<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; border-collapse: separate;" class="Apple-style-span">In Canada’s smallest province, for generations the name “Chaisson” has come to be synonymous with great music.&nbsp; Now, venturing far beyond the shores of Prince Edward Island, Tim Chaisson is currently making this synonym known throughout the world.<br>Fueled by overwhelming response to 2010’s Broken Hearted Beat, Tim Chaisson and Morning Fold are surfing a tidal wave of national acclaim and adoration – and are now poised to win over the hearts of Australia on an upcoming tour this fall.<br>Leafing through the list of recent accomplishments of this dynamic four-piece led by their magnetic front man feels like you’re perusing the resume of a big name artist in that time just before they were set to explode: Two Top 10 videos including a #1 in Canada’s national music video countdown, Much More Music Top 10, for the hit single Broken Hearted Beat. The most #1 singles on the Canadian East Coast Countdown.&nbsp; The headliner for the recent Atlantic Canada House at the Vancouver Olympics. A veritable slew of regional awards. A national tour this past year with one of the best hard rock bands to come out of Canada in years, The Trews.&nbsp; And has recently shared the stage with a who’s who of superb talent including: The Tragically Hip, Joel Plaskett, Finger 11, Corb Lund, Big Sugar, Johnny Reid, Gordie Sampson, Catherine MacLellan, Michelle Wright, Lennie Gallant, Sweet, Matt Anderson, Haywire and Lady Antebellum.<br>All this, and moreover, Chaisson recently was honoured to be commissioned as Music Director for the Royal Visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to PEI in July of 2011.&nbsp; But, the position of Music Director would only be held too easily by Chaisson. As the multi-instrumentalist shows as much prowess on guitar, fiddle, piano, as he does with his exceptional vocals, to lead and direct with this skill seems to come all too naturally to him.<br>And certainly, Morning Fold members Nat Lamoureux (drums), Brien McCarthy (bass) and Tian Wigmore (guitars) know this perfectly well by this point – as Chaisson’s passion, creativity, absolute charm, and rare talent are forever on clear display, whether on record or on the live stage – and make one think all the more that this ticking stardom bomb could be set to explode at any moment.</span><br>
