From the upcoming Little Leaf album “A Place in the Choir” features bandmates from my 3x JUNO nominated, 6x CFMA winning global groove band Sultans of String, along with Chris Coole on banjo, backing vocals from singer-to-the-stars Rebecca Campbell, and a children’s chorus. The track is produced in Dolby Atmos by myself along with Kevin Laliberté and Grammy/JUNO Award winning John ‘Beetle’ Bailey.
’A Place in the Choir’ sings of belonging, where every creature - large or small, ordinary or strange - has a note to add to life’s great chorus. The variety of animal voices is a metaphor for the many shapes of human difference, and reminds us that what seems odd or uncommon is beautiful when joined with others.
The song is a celebration of community: the magic that emerges when each distinct voice, instead of being hidden, is woven into a shared harmony. In today’s fractured world, where everyone is living in their silos, diversity can seem like a challenge, but is actually the very source of strength and joy in society.

LYRICS:
All God's critters got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing higher
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire
Some just clap their hands or paws,
Or anything they've got now
Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom
Where the bullfrog croaks, and the ram and ewe
Moan and groan with a big to-do
And the old cow just goes “moo”
Dogs and the cats, they take up the middle
While the honeybee hums, and the cricket fiddles
The donkey brays and the pony neighs
The old coyote howls
Listen to the top, where the little birds sing
On the melodies, with the high notes ringing
The barred owl hollers over everything
And the jay bird disagrees
Singing in the nighttime, singing in the day
The little duck quacks and he's on his way
Opossum hasn't got much to say
And the porcupine talks to himself
It's a simple song of living sung everywhere
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear
The grumpy goat and the hawk above
The sly racoon and the turtle dove
