"Nowhere I'd Rather Be", Courtney Farquhar's debut full-length album is captivating right from the very first note. She opens up her heart and soul in a series of unforgettable songs that conjure up beautiful images and lure you into her world.
Produced by Ben Riley and Dylan Heming, this album blends pop, folk, country, and a hint of jazz resulting in a unique sound that distills the essence of Courtney’s love for music. "The recording of this album was such an amazing experience. Everything came together so naturally and I feel that it’s evident in the outcome of the project. It's an honest record, the real deal."
Dreamy yet down to earth, the title track feels like you're floating through a love story you never want to end. This duet with Canadian singer/songwriter Ron Sexsmith is a song that is timeless and universal. "I have been an admirer of Sexsmith’s for years. He is so inspiring. Having him on this album is a dream come true".
"We're All the Same" and "Man Like You" are more upbeat and edgy whereas "How I Got Here", a slow and sultry waltz, leaves your heart an open door. "Eyes Painted Blue", sung with guest Mary Margaret O'Hara, channels the mood of Patsy Cline and evokes a sense of nostalgic bliss. Courtney's songwriting captures so many of the feelings we go through in life and love and, when interwoven with her voice and guitar, reveals an undeniable wealth of talent.
In 2004 the authenticity of her voice and music brought Courtney to the attention of Garry Newman, former CEO of Warner Music Canada. Her song, "That's What Happens" was included and released on Warner's 'Women and Songs 7' album, which immediately went platinum in Canada. Shortly afterward, Courtney recorded, co-produced and released her first 6 song EP, which enabled her to tour throughout Canada and Europe. "Somewhere Else", the last song on her EP, was placed in an episode of Fox's television series "Army Wives" in the U.S.
Courtney’s ingenuity is inspiring, her lyrics scintillating, and her live performances never-to-be-forgotten. "Nowhere I'd Rather Be" is an album that will most assuredly have you coming back for more.
