Known for his regular appearances on CBC’s Vinyl Cafe with Stuart McLean, Reid has also recorded and performed with Cowboy Junkies, Sarah Harmer and Mary Margaret O’Hara among others. A growing treasure trove of unique and well recorded covers have made for new fans across the globe, with daring interpretations of everything from Madonna to A-ha.
A classic introvert/extrovert combo, Reid now performs with his saucy wife and long-time song-writing partner Carolyn Victoria Mill (aka Carly Jamieson). Along with winning the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for their first co-write RAIL, this creative couple wrote their way into the Vancouver Folk Music Festival by winning 1st prize in the Pickin’ a Folk Star Contest. True entertainers, these masters of the burgeoning House Concert circuit thrive on creating intimacy, with tales and talents that simply must be experienced live. True entertainers, these masters of the burgeoning House Concert circuit thrive on creating intimacy, with tales and talents that simply must be experienced live.
Their catalog and repertoire have a wide ranging appeal with compelling originals plus unique interpretations. ‘Dear Leonard: The Cohen Collection’ is a luminous tribute to Leonard Cohen, turning the master into the muse with seven compelling covers plus the haunting title track – an original open letter to the man himself. This homage joins Reid’s much-loved ‘The Presley Sessions Revisited’, a tribute to the 50s era greats including Elvis, Orbison, The Platters and more. A perennial favourite, his unusual collection of winter-themed music ‘Songs For A Winter’s Night’, is a unique holiday record you will want to play long after the tree comes down. ‘Juniper’s Kitchen’ is this husband and wife’s first recording singing together, with all original alt-country duets that are a little Johnny and June meet Fleetwood Mac, and all about the songs.
Reid and CVM have just released a new all original album recorded in Schull, Co. Cork Ireland, with producer Kieran Kennedy (Maria Doyle Kennedy). Titled ‘Me Daza’ which is Cork slang for ‘most excellent’ or ‘just right’, – tho the direct translation is ‘I’m dying’ – but aren’t we all? There is nothing traditional about this record, or this dynamic duo. Mature themes range from loving a woman during and after ‘The Change’, to Ireland’s abortion referendum, to coping with mental illness and social media – call it a soundtrack for the second act.
Husband and wife together 17 years, Reid and Carolyn are unique in that they have a kind of Bernie Taupin / Elton John relationship on the songwriting front, however, with a woman often writing the lyrics to be sung by a gifted male vocalist. They wrote each song together, with the exception of ‘Don’t Go Down’ written by the late great Fergus O’Farrell (Interference) and Glen Hansard (Swell Season, The Frames). Fergus’ was a much admired Schull local whose vocals appear posthumously as he passed away (duo to complications of Muscular Distrophy) before he was able to properly release the track himself. All of this unbeknownst to Reid and Carolyn when they chose the tune from a selection of potential Irish covers sent by their producer.
It was Canadian/Irish legend Mary Margaret O’Hara who introduced artist and producer at a Toronto concert where she had joined Reid’s band for the night. Kieran and his wife (actor Maria Doyle Kennedy) also enjoy a musical partnership, and have created many beautiful albums together under her name. That night a friendship was struck and plans were set in motion that went on to inspire an epic trip to the Emerald Isle, and perhaps their most daring record to date. There is nothing traditional about this record, or the dynamic duo behind it.
Keep an ear open for singles they release on a regular basis…plus their upcoming project on Pigeons (!) and the causes of homelessness. You won’t want to miss what they do next!
