Rock/Review Shaela Miller - After The Masquerade

Shaela Miller’s years spent doing good country music work are safely etched into public consciousness. A turn at this point is by no means an undoing, but a welcome lead into new waters. Her rising profile is being amplified by a sonic reintroduction to one of Canada’s best voices and most sincere stage personalities. On the heels of TV placements like HBO’s True Blood, CBC’s Heartland, top-tier festival circuiting, supporting Matthew Good’s tour, and her upcoming Canadian headlining tour, Shaela sets aside (at least for now) her Loretta Lynn likeness in favor of the synth-laden corridors of a new sonic pathway.

Stuart Lawrence is originally from Oxfordshire, now on the south coast of England, not far from the beautiful and historic city of Portsmouth. He sometimes jokingly says that he was educated at Oxford, which is true but not quite what the expression is meant to convey. Music has always been important to him, not formally but as a means of escape with its cathartic qualities, and he's mostly self-taught. Actually, anything artistic makes him comfortable. Drawing, painting, and making.
