BEAVER BANK: <\/strong>Being a new parent has been an inspiration for Beaver Bank musician Ian Gosbee\u2014even musically.<\/p>\n

Gosbee just released his fifth album, \u2018Life is Good\u2019 on streaming platforms Spotify; Apple Music; Google Music; Amazon; and more. The title, funny enough, is credited to a saying from his wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe title track and album name I give credit to her as being new parents and everything she said, \u2018Life is good\u2019 and it just stuck in my head when I went in the studio,\u201d said Gosbee. <\/span><\/p>\n

He said \u2018Life is Good\u2019 and \u2018Steal our joy\u2019 are his favorite songs off the album as he winged it in the studio and wrote them on the spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Life is Good\u2019 took him three to make following his previous album, \u2018East Coast Road Trip.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis album and my last album are digital only,\u201d said Gosbee. \u201cMy car and my computer don\u2019t have a CD player in it, so I think it\u2019s a sign of the times to go digital\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Gosbee records with John Murphy of Simple Productions in Lower Sackville. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt took some time to get a full catalogue of music because I got married and had a son and the same with John,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, our schedules didn\u2019t align for awhile.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the songs \u2018Dance\u2019 and \u2018Goodnight, Goodbye\u2019 were written on his son\u2019s toy xylophone. <\/span><\/p>\n

On \u2018Life is Good\u2019 Gosbee plays all the instruments as it makes it easy to lay down all the different instruments tracks like guitar, keyboard, drum, bass in one night. He then will come back and do good vocals and some lead guitar solos. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI did this previously on different albums and those songs manage to be the \u2018hits\u2019 winning some awards,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe next thing in the works is summer festivals, promotions for the new album and John is mixing my side project six song EP in the next few months as I write some new songs and work on the sixth album,\u201d said Gosbee.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
