Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee and Barenaked Ladies co-founder Steven Page will release Steven’s Greetings, a new holiday album featuring original songs, seasonal favourites and reimagined music from across his celebrated career, digitally on November 13 via Fresh Baked Goods, with the physical CD arriving November 23.
Recorded largely with longtime collaborators Craig Northey and Kevin Fox of the Steven Page Trio, and featuring appearances by Page’s three sons and Spirit of the West’s Geoffrey Kelly, the ten-track collection brings Page’s unmistakable wit, warmth and emotional honesty to the holiday season.
For Page, who once approached holiday music with a healthy dose of “bah humbug,” the record grew from a changing relationship with the season and with the role music can play in people’s lives.
“The idea of a holiday album, more songs to add to the stack or the giant playlist that so many of us prepare for the season, now feels oddly like an act of service,” says Page. “Making music that is useful to people, however they want to use it, feels a bit like purpose.”
Across ten tracks, Steven’s Greetings makes room for the full emotional spectrum of the holidays: celebration, family and togetherness, but also loneliness, nostalgia, sobriety, loss and the occasional overwhelming desire to leave the party and go home.
That last impulse inspired the album’s lead single and opening track, “Cheese Log,” arriving October 28. The song began as Page improvising during a soundcheck to make Northey and Fox laugh. Written as people began gathering socially again after the pandemic, it follows someone abandoning the festivities in favour of home and a homemade cheese log. What began as a joke ultimately became something much more personal.
