Stan Simon - Narrow Bridge EP (2025)

Toronto’s Stan Simon and his latest six-track EP release entitled “Narrow Bridge”. Singer-songwriter Simon has recently endured a period of personal upheaval, culminating with the passing of his father, causing him to delay the release of this EP until the time felt right. The wonderful title track that starts proceedings shows Simon to be another artist concerned with the climate issue, inviting the listener to “cross that narrow bridge” towards awareness, accountability, and renewal as Simon vents his displeasure at “greenwashing” and political indifference. It is a powerful call to arms beautifully delivered by Simon’s soulful and passionate vocals. Elsewhere, the grief-stricken ballad ‘Long Way Past Gone’, written shortly before the passing of his father, aches for the pending loss and grief, the raw emotion intensified by some exquisite pedal steel. The EP on which every track is a winner closes with the anthemic ‘Oblivion’, standing as both a farewell and a beginning, the closing of a chapter and the turning of the page. This EP comes highly recommended.
