ASAmeliaCurranWatershed.jpg Amelia Curran is a Juno Award winning songwriter and a mental health advocate from St. John's Newfoundland. She released her 8th album in March 2017 entitled, Watershed.

This album just received 3 ECMA 2018 award nominations for: Folk Recording, Solo Recording and Album of the Year.

Strings & Bass arrangements by Erin Costelo, Recorded & performed by Drew Jurecka with James Rhodes.

The album marks a treshold, a shake-up of directional change. The tenor of this new album is openness , a reflection in part of Curran's increasingly public efforts to battle the stigma of mental health issues in the arts. Amelia is a mental health advocate from St. John's. Her music is distinguished by her intricate and elliptical lyrics, geologic in their resilience & oceanic in their depts.

Atlantic Seabreeze gives this album a five star rating out of five stars. The album is certainly a great listening-to album and will be a welcome addition to music lovers libraires.
