Editor's note

Bahamas, the quiet Canadian songwriter Afie Jurvanen

Toronto-based musician whose reflective songs like 'I Had It All' build around acoustic guitar and understated vocals.

For the Bahamas sound, 'I Had It All' and 'Trick To Happy' frame it best, that quiet, reflective quality he's built a catalog around.

Jurvanen's songs have a particular quiet quality that feels lived-in rather than performed. 'I Had It All' from his 2009 debut 'Pink Strat' sets the template, acoustic guitar, his voice, and lyrics that don't shout. He's also written about social issues, like the song 'Aftermath' which addresses racial injustice, without losing that intimate feel.

He started releasing music in 2009 with 'Pink Strat,' working with a small group including bassist Jack Lawrence. The 2018 album 'Earthtones' dealt with loss and resilience, and in 2019 he canceled a tour due to a vocal cord disorder, which changed his approach to performing.
