The Musical Connections podcast heads back to the ECMA Conference at the Delta Hotel in St John’s as I re-connect with Lorna Lovell! Lorna comes on the show to talk about what she’s been up to lately following the release of her two albums, “Bring The Fire” and “Song Seeds”! Plus we talk about growing up in a musical family, her Mi’kmaq roots, what she hoped to take away from ECMA week, and an update on some new music!Music Featured in Episode:New Found Releases: (May 24-30, 2025)Song: The OperatorArtist: The ArbitersAlbum: King Elias - EPComposers: Christopher Hibbs & Ian Lawless Song: Destined To BurnArtist: Bad IntentAlbum: Destined To BurnComposers: Bad Intent Song: Sing Me Back HomeArtist: Bud Davidge & Jackie SullivanAlbum: Sing Me Back HomeComposer: Merle Haggard Song: Hung Up On YouArtist: Christian HowseAlbum: Break ThroughComposers: Christian Howse, Clare Follett, Avalon Stanley, Mick Davis Song: !GTFO!Artist: DECAYAlbum: !GTFO!Composer: Dave Kelly Song: Damsel (Tied to the Rails)Artist: The DudsAlbum: Damsel (Tied to the Rails)Composers: The Duds Song: Here I Fall AgainArtist: Elizabeth SheppardAlbum: Here I Fall AgainComposer: Elizabeth Sheppard Song: Lonely HateArtist: Little FaunaAlbum: Little FaunaComposer: Krysten Burton Song: Happy NowArtist: Miss KrisAlbum: Magical MeComposers: Kristian Butt, David Shears Song: Dark HallucinationsArtist: Order of the Precious BloodAlbum: Dark HallucinationsComposers: Order of the Precious Blood Song: ChansonArtist: Port-Aux-Poutines & Ecole Des Grand VentsAlbum: ChansonComposers: Port-Aux-Poutines Song: To FailArtist: Rachel CousinsAlbum: To FailComposer: Rachel Cousins----------------------------------------Song: I Love YouArtist: Lorna LovellAlbum: Bring the FireComposer: Lorna Lovell New episodes of the Musical Connections Podcast come out every Tuesday with bonus episodes dropping when you least expect them.
