Corin and band are making a live album this year, with this being the second of two shows being recorded on their home-stage in the front room of Toronto's Cameron House, 45-years strong this year.
This record will be a follow-up to Corin Raymond and the Sundowners 2013 live-album release PAPER NICKELS, the production of which was paid for entirely with Canadian Tire money.
ABOUT CORIN RAYMOND
Winnipeg-born, Ontario-raised, JUNO-nominated singer/storyteller CORIN RAYMOND has been a full-time troubadour for twenty-two years – so he’s beyond saving.
Corin Raymond songs continue to be covered by The STRUMBELLAS, HARPOONIST & the AXE MURDERER, The GOOD LOVELIES, DUSTIN BENTALL, and other far-flung weirdos and song-junkies.
Corin’s fifth full-length solo album DIRTY MANSIONS was released in 2019.
His Toronto band, CORIN RAYMOND and the SUNDOWNERS, have been playing the 6-8 pm spot on Thursdays at The Cameron House on Toronto’s Queen St. West for exactly 21-and-a-half years – the longest he’s held a job.
“Intimate, open-hearted and evangelical.” – Vancouver’s Georgia Straight
“A hypnotic, literate collection of dark tall tales… Romantic, immediate, and narcotic.” – No Depression, on Corin’s JUNO-nominated 2016-album Hobo Jungle Fever Dreams
“Corin Raymond is a storyteller who by the end of the night you’ll have known your whole life.” – The Globe and Mail
Goosebumps guaranteed,
Bahoozbah!

A word about Corin Raymond's Dirty Mansions:
Two and a half years in the making, weighing in at ten songs and two bonus tracks produced by Winnipeg's Scott Nolan, accompanied by 264 pages of chords, lyrics, stories and art, this album release celebrates a project that's like Raymond's Paper Nickels, Bookworm, and his JUNO-nominated Hobo Jungle Fever Dreams all rolled into ONE. As well as being his finest song collection, Dirty Mansions is Raymond's first book launch! We hope you'll join Corin along with guitarist Mike T. Kerr, upright bassist Joe Phillips, keyboardist Treasa Levasseur, and Winnipeg's Joanna Miller on drums for this celebration that delves deeper into Raymond's literary-musical hybrid world than we've gone before. Magic guaranteed.
