Studio Performance Video Accompanies Soul-Baring Folk-Roots Collection
Kimberley, BC-based folk-roots duo The Eisenhauers unveil their deeply personal sophomore album Back Burner, available today via Black Hen Music, alongside the release of their third feature single, “Well My Dear.”
Written by Sheree Plett Eisenhauer, “Well My Dear” explores the patience and persistence required to nurture lasting love.
“This song is a reflection of the patience and persistence that relationships require,” says Sheree. “Although it would be nice if things were easy all the time, sometimes taking the harder, more painful path allows for the opportunity to grow together and a chance to learn to love and forgive one another over and over again.”
At its core, Back Burner chronicles Sheree and Jeremy Eisenhauer’s journey through a near-separation and their ultimate decision to recommit to both their marriage and their music. Tracked live at Vancouver’s iconic Warehouse Studio with producer Steve Dawson, the 12-song set balances raw intimacy with a vibrant full-band sound. Session players include drummer Leon Power (City and Colour, Frazey Ford), bassist Jeremy Holmes, keyboardist Jen Gunderman (Sheryl Crow), and guest vocals from Jill Barber on the song “Gambler.”
“These songs were born in some of our hardest moments, but they also hold the proof of how music can heal,” reflects Jeremy. “Recording them together reminded us why we started doing this in the first place – and why we’re still choosing each other, and the music, every day.”
From the introspective ache of “Heartache Alley” and “Not Working,” to the hopeful lift of “Pretty Song” and “First Robin,” Back Burner captures the full emotional spectrum of a couple fighting to stay connected. “Well My Dear” stands as a poignant centerpiece – a gentle affirmation that resilience and forgiveness are at the heart of enduring love.
