Little Brown Jug Brass honours family legacy in heartfelt new single “My North Star Home” featuring Ashley Ghostkeeper

“My North Star Home,” a deeply moving new single featuring famous Métis artist Ashley Ghostkeeper, is the return of Little Brown Jug Brass, who are known for their lively mix of funk, jazz, and roots. The song is a heartfelt tribute to family, legacy, and the lasting advice of loved ones.

The group’s trademark brassy reinventions are mixed with introspective lyrics about hard work, love, and wisdom passed down through generations in “My North Star Home.” The song narrates the tale of a father whose lessons and dedication endure even after his demise. The lyrics paint a picture of family, strength, and the “north star” that guides us all the time, from long summer days in the fields to the values he taught his kids.

Ashley Ghostkeeper’s singing adds warmth and closeness to the song, which goes well with Little Brown Jug Brass’s lively, funk-infused music. The song is both heartfelt and impossible to stop listening to because it has a perfect mix of soulful storytelling and the group’s signature high-energy arrangements.

Little Brown Jug Brass has been called “bringing the party” because their sound combines funky jazz, roots influences, and brassy reinventions into something both familiar and new. “My North Star Home” adds a deep, reflective layer to the band’s music that shows how versatile they are while still keeping the positive energy that fans love.

Mark Winters celebrates life’s best moments on new release “All In The Rhythm”

Mark Winters’ new track, “All In The Rhythm,” is a warm and moving folk-pop release that celebrates the quiet truth that life’s best moments often come from staying in step with the people we love. The song has an organic sense of openness and forward motion, inspired by a hike in Zion National Park.

“All In The Rhythm” captures the grounding simplicity of walking, breathing, and sharing meaningful moments with others, with an acoustic guitar and a steady pulse. That pulse-like rhythm is symbolic not just of music, but of connection itself.

The track hits home because of its uplifting honesty. It poses a serious question: what if the search for happiness is not about more, but about movement in harmony with loved ones, with life, with the now? That notion gives the song emotional weight without weighing down its bright spirit.

The folk-pop foundation lends it accessibility and charm. The steady groove propels the song with a reassuring, alive momentum, while acoustic textures add warmth. It’s easy to imagine listeners connecting with its hopeful message, because it speaks to something universal.
