He mentioned that he had an outfit all picked out, one that represented a certain version of a person that he felt that he could dress up and be for the evening. In the end, however, at the last minute, he changed into the clothes he wears all the time: black skinny jeans and a black hoodie, and he came out onstage as himself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is something very brave about this idea- the shedding of the persona, the costume, the attempt to be cooler, or more interesting, more<em> something<\/em>, and instead showing up as we are. This seemed apt for Legere, to show up as himself, because he shows up as himself so much in his music: open hearted and  poetic, yes, but still with an unmistakable rawness that feels very genuine and organic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legere\u2019s debut album <em><a href=\"https:\/\/stewartlegere.bandcamp.com\/album\/quiet-the-station\">Quiet <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/stewartlegere.bandcamp.com\/album\/quiet-the-station\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/stewartlegere.bandcamp.com\/album\/quiet-the-station\"> Station<\/a><\/em> was released in 2017 and<em><a href=\"https:\/\/stewartlegere.bandcamp.com\/album\/to-the-bone-songs-from-splinters\"> To <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/stewartlegere.bandcamp.com\/album\/to-the-bone-songs-from-splinters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/stewartlegere.bandcamp.com\/album\/to-the-bone-songs-from-splinters\"> Bone: Songs from Splinters<\/a><\/em>, the film by Thom Fitzgerald, was released in 2020. Legere began his show on Thursday with \u201cTo the Bone,\u201d which shows off his gorgeous voice especially well. Both albums are the sort that make me wish I had a library with a record player and a leather wingback chair, surrounded by walls of bookshelves, and I could sit in there and listen to Legere\u2019s music with a glass of Scotch, allowing the wistful melodies to waft over me. At their core Legere\u2019s songs are poems, and in this way there is a lot of space for the listener to wonder what he means by certain lyrics: <em>\u201cBrother say something new\/you\u2019ll fit right in\/you\u2019ll fit right in.\u201d <\/em>It is up to us to interpret what he means by fitting right in in this context.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is even more evident in \u201cWrong Machine,\u201d a single that came out in 2020, where the lyrics keep repeating, <em>\u201cWrong machine\/Been working on a wrong machine\/It needs to break\/It needs to break.\u201d <\/em>For me, I immediately had a mental image of a 20th Century sweatshop factory, dozens and dozens and dozens of impoverished women at sewing machines, wishing for the end of Capitalism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhere We Are Going,\u201d also from the soundtrack to <em>Splinters<\/em>, is the song that, for me, seems the most rooted in Halifax, perhaps just because of the line, <em>\u201cwe\u2019re two warm bodies by the oceanside\/sparks and hearts wide open,\u201d <\/em>but I also think there is something in the allusion to time and the act of going that evokes a familiar East Coast experience to me of coming and leaving, and staying, and going, and the way the time passes when we are away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I really love \u201cTwo Old Songs\u201d from <em>Quiet the Station<\/em>, which is a beautifully constructed ballad&nbsp;where someone is singing about the physical remnants they\u2019re holding onto in the aftermath of a broken relationship:<em> \u201cYou can\u2019t have no more time\/locked away behind this heart of mine\/where you claim you\u2019re just passing through\/cuz that\u2019s a lie\/but I\u2019m alright\/and I could stand to be a lonely night\/cuz I got two\/ I got two old songs.\u201d <\/em>Just perfect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1559-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1559-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1559-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1559-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1559-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1559-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1559-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stewart Legere &amp; Friends at The Carleton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legere also sang a few new songs that he\u2019s working on as part of his residency at <a href=\"https:\/\/theatrecentre.org\/\">The <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/theatrecentre.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Theatre<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/theatrecentre.org\/\"> Centre<\/a> in Toronto, and I find his newer songs are lyrically very tight, especially with the ways they rhyme. Legere\u2019s newest single, released earlier this year, is a cowrite with Waants, who was one of his special guests, so they were able to perform \u201cYou Won\u2019t Be Punished For the Lie\u201d together. I listened to this song on repeat for weeks when it was released in the summer. Waants\u2019 sonic influence is strong in this song; it\u2019s much more of an electric\/pop song, something I can imagine dancing to at Buddies during Pride. However, like \u201cWrong Machine,\u201d also released as a pop song, at its core it still sounds like a distinctively Stewart Legere song. I don\u2019t get the sense that he\u2019s wearing the metaphoric coveralls pretending to be someone else; it\u2019s still Stewart in his hoodie, crooning out \u201cwhy bother\u201d in his dreamy voice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Legere\u2019s special guests was Leanne Hoffman.<em> \u201cWhy do things feels so big when they\u2019re empty?\u201d<\/em> she asks in \u201cKing Sized Bed\u201d from her new album <em><a href=\"https:\/\/venuerecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-text-collector\">The Text<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/venuerecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-text-collector\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/venuerecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-text-collector\">Collector<\/a><\/em>. This song is thematically similar to Legere\u2019s \u201cTwo Old Songs,\u201d as it is a meditation on how it feels to be left with all that remains of a relationship afterwards. Waants performed his indie pop song \u201cHopeless\u201d from his 2021 album <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lhmrec.com\/product\/waants-love-u-forever-download\/\"><em>Love U <\/em><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lhmrec.com\/product\/waants-love-u-forever-download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Forever<\/em><\/a>, which is absolutely infectious. The disparity between the upbeat melody that encourages the listener to dance along, and the lyrics: self critical and expressing a feeling of \u201chopelessness,\u201d as the title suggests, mirrors the society that we\u2019re currently living in, one where we are constantly drawn into catchy TikTok reels and escapist culture, while inside most of us are a mess of anxieties about our lives and the world around us.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gianna Lauren performed \u201cTake it Slow\u201d from her third album <em><a href=\"https:\/\/giannalauren.bandcamp.com\/album\/m-o-v-i-n-g-p-a-r-t-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Moving<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/giannalauren.bandcamp.com\/album\/m-o-v-i-n-g-p-a-r-t-s\"> Parts <\/a><\/em>(2017), a song where the content dictates the form. It reminds me a bit of Hey Rosetta!\u2019s \u201cThe First Snow\u201d from their EP <em>A Cup of Kindness Yet<\/em>. I wasn\u2019t familiar with any of these local artists before Legere\u2019s show, so now I have a lot of new music to explore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The show was bookended by Mi\u2019kmaw poet Shannon Webb-Campbell, who read poems from her book <em>I Am a Body of Land<\/em>, which was published in 2019, and was a finalist for the Quebec Writers\u2019 Federation A.M. Klein Prize for poetry.&nbsp;I am looking forward to reading these poems myself and having the time to properly sit and think about them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I frequently see Stewart Legere onstage as an actor, often in his role as Associate Artistic Director of <a href=\"https:\/\/zuppa.works\/\">Zuppa Theatre<\/a>, so I really enjoyed the opportunity to spend an evening at The Carleton immersed not just in his original music, but also in the community that he has forged in the local music community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You can find his music on <a href=\"https:\/\/stewartlegere.bandcamp.com\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BandCamp<\/a>, or wherever you buy or stream your music, and you can follow him on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stewartlegere\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI was almost someone else tonight,\u201d Stewart Legere said at<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4789,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4671],"tags":[7762,7761,3197,7763,3160,3565,4913,3164,6987],"class_list":["post-4787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review","tag-gianna-lauren","tag-leanne-hoffman","tag-music","tag-shannon-webb-campbell","tag-stewart-legere","tag-the-carleton","tag-the-theatre-centre","tag-thom-fitzgerald","tag-waants"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Stewart Legere Shares &quot;Old Songs&quot; &amp; New (With Friends!) at the Carleton - The Way I See It Theatre &amp; Music Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u201cI was almost someone else tonight,\u201d Stewart Legere said at the beginning of his show, Stewart Legere &amp; Friends, last Thursday night at The Carleton in Halifax.
