Bahamas is Afie Jurvanen, is a Canadian musician who spent three yours as Feist’s touring guitarist/pianist. He released his debut solo album Pink Strat in 2009, released only in Canada. The album received a Juno nomination and was nominated for the Polaris Music Prize. The album was recorded in a cabin in 2008, and he plays lo-fi folk rock. Reminds you of Bon Iver a bit, doesn’t it?
He plays warm acoustic rock that will capture your heart and soul. If you don’t believe me, check out “Already Yours”, which he performed for Southern Souls. It’s an honest expression of human emotion that will put your man at ease.

I’m sad it took me this long to discover Bahamas. I’m sure that I’m not alone though. For the rest of you who are new to his music, you’d probably like to know that his album Pink Strat will be released in the US on April 19th.
