We have been getting loads of great music from Canada lately. The country is in full creative turmoil, covering a wide range of genres, from pop to experimental, passing through rock and Americana. The latter case is exactly where Geoff Gibbons belongs. Hailing from Vancouver, the talented songwriter and singer approaches his music with true authenticity and veiled nostalgia, crafting meaningful, poignant gems stacked against a loyal backdrop of Country and Americana stylings.
‘Morgantown’ is the perfect evidence of that. A slow-burn offering, the track sees steel and acoustic guitars taking center stage, gently guiding Gibbons’ raw and nuanced vocals with charisma and elegance. The way he delivers such engaging storytelling is certainly hypnotising, wrapping the listeners in gentle retro euphoria and heart-warming feelings.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Geoff explains: “The bittersweet tale of a love destined to be fleeting, set against the backdrop of a small town where dreams often outgrow the confines of familiarity”.
