With his unique brand of radio-friendly and folky foot stompers, Sherman Downey has not only solidified himself as one of Newfoundland &amp; Labrador’s most treasured artists, but as a nationally revered and much sought after songwriter. His songs have won over listeners from his homeland to the mainland and beyond - all the while collecting a multitude of impressive accolades.Sherman’s debut &quot;Honey For Bees” received wide critical acclaim, earning him ‘MusicNL’s Male Artist of the Year’ and garnering international attention. His highly anticipated second release &quot;The Sun In Your Eyes&quot; was awarded ‘MusicNL&#x27;s Pop/Rock Recording of the Year&#x27;, &#x27;SOCAN Songwriter of the Year&#x27; distinction, and a prestigious ECMA nomination for ‘Group Recording of the Year’ alongside his band The Ambiguous Case. The album&#x27;s first single “Thick as Thieves” went on to win Sherman Downey the CBC Searchlight Prize as ‘Canada&#x27;s Best New Artist’, bolstering his profile as a touring act with a flourishing fan base.His latest release “New Beautiful” offers a sincere storied glimpse at wandering far from home while longing to return. Fans of his first two albums will be happy to hear the familiar character-driven songs that embrace his folk and country roots, but will no doubt notice a new musical exploration. Transitions from the beautiful to the gritty, from simple instrumentation to straight-up keys-pop, and lush with strings and horns that sweep in to accompany the listener through the album’s journey. When he sings of letting loose in the local dance hall, people-watching from the front porch, or playing with love in out-of-the-way gas stations, Sherman speaks to those of us who yearn for a change in their day to day lives. “New Beautiful” is exactly as its title suggests, and is available everywhere now.
