Aaron Lines Releases "Sunday Afternoon"

March 17, 2010

Aaron Lines' brand new album "Sunday Afternoon", which includes his latest hit single, I Haven't Even Heard You Cry, will be in stores March 16th. The recently crowned "most played solo artist of the last decade on Country radio" says the new material is a reflection of his life right now, as all songs were written or co-written by Lines.

"As a songwriter, I only write songs that reflect what's going on in my life. Everybody always asks me if this CD is different than all my other albums. And the answer is 'yes', only because as the years go by my songwriting changes due to different life experiences."

The album was initially set to be released in September but was postponed due to the death of Lines' father.

"I realize now more than ever how fortunate I am to be playing music for a living. Of all the great things music has given me - the chance to stay home and spend the last months of my dad's life, right beside him - is music's greatest gift at this point."

The video for the latest single, playing now on CMT, was shot in Tokyo, Japan during a recent tour stop of Aaron's and includes appearances from his wife and daughter.

"Sunday Afternoon" is released by On Ramp Records / EMI Music Canada.

**Leah Durelle is set to appear at the 12 annual Magnificent River Rats Festival in Athabasca on July 1, 2008.**

January 2008

The performance marks a homecoming in more ways than one for the teen singer/songwriter. This will be Durelle's 3rd appearance at MRRF, but it is also a return to her own roots which go back to her great grandparents, the Richards and the Stirlings who were among the original settlers of the area. Her grandparents made Athabasca their home raising their three children which includes Leah's mom, Janis Richards. Leah has relatives throughout the county and hopes to see them all on July 1.
