    – Presss Release

    Roxanne Potvin, the 23-year-old singer and guitarist – who is “emigrating” to Toronto from her home in Gatineau, Quebec – will launch her star-studded sophomore CD, The Way It Feels, with a special concert at The Rivoli, 332 Queen St. West, on Thursday March 9.

    Adding a three-man horn section to her band for the occasion, she will be presenting new material from the CD, which is due to hit the street two days before the show. The album is on the Alert label, and is distributed nationally by Universal Music.

    Potvin is attracting a considerable street “buzz” about the CD, which includes contributions from a wide range of players, including producer Colin Linden, John Hiatt, Bruce Cockburn and members of the Fairfield Four and the Memphis Horns. Eight of the songs on the CD were written by the singer, who also plays electric and acoustic lead guitar; Potvin, who is completely bilingual sings one song on the album – a duet in French – with Daniel Lanois.
