Today, Nick Ferrio is sharing another new track from his upcoming LP, Television Of Roses. Lyrically, “Every Time” is “really about my own mental health,” says Ferrio. “The lyrics act as a reminder for me to ‘live more in the moment.’ Like a lot of people, I tend to get stuck in cycles of critical thinking and self-doubt. I often question myself and wonder, am I making the right decision? Am I on the ‘right path’ or did I wander off somewhere along the way? I get stuck on these BIG QUESTIONS like what is my purpose in life – when in reality I’m missing the important things as they happen because I’m too busy worrying!
I eventually had this realization that this is it. This is my life, and I’ve got to embrace it – the highs, the lows and whatever happens in between. It’s about enjoying the moments because they’re precious. And, in a sense the song sort of celebrates that discovery.”

MORE ON TELEVISION OF ROSES
Ferrio describes Television Of Roses as “the light that flickers before your eyes and convinces you otherwise,” harkening Beatles’ Revolver spirits through a menagerie of cosmic feedback, sparse instrumentation and sovereignty musings. Produced by Jonas Bonnetta (Evening Hymns) and set for release on June 18, 2021, the album sees contributions from Caylie Runciman (Boyhood), Evangeline Gentle, Lewis Parker (For Esmé), Nathan Truax (Said the Whale), and Tanner Paré (Heaps).
With Television of Roses, Ferrio arrives upon his decade-long commitment of solo creations with this collection of tactile memories, conversations and wisdoms. He has packaged a document for his son and the state of mind that fatherhood introduced, “Being a parent has made my focus more intense. Thinking of life through the metaphor of a camera, the aperture has been adjusted and what is important is now much more clear. Music and family are the subject and everything else is just noise in the background.”
Recorded by Jonas Bonnetta of Evening Hymns at his rural Port William Sound studio, the 15-year friendship between them and deep-rooted Tom Petty appreciation returned into depth of song: “Jonas has this adept ability to make me and my band feel comfortable. He’s able to conjure and capture magic. We spent nights together in a cabin, working out arrangements for the next day’s session huddled around the woodstove and listening to Full Moon Fever on repeat.”

In that blanket of north Frontenac county, Ferrio and Bonnetta gathered their gang of friends to collaborate: Caylie Runciman (Boyhood), Evangeline Gentle, Lewis Parker (For Esmé), Nathan Truax (Said the Whale) and Tanner Paré (Heaps/The Kents). The swelling results were mixed by Gavin Gardiner (The Wooden Sky) and mastered by Philip Shaw Bova.
Ferrio’s appetite to search beyond the song is found throughout the breadcrumbs of his work: July Talk and Indigenous high-school students at Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School in Thunder Bay; his involvement in the New Constellations Tour alongside Polaris Music Prize nominees Lido Pimienta, Elisapie, Feist, and Jeremy Dutcher; recordings with Julie Doiron and world-wide performances with Ansley Simpson, The Burning Hell, and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, amongst others.
“Writing songs is a large part of my identity now. At this time in my life, it feels like music is a part of what is necessary for me to be a person. I do it daily. It’s like tapping into something spiritual for me. It’s my sanctuary.”
