Tune into the Grey Cup Saturday coverage this weekend (1-6pm EST) to see Donovan Woods talk about and perform his song “My Cousin Has A Grey Cup Ring”. The track is a wistful ballad about winning a Grey Cup Ring about his father and his father’s cousin, CFL Hall Of Fame defensive lineman Glen Weir.

I’m so happy to be pitching this song from Vancouver-based artist Jordan Klassen (currently working with Bearsuits’ sister company Endearing Publishing). “Go To Me” isn’t just a song you can have just one listen to. A simple uke led number that hits in stride as a march and explodes in a finish with whistles, gang vocals and trumpets. Think Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros near the end and The Shins‘ James Mercer singing the parts leading up to it.

I’m such a fan of this song. A great combination of a simple four on the floor kick, single-string based acoustic guitar, a couple casio effects and of course a beautiful voice.
