    With their dazzling fourth album Make A Scene, Winnipeg combo Sweet Alibi masterfully deliver soulful roots-pop elevated by the luminous vocal harmonies of Jess Rae Ayre, Amber Nielsen, and Michelle Anderson. Produced by Matt Peters and Matt Schellenberg (a.k.a. members of indie-pop squad Royal Canoe who produce under the Deadmen moniker), Make A Scene weds rich lyrical themes to wildly accessible songs such as the propulsive “Confetti,” which occupied the Top 20 of CBC Radio 2’s national chart for an impressive eight weeks, building on previous airplay Sweet Alibi enjoyed on satellite and terrestrial radio. Bassist Alasdair Dunlop and drummer Sandy Fernandez round out the acclaimed Western Canadian Music Award winners, whose We’ve Got To album scored 2014’s Roots Duo/Group Recording of the Year. Watch for Sweet Alibi on tour in 2022 and beyond.

about

This song is inspired by honest and hardworking people who are sacrificing their comfort for the greater good. Sometimes the way we have been doing things needs to change. We make mistakes and we learn from them. Following the beat of your own drum
can be so difficult at times but in the end, we rest knowing we did our best and stayed honest and true.
Doing what you believe is right. Yesterday the world was a different place and as it
changes we need to change as well to meet the needs of those around us and also to take care of our natural world
that supports our lives

lyrics

Yesterday they made it
Now they want to change it
Everybody's got to make a mistake
When you're making a decision
Following the Rhythm
It's hard to do but it's really great
And it's hard to do but it really great
Really great

Try to say I'd make it
but every time I fake it
You know I fell right through the crack
When you're making a decision
Questioning religion
There's a better way to look back
And it's hard to do but it's really great
And it hard to but it really great
It's really great

All my life I've been reaching
Taking what I'm needing
Taking what I'm needing
All my life I've been reaching
Taking what I'm needing taking what I'm needing
All my life I've been reaching
Taking what I'm needing
Taking what I need

Sweet Alibi Winnipeg, Manitoba

There is more than a touch of magic in the luminous vocal harmonies powering the soulful roots pop of Winnipeg combo Sweet Alibi.
The voices of Jess , Amber and Michelle are tightly braided together, as they are in the super-sticky title track of their dazzling fourth album, Make A Scene, or are ornamenting Ayre’s lead on the gorgeously propulsive and contemplative “Slow Down,” ... more
