With only a few days remaining before the release of Nick Ferrio’s new LP, Television Of Roses, today the acclaimed songwriter is sharing album track “Worthy Of Love”. “Much of the album is about deception in some way or another,” says Ferrio. “‘Worthy Of Love’ sort of encompasses that best. It's about understanding the obstacles we set up in front of ourselves. Personal deception and self-sabotage. It's about opening up and trying to figure out how to be a better human being, be more vulnerable.”

MORE ON TELEVISION OF ROSES
Produced by Jonas Bonnetta (Evening Hymns) 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.”
