Carla recently released a new CD titled <em>The Liberator<\/em>, which she recorded in Nova Scotia. The songs were produced by JP Cormier, a beloved artist in Canadian music who played with Waylon Jennings. I absolutely love the single <em>The Last Train<\/em>. JP sang with her on that track.<\/p>\n<p>Carla Bonnell is especially proud of <em>The Liberator<\/em>, \u201cAll of the material on this new release is my own.\u201d Carla wrote all the music and the lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>The single <em>Gypsy Heart<\/em> is one of my favorite tracks, because I love the classic country beat. Carla Bonnell shared the song\u2019s back story with me: \u201cMy grandfather would tease me when I was a kid and say, \u2018Go peddle your papers.\u2019 That came into my head one day when I was sitting on the couch. So, I just started to write. As the song started to flow out, it became more about my disconnect from where I\u2019m from in New Brunswick. I just started writing about living a gypsy lifestyle, the things I\u2019ve seen in this country and the things I still want to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to collaborating with other artists, Carla is very picky: \u201cI look for somebody who has a real heart for the music. It\u2019s very commercial these days and, right now, we have a great opportunity to be heard. One of my major influences was Stompin\u2019 Tom Connors, a huge Canadian icon who passed away about a year ago. He always sang about what was happening on the ground level in Canada. He talked about the people; he told their story. So, I look for those artists who want to continue to tell the stories of people. I want there to be more of a connection, rather than just an opportunity. When I get that connection, such joy comes through me. I don\u2019t want to lose it, and I want to keep looking for more connections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2810\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-3-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Carla Bonnell performing 3 \" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-3-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-3-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-3-225x225-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-3-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-3-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-3-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Both Carla Bonnell\u2019s father and uncle are musicians. She played piano as her first instrument and began playing guitar at age 14. Carla laughed when I asked her about her extensive music background, \u201cThat\u2019s to kind of fool you. I took classical piano lessons until I was about 10 years old. I started having dreams that I could play guitar. Opportunity knocked and my mom got me my first guitar. We couldn\u2019t get it tuned, so that guitar sat in the closet for a year. By the time I was 14, I got another guitar. My uncle came down from Ontario, about 1500 miles away, and he tuned my guitar for me. At that point, I got a book and started learning all the chords. I watched local musicians and started picking up their style.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carla still plays piano. She also plays other instruments, like the harmonica, drums and the bass guitar. \u201cI love the bass guitar, so when nobody\u2019s looking, I\u2019m usually playing the bass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead of writing lyrical music with the piano or guitar, Carla Bonnell writes to a beat. \u201cWhen I was in the studio with JP, he turned around and looked at me and asked, \u2018Do you have a drummer in your head?\u2019 I write to a beat more so than a tune. Once I feel the beat, that\u2019s when I\u2019ll start writing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carla Bonnell recorded an inspirational CD in Nashville under the guidance of producer BJ McKelvie. \u201cIt was a great experience. We started with songs written by Sam Mullins, who wrote for Diamond Rio, and a circle of writers came in to write with Sam. We had wonderful musicians in the studio, like Pat Buchannan, Greg Morrow, Mike Brignardello and Neil Young\u2019s back-up singer, Dianna DeWitt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Social media is very important to Carla Bonnell&#8217;s\u00a0marketing strategy. \u201cIt\u2019s a little harder than it seems. Everybody says, \u2018Put it on Facebook, make a Facebook page, start tweeting.\u2019 Like everything else, it takes time to build a rapport with people or to get people interested. Right now, I limit myself to Facebook and Twitter, because it can be overwhelming. I also have an official web page.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2809\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-2-225x139.jpg\" alt=\"Carla Bonnell performing 2 \" width=\"225\" height=\"139\" \/>Carla Bonnell advises other artists: \u201cGet involved in your local communities; become somebody there first. They will give you the support and confidence to step out into other communities. When I started out, it was really intimidating to play in the nearest city, Fredericton. This year was the first year that I got to play in Fredericton. It felt so good, because I knew that I had this support system pushing me and telling me to go ahead. Those are the people who, no matter what happens, they\u2019re still going to love you and your music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carla went on to discuss her purpose in music: \u201cThose who want to re-engage tend to come towards me. The commercial sector isn\u2019t that interested. That\u2019s OK, because I\u2019m not that interested either. I\u2019m interested in people. When they come towards me, I gather them up in my arms. I love to hear their stories. I hope that I have many years of being able to write these stories and sing them to other people. I realize that what I desire is to bring people together. I want to tell the story that doesn\u2019t get heard anywhere else. It\u2019s almost like networking emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I love Carla\u2019s purpose. To get your very own copy of <em>The Liberator<\/em>, you can buy it at local stores (if you live in her community in Canada), on CD Baby or through her websites.<\/p>\n<p>The Amused Now Featured Artist Series<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2811\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-4-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Carla Bonnell performing 4 \" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-4-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-4-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-4-225x225-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-4-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-4-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Carla-Bonnell-performing-4-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Carla Bonnell<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.carlabonnell.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.carlabonnell.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/carlabonnell\" target=\"_blank\">@carlabonnell<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CarlaBonnell\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/+CarlaBonnellmusic\/posts\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Amused_Now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/106372266016264510992\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had the pleasure to interview delightful Canadian modern folk recording artist Carla Bonnell.
