Photo submitted Homegrown singer/songwriter Ayns- ley Saxe is launching her debut album, Take Me As I Am, on Sunday, April 21, at Hugh's Room in Toronto, 8-9:30 p.m. Many consider Hugh's Room to be one of the best venues in Canada to hear live music. She will be performing with a nine-piece band. Originally from Georgetown, Saxe now resides in Toronto, pursuing her dream to write and play her original music full time. Some will re- member her playing in the Wind Ensemble at Georgetown District High School, or Cen- tennial Middle School's Jazz Band. Saxe is proud of her roots, where she grew up and fell in love with music and she re- turns often to visit family and friends. Firemen, true love, loss, cross- dressing-- these are just a few of the themes explored by Saxe. Her feature single, Stop, Drop & Roll (The Fireman Song) was released in November 2012 as a CD single and free digital down- load. Even before the recording was fi nished, its teaser preview on YouTube attracted hundreds of views and a TV commercial licensing deal for the Sas- katchewan Professional Fire Fighters Calendar to help raise money for their Burn Fund. But it's not all about the fi remen. Take Me As I Am strikes a balance between hilarity and vulnerabil- ity. Known for her piano- driven ballads reminiscent of Sarah McLachlan and Jewel, Saxe takes listeners on an emotional journey where they may fi nd them- selves reaching for Kleen- ex in one song and laugh- ing out loud the next. To preview Saxe's new songs Stop, Drop & Roll (The Fireman Song) and Winter Love, featured on the new album, visit Ayns- leySaxe.com. Hugh's Room is located at 2261 Dun- das St. W., Toronto.
