Like nothing else you will hear, SHINE is Sussex's third album of genre-defying roots music. Featuring a unique blend of acoustic guitar, vibraphone and pedal steel and two-time CFMA Contemporary Singer of the Year Rob Lutes's soulful vocals on seven well-crafted originals and three gems from the early 20th century, SHINE does just that - illuminating a lush, fresh sonic landscape that leads close to the heart of American music. Lutes, a Kerrville New Folk winner and multiple CFMA and Maple Blues Songwriter of the Year nominee, brings his talents for humour and depth and his knack for seductive melodies and sophisticated lyrics to bear on a set of memorable songs that feature everything from backyard maples to ocean journeys to meat preferences to recount stories of family and love.
