In-Flight Safety's Daniel Ledwell Releases Solo Record

In-Flight Safety keyboardist Daniel Ledwell will release his first solo effort, Two Over Seven, via Emm Gryner's Dead Daisy Records on Jan. 29.

Ledwell wrote, arranged and performed the seven songs on guitar, bass, percussion, trumpet, cello, lap steel, keyboards, glockenspiel and banjo. He also sang and recorded, produced and mixed Two Over Seven in his Halifax home studio. Rose Cousins added background vocals to the mellow-sounding folk-inflected indie pop record.

Five of the mini-album's seven songs can be previewed on Ledwell's MySpace page.

The graduate of Mount Allison University's fine arts program remains a member of In-Flight Safety and continues to paint, draw and design. He recently started work on his first animated music video.

Ledwell will perform twice at Halifax's In The Dead Of Winter Festival: on Jan. 30 at the Italian Cultural Centre with Cousins, Jon Brooks and I See Rowboats; and on Feb. 1 at Fred with Steven Bowers and Laura Merrimen.

Here are the songs on Two Over Seven:

"Daisy, You Are A Liar"
"Little River Run""New Flame"
"I Have Made You A Mixed Tape"
"Gone For Good"
"Writing You Out"
"Goodnight Goodnight"
