Leanne Hoffman shares her recently released "The Text Collector" - a rich collection of songs that merge poetry & pop.

NEW DATE - FRIDAY DECEMBER 1<a href="https://www.leannehoffman.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Leanne Hoffman</a> performs a tightrope walk between the sensual immediacy of pop music and poetry’s revelatory nuance on The Text Collector. Using the swirling melodies and glitzed-up production of Top 40, The Nova Scotia-based multidisciplinary artist builds tension between soundscapes primed for pure pleasure and lyrics that address the interconnected relationship between desire and despair. A year of sustained and intensive artistic devotion served as the catalyst for The Text Collector. In early 2019, Hoffman set out to write a poem every day for 365 days. When the year was up, Hoffman connected the project to her own singular take on pop. “Some of the songs say things I've been looking to say for a long time—I just couldn't really get there,” Hoffman says. “Having a poem that says it perfectly already means I didn't have to search for the words. Because when I was writing the poems, I wasn't thinking about songs. I was thinking, ‘How do I perfectly express this thing that I feel?’” Co-produced by award-winning producer Erin Costelo and Hoffman herself, The Text Collector deconstructs poetry and pop music, rebuilding the pieces into a listening experience even richer than the sum of its parts. NOTE: Patchwork (<a href="https://patchworkhouseconcerts.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://patchworkhouseconcerts.ca</a>) is a house concert series, i.e. we present concerts in our living room. For all shows the artist(s) take the door. We provide the stage, chairs and hopefully a room filled with eager listeners. We will provide a few snacks and soft drinks will be available; otherwise it is BYOB (feel free to bring what inspires you!). Bringing music-loving-friends and visiting family members is strongly encouraged.
