September 22, 2026 - Fresh from a successful UK tour with Kieran Poile on fiddle, multi-award-winning Canadian songwriter Gordie Tentrees releases his new single ‘No Regrets’, the third track to be unveiled from his forthcoming album Dandelion Blue, due for release October 20th.
‘NO REGRETS’ VIDEO: https://youtu.be/qAb60gufVXc?si=Kgo3VKuMlFb473Ga
Filmed at Ganaraska Recording by Tim O'Reilly of Sound Still Productions, the accompanying video captures Tentrees performing on resonator guitar and vocals alongside Jimmy Bowskill on upright bass, and Steve Marriner on harmonica at Ganaraska Studios in Baltimore, Ontario.
Following well-received singles ‘Back At The Cabin’ and ‘Telegraph’, ‘No Regrets’ offers another intimate glimpse into the world of Dandelion Blue. The song was written by Tentrees with his 12-year-old son, Norman.
“My son Norman told me it was time to write a song together and here it is, inspired by his time here on earth and finding himself along the way.”
— Gordie Tentrees
