Over ██│ that time, Nolan played over 175 shows across North America and six ██│ European countries, most while traveling in his faithful 2003 Dodge ██│ Caravan. Along the way he also recorded the EP Rootsy House Sessions in ██│ Sweden, and signed deals with Mongrel Music Agency (Chuck Prophet, Lake ██│ Street Dive), as well as European label Rootsy Records (John Prine, ██│ Patti Griffin, Anderson East). His work also earned the Cobalt Prize ██│ for songwriting at the 2018 Maple Blues Awards, as well as Blues Artist ██│ Of The Year at the Edmonton Music Awards. Furthermore, Nolan was ██│ nominated for Roots Solo Artist Of The Year at Breakout West 2019, ██│ capping off a truly momentous comeback, which is still in its early ██│ stages. ██│ ██│ Drifters begins the next leg of that journey, made at Riverdale ██│ Recorders in Edmonton with engineer Scott Franchuk, which takes fresh ██│ material written in the midst of touring and combines them with songs ██│ that date back to NolanÆs late teens. However, the common thread among ██│ them is reflected in the albumÆs title: songs of longing, wanderlust ██│ and lost love. ██│ ██│ ôI wanted to keep it as stripped down as possible,ö Nolan says. ôWe ██│ recorded most of it to my Tascam 2-track reel-to-reel in an attempt to ██│ make something that resembled the sounds of my favorite records from ██│ the Æ70s with that real warm tape sound and vibe. I also have always ██│ wanted to collaborate with guitarist Kevin Breit [Norah Jones] and he ██│ graciously added some beautiful touches to this album.ö ██│ ██│ In the past, Nolan has stated that his definition of rock æn roll is an ██│ artist letting their heart bleed on and off stage, without any fear. ██│ ThereÆs probably no better way to describe Drifters, as on it Nolan ██│ once again demonstrates a willingness to venture deeply into the dark ██│ corners of his psyche. ItÆs a trait that puts him in good company with ██│ artists he has shared stages with over the past decade, from Wilco and ██│ Shakey Graves to The Strumbellas and Hawksley Workman. He may be ██│ categorized as a roots artist, but Nolan never wants that tag to define ██│ him completely. By drawing inspiration from vintage rock æn roll, ██│ blues, country and punk, he intends to keep pushing boundaries with ██│ every record he makes. ██│ ██│ ôIÆm feeling as if IÆm becoming much more myself, and being true to who ██│ I am,ö Nolan says. ôI have become a better listener and I have less ██│ fear of what people think. I am doing what I love, making music, and if ██│ I can continue to do that, then for me, thatÆs success.ö ██ │▓█ │▓█ │██│ ██│ URL: http://joenolan-rootsy.bandcamp.com ██│ ██│     ██│        │██░  █▄     │██▓░        ▓███▄▄▄  ▐██▓     ░▓██▓ │▓█▀███▄▄▄░   ─────▐─────▐───▐─░▌───▄─────▐██▄──── ░▓████▀░ │█▀█▓▄▀▄▀▓▌█▀▓▄░  ─▄───│─────▌────▌─▐──▀▓▀───▐░▓▓███── ▓█▐▀▀▄▀▄ ▄ ░ ▌▐▌▀▓▓▀ ▀░ ▀▓▀──▌────▐─────▐─────────▐▓─────▐──  ▀ ▐▌▐ ▀▄▀▄▒░▓ ────▐─────├────▄█▌───────▄▌─────▐───  ░▒▄▀▄▀ ░ ▀▄▀▄ ─▄▄▄▌───▄▓▌───▐██▌──-███▄▌─────▐░───  ▄▀▄▀ ░ ▄ ▐▌▐▌ ███▓ ▐███░   ░▀▀▀▀  ▄▄▓▄▌  ▄   ▐▌▐▌ ▄ ▀▓▀ ▓▀▄▀       ▀▀▓  2 0 2 0    ▓ ▐███▓  ▀▓▀  ▀▄▀▄ ▀▓▀    ▐  ▓▓      ░▄
