Shelter From the Storms

Lennie Gallant has released a new deluxe version of his first English-language album in seven years. Shelter From the Storms is Gallant’s 16th album to date, and the new 14-track deluxe version includes three new songs available to the public digitally on all major platforms.

 A percolating slice of Americana, “Please Wait” offers a fervent prayer to a loved one, as the singer rushes home along the highway so that both of them can rescue themselves, together, from the damages of the past. “It’s about a desperate journey through day and night to confront a dark episode that has never been resolved. Some stories refuse to stay buried and must be dealt with head on before those involved can ever find peace,” says Gallant.

The touching folk song “Uncle Harold” is a captivating tale of a full life lived. It tells the heartrending story about Gallant’s Uncle Harold and Aunt Emma, a fascinating tale of how a former sailor became a bird healer.

 “Trust,” a co-write with Chris Ledrew. “‘Trust’ is the elusive and essential element that holds relationships together or allows them to fall apart,” says Gallant.

Shelter From the Storms reflects on the turbulent times we live in, while celebrating the human ability to navigate through hardship with community, love, and laughter.
