Could be a lover, could be a virus, either/or you are not welcome here sings our pal Rory Taillon. Now based in Ottawa but originally from the Puerto Perry, Taillon has released a new single, “Welcome'“ from his upcoming album due to drop in May. The song was produced by Rory, Dean Watson and Theo Posthumus. There is a campfire jam band base to it, Blind Melon or Phish -ish but as one watches the sparks flicker upwards its Rory’s voice that soars with them and its a voice that could carry us all out of this mess here in this global village of ours. Dig into this prog-folk number and maybe we can all sing it from our balconies and raise our antennae like skinny fists in solidarity. If Rory joins in I’m pretty sure no matter where the subject hides in the world it would hear him loud and clear, “You’re not welcome here!”
