Ayla Brooks

One warm June week in 2007, AA Sound System singer-songwriter Ayla Brook took half a dozen old songs and a handful of fresh ones needing clearing out of the song closet, grabbed producer Danny Michel and engineer John Blerot, and headed back to the Pine Ridge Farm in Lily Plain, Saskatchewan. Foot stomps, hand claps and late night rummy gang vocals were added to creaking floor boards and acoustic strums. After The Morning After is an album about love, about comraderie, about being in the places you belong – it’s truly a kitchen party of the heart.
