Everett LaRoi is an Edmonton-based singer-songwriter whose career spans decades with beloved Canadian bands including Goldtop, Idyl Tea, and Manraygun. With Morning Stars Mournings Hush—his first solo release in 25 years—LaRoi re-emerges as a distinctive voice in the Canadian singer-songwriter landscape. The 10-song album, described by CKUA’s Amy van Keeken as “a beautiful new record,” blends folk rock, alt-country, and post-rock storytelling into a sound that feels both timeless and familiar. His signature style—shimmering tremolo guitar, melodic vocals, and lyrics rich with wordplay and poetic ambiguity—has drawn comparisons to Daniel Lanois, Neil Young, and Joe Henry. Themes of loss, friendship, and resilience run through the record, reflecting the wisdom of a veteran songwriter unafraid to explore life’s complexities. Featuring contributions from Mike Silverman (Deep Dark Woods), Tom Murray (Old Reliable), and Alice Kos (Goldtop), the album is available worldwide on streaming platforms and as a limited-edition CD.
