Leanne Hoffman is a multi-disciplinary artist, songwriter, and producer living in Halifax, NS. She released her first solo, full-length album in May 2019 which was nominated for four Music Nova Scotia Awards, winning two, and a nomination for an East Coast Music Award. Her second album, The Text Collector, was co-produced with award-winning producer Erin Costelo and released in June 2023.The Text Collector is a multidisciplinary project that deconstructs poetry and pop music, rebuilding the pieces into a listening experience even richer than the sum of its parts. The songs use the swirling melodies and glitzed-up production of Top 40, and lyrics that address the interconnected relationship between desire and despair.The album was written from a poetry project where Hoffman wrote one poem a day for 365 days. All of those poems are now published in a book called “The Text Collector: An Anthology”. In addition to the written work and the songs, The Text Collector was accompanied by eight art pieces, handmade by Hoffman, and four music videos.By pressing light up against dark until it's evident they're just different parts of a multi-faceted whole, Hoffman dismantles illusions of duality on her sophomore record, clearing space to meet her feelings on their own terms instead of forcing them into a box.Check her out @hmleanne

It is a pleasure to welcome award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer Carleton Stone to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. The Nova Scotia, Canada native, recently dropped his latest solo and self-produced album, Papercut. Through the sax-blasted Americana with power-pop and 1980s synthesizers, Carleton blurs musical genres to explore several tumultuous years and asks two difficult questions: “What the hell have I done?” and “What if I had gone down some other path?”Papercut is one of Carleton's strongest and most forthcoming albums, thanks to innate songwriting skills. Listeners will follow him as he plumbs the depths of an emotional roller coaster ride. The album also features several talented musicians, including bassist Liam Jaeger, percussionist Howie Beck, cellist Kevin Fox, trumpeter Tom Moffett, saxophonist Julian Nalli, and vocalists Erin Costelo and Mel Stone.Before releasing Papercut, Carleton released his 2011 self-titled debut and 2014's Draws Blood.

PODCAST EXCLUSIVE - Erin Costelo - I feel like Erin Costelo and I are two peas in a pod. Total music nerds. I love chatting with Erin every time I get the chance and this conversation was no exception. She’s an amazing singer/songwriter with crazy chops for arranging and producing. She has a master’s degree in composition from North Texas (one of the most reputable music schools in the world) and, from what I can tell, is only getting started! We get to talk about creation in the time of the pandemic and her ongoing work as a producer (a role she’s exceptionally well suited for, in my opinion). Please check out her music at www.erincostelo.com
