BC Folk-Roots Duo The Eisenhauers Announce New Album + Share First Single, “GAMBLER”
Acclaimed BC folk-roots duo The Eisenhauers are proud to announce their long-awaited new album, Back Burner, set for release on September 12, 2025.
Today, they offer a first glimpse of what’s to come with the evocative lead single, “Gambler,” available now on all major streaming platforms via Black Hen Music.
Produced by Steve Dawson (Matt Anderson, Birds of Chicago), “Gambler” was written by Sheree Eisenhauer during a difficult season in her marriage with bandmate and husband, Jeremy Eisenhauer — a song about risking everything for love.
Recorded live at Vancouver’s Warehouse Studio with a full band who hadn’t heard the songs beforehand, the track captures raw, one-take energy and features backing vocals by Vancouver singer-songwriter Jill Barber.
“Writing ‘Gambler’ was like holding up a mirror to everything I was afraid to admit,” says Sheree. “It came from a place of real vulnerability — the kind you don’t always want to share, even with yourself. Recording it live, with musicians who were hearing it for the first time, gave it this unfiltered urgency that matched exactly how it felt to write it. It was terrifying and cathartic all at once.”
Based in Kimberley, BC, the Eisenhauers are an award-winning folk-roots duo known for introspective lyrics, close-knit harmonies, and intimate performances. Their past releases have earned national airplay, critical acclaim, and deep resonance with audiences seeking authenticity in music.
Back Burner marks a powerful return for Jeremy and Sheree, their first release since their 2017 debut album, The Road We Once Knew. Rooted in their signature personal and reflective storytelling, the new album dives deep into themes of resilience, reinvention, and the quiet strength found in letting go.
Perhaps no song captures the tone and message of the record more than “Gambler.” The lyrics deliver simple truths about the inevitable dark days in any relationship and how love is, at its core, a gamble, free of guarantees, no matter the vows or the house full of children.
And yet, despite this uncertainty, one thing is clear: The Eisenhauers have chosen to go all in — on love, on music, and on this next chapter of their story.
