<\/a>By Rick Garrick<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n THUNDER BAY \u2014 Red Rock Indian Band\u2019s Sara Kae held a pre-release party for her latest song, Do You Think of Me, on Sept. 12 at the Paramount Theatre in Thunder Bay.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was so fun and I think the best part was seeing all my friends play beforehand,\u201d Kae says. \u201cThey\u2019re so talented, and some people had been playing for the first time as a band and that was a really special moment.\u201d<\/p>\n The group of musicians included Cassidy Houston, Fae Alexander, Carly Martin, and Morningstar Derosier.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, it was just watching my friends shine and share their stories,\u201d Kae says.<\/p>\n Kae had earlier worked with Shayne Ehman, Zoe Gordon, and Wyeth McCormick to shoot parts of a music video for the song at Chapman\u2019s Gas Bar in Fort William First Nation.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been working on some side projects for release coming up, and we kind of have a little element of Chapman\u2019s Gas Bar that makes an appearance, so that was really fun to do,\u201d Kae says. \u201cAnd I had my friend Kai Davey-Bellin being one of the actors in the music video. I wanted to do something local, a place that I love, and I feel like I\u2019m always at Chapman\u2019s every other day getting gas, seeing the family over there. They\u2019re so lovely, so I like supporting that business.\u201d<\/p>\n Kae released Do You Think of Me on Sept. 19.<\/p>\n \u201cThis song was recorded when I was in Toronto,\u201d Kae says, noting that she did a month-long residency with CBC and SOCAN in July. \u201cThis song was a product of that residency.\u201d<\/p>\n Kae says her song is about a relationship that had gone sour.<\/p>\n \u201cMy music right now has been going really awesome,\u201d Kae says. \u201cI\u2019ve just been working on making a bunch of my social media\u00a0content and creating music that I feel passionate about, and having a lot more of a country vibe to it and keeping those pop elements. I feel like right now, I\u2019m really honed into my sound, and I feel like I\u2019m starting to collaborate with really cool people who are bringing that out even more.\u201d<\/p>\n Kae says she also met James Bryan McCollum from Prozz\u00e4k while she was doing the residency in Toronto and ended up writing a song with him that they performed at the Wake the Giant Music Festival on Sept. 6 in Thunder Bay.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was something fun that we did, a very cool moment,\u201d Kae says. \u201cIt was cool to be able to share that unreleased track that I did with James that we\u2019re hoping to work on in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n Kae says she worked with producer Hill Kourkoutis on the Do You Think of Me song.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s a Juno Award-winning producer and she worked on my track,\u201d Kae says. \u201cSo I\u2019m really honoured to have her as part of this project.\u201d<\/p>\n Kae says she is currently planning a move to Toronto.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just in the process of a big change in my life and I\u2019m just going to keep focusing on creating music that I feel good about and hopefully performing more,\u201d Kae says. \u201cI love Thunder Bay and it\u2019s a great community and it\u2019s helped me so much over the last four years here, but I\u2019m ready to kind of grow a bit more, so I\u2019m going back to the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
