Bahamas band

Our Frostbite Music Series continued with a session with Bahamas,  a project of Canadian artist Afie Jurvanen. He stopped by before his show later that night at Shank Hall.

Listen to the session in the player above -- and check out the photos below.

Jurvanen is self-taught on guitar and has worked with such musicians as Feist, Howie Beck, Jason Collett, Jack Johnson, The Weather Station, and Zeus.

Jurvanen recorded his debut album, "Pink Strat," in a cabin in rural Ontario in 2008. It was released under the name Bahamas in 2009 and subsequently nominated for a 2010 Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year – Solo.

Bahamas' second album, "Barchords," was released on Feb. 7, 2012. At the 2013 Juno Awards, it was nominated for the Adult Alternative Album of the Year and Jurvanen was nominated for Songwriter of the Year for the tracks "Be My Witness," "Caught Me Thinking," and "Lost in the Light."

His third album, "Bahamas Is Afie," was released Aug. 19, 2014. It was awarded first place on the CBC Q's Top 20 Albums of 2014.
