"Show Me"

Taylor Ayanna

"When people ask me about 'Show Me', I tell them the story really came from the music first. I wasn't sitting there trying to write about my own situation or make some big statement. The moment Obie [the producer] started playing that main guitar part, I saw the story right then and there. The guitar felt intimate and honest. Once all the instrumentation was laid down, I fell in love with the track immediately. That guitar line carried a story on its own, and I just followed it. The lyrics came from what the music was asking for: clarity, intention, love that's proven through action instead of promises. I wasn't forcing meaning onto it, the song revealed the story to me as we built it. Show Me is about trusting that feeling and letting the music lead the emotion where it wanted to go. It's about honesty, vulnerability, and genuine emotional investment."

Out & About

With The Guess Who Beginning June 25th!

 Takin’ It Back Tour

Beloved Canadian sons and classic rock legends Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman have announced an extensive U.S. headline tour, performing as The Guess Who for the first time in 23 years. Dubbed the Takin’ It Back Tour, the newly announced U.S. dates kick off June 25th at Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Minneapolis, MN, making stops in major markets including Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, and will feature support from Don Felder (formerly of the Eagles).
Cummings comments, “Randy and I are incredibly grateful that our music has endured all these years. Knowing that people still want to hear these songs live means everything to us, and when we go out on stage, our goal is to truly honour the music.” Bachman adds, “I’m really excited about reuniting with Burton and touring again as The Guess Who. We created an amazing body of work together, along with memories that have lasted for decades, and those songs are still as strong as ever. I can’t wait to sing them with everyone very soon.”

Have a great week,

Scott Emerson
