Mike Aube’s songs might be played in the tradition of contemporary folk, but he plays them with a certain youthfulness that enables him to bring his own signature to the genre.
Born in New Brunswick, Aube had at one time pursued a career in education, working as a teacher before a quarter-life crisis saw him abandoning his career in order to pursue music. He took off to Windsor, NS and recorded his debut album, Aberdeen Street, which received critical praise as well as airplay on CBC and college radio.
With Aberdeen Street being released in 2006, Aube followed it up with 2009’s Cluster Folk. In addition to the clever name, it provided a fresh batch of playful and catchy folk with enough country influence and references to east coast living to make it clearly Canadian, but not in a hokey way.
Most of Aube’s upcoming shows are taking place in and around his hometown. All that’s left to do now is convince him to venture outside of the valley and treat the rest of us to his music.
