Vancouver-based singer-songwriter recording artist Norine Braun unveils her new album A Hero In The Wind, a project that captures lightning in a bottle \u2014 literally. The first five songs were recorded live-off-the-floor in just one hour each during Steve Dawson\u2019s Henhouse pop-up sessions, a bold and exhilarating experiment in musical spontaneity.\u00a0100% Cancon and no ai was used.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Known for her moving blend of roots rock, soul, blues, and folk, Braun found the one-hour format both challenging and liberating. \u201cThere\u2019s no time to overthink or polish,\u201d she says. \u201cYou just dive in, trust the song, and let the emotion lead. That immediacy brought out something raw and real in the performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

The title track, A Hero In The Wind was written to honour Braun\u2019s birth father, who passed away just after Christmas. \u201cIt came from the heart \u2014 a song born of the powerful, healing conversations we shared as we got to know each other later in life,\u201d she explains. The album continues Braun\u2019s exploration of love, loss, identity, and reconnection with her Me\u0301tis heritage.<\/p>\n

Featuring stellar musicians Steve Dawson (bandleader, guitars, pedal steel), Darryl Havers (keyboards), Geoff Hicks and Liam MacDonald (drums), Jeremy Holmes (bass), and Alice Fraser (harmony vocals), each take feels alive with emotion and chemistry. Engineered by Sheldon Zaharko at Vancouver\u2019s renowned Warehouse Studio, the result is a collection of songs that breathe with warmth and authenticity.<\/p>\n

To complete the journey, Braun added three bonus tracks produced by Adam Popowitz\u2014 \u201cBird With a Song to Sing (Remix),\u201d \u201cEye of the Hurricane,\u201d and \u201c2020 Reprise\u201d \u2014 rounding out the album with hope and reflection. All the songs words and music were written by Norine Braun.<\/p>\n

The album\u2019s striking cover art by Katarina Thorsen, drawn from a photo of Braun\u2019s birth father, brings her musical and personal journeys full circle. Thorsen also designed Braun\u2019s debut album cover Modern Anguish, with graphic design for the new album by Julian Bowers.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Hero In The Wind is about trusting the moment \u2014 in music and in life,\u201d Braun reflects. \u201cSometimes the best takes are the first ones, when you\u2019re fully in the flow.\u201d<\/p>\n
