Charlotte Cornfield 's songs are going to pair well with this road trip season. Her lyrics are imaginative and vivid, and these tunes seem to create their own music video in your head when you listen, perfect for day dreaming on a long car ride. Some of her more Americana tracks are reminiscent of classic folk songwriters, like Dylan and Young. Her most recent album "Two Horses" has a balance of pensive folk ballads, and a few up-tempo folk-rock tracks. Being a gifted lyricist and a unique and memorable vocalist, are the two keys to success as a [...]

" Every time Cornfield straps on a six-string, you just know that Joni Mitchell is smiling somewhere," CBC Music said of Canadian folk it-girl, Charlotte Cornfield . Charlotte's debut album, Two Horses , was released late in 2011 to national praise. Music fans were quick to take to her style of soulful lyricism, raw emotion and unexpectedly strong pop sensibility. As a young folk songstress, her music seems to extend beyond her years. The tracks on Two Horses draw on inspiration from 70's rock and roll and earn her frequent comparisons to great singer-songwriters [...]

Posted on Jul 21st 2011 5: 00PM by Tabassum Siddiqui Northern Exposure is Spinner's MP3 column highlighting the best in new Canadian music. This week we feature some of the notable acts at Guelph, Ontario's annual Hillside Festival (July 22-24). Though barely out of her teens, Montreal (by way of Toronto) singer-songwriter Charlotte Cornfield has already managed more artistic output than many musicians double her age - not only is she garnering buzz for her pop-meets-folk solo work, but she's also hit the road as the drummer for Montreal indie-acoustic band Bent by Elephants, jazz [...]
Among my greatest regrets in life has always been my amazing ability to procrastinate on everything — including, sadly, writing and playing music. Which is why it’s a fairly swift kick in the pants to interview someone roughly 10 years my junior who’s already accomplished more musically than I may well ever. Still, it’s tough to get a good hate-on for 22-year-old Montréal folkie Charlotte Cornfield — she’s just too talented and too unfailingly humble about her already-impressive career. In addition to already getting her degree in jazz drumming (and touring as the backbeat [...]
Chris Morin Published Thursday July 28, 11:41 am Charlotte Cornfield 's life has become one of near-perpetual motion. Since leaving her home in Toronto to attend Concordia University in Montréal, the jazz-drummer-turned-folk singer hasn't stopped going. Playing in a variety of ensembles on a variety of instruments—Cornfield drums for a variety of singer-songwriters as well as in an all-female jazz group, in addition to solo and full band iterations of her own material—the 23-year-old musician isn't picky about the way delivers her music, whether she's choosing a genre or a vehicle.

So we're a couple days into HPX 2011 , and because we haven't been out yet, we'll quote our favorite uber-drunk Gus' patron "What's up with the music guys, IS IT AWESOME?" That's more of a rhetorical question really, we know most of the shows have probably been awesome. Not awesome: the rain. As per usual, the Ack and I are contemplating hitting a show or two tonight, and boom, we have a monsoon season in Halifax now. Sorry everyone. Let us make it up to you with a bunch of songs from some of the folks [...]
