Spearin is a multi-instrumentalist primarily known as a founding member of the instrumental post-rock ensemble Do Make Say Think and an original member of the indie-rock collective Broken Social Scene.
His most recent work – and first solo album – innocently titled The Happiness Project centres around recorded conversations with his downtown neighbours and plays with the cadence of their voices as though they were songs. More here.
Well-known for being a member of the band Mrs. Torrance before embarking on a solo career in 2000, Williamson has been featured on Much Music and The New Music Show, voted fourth best concert of the year in 2003 (ahead of Greenday and behind Bjork), fronted the trip hop band Microbunny (which won the CBC new search in 2002), signed to a French label and played shows across Europe and North America.
For Audio Book, Williamson will be joined by the other members of the band Mrs. Torrance, who will be playing together again with new material. Also joining will be Sarah Fazackerley, a blues/rock singer based out of the GTA. More here.
