of 99 about a year ago. Voltaire was revered by his daughter and sadly died when she was only 16 years old. He lived on in her heart and through her warm remembrances of him, which she imparted to me. The memories her father inspired fueled my loving and imaginative depiction of the old man, the patriarch, the bon vivant, world traveler, and loving father to three little girls. In this song, and in the mind's eye, the grandfather and the father become one, a powerful archetype of strength and goodness."

Teaming up again with Grammy-nominated hitmaker and producer Kip Winger and Afghn Whigs guitarist Jon Skibic, this effort also features the legendaary Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary) and his daughter Bethany Yarrow on two songs.
From social justice to history to humor, the common thread among Standard's songs is their resonance--emotional, musical, and melodic. Throughout the 11-song album, such indelible Standard originals as "Same River", "Witness Protection", "One Time In A Row" and "The Opium Wards" convey wisdom and curiosity, showcasing the artist's uncanny ability to pinpoint fundamental emotional truths.
