LISTEN HERE I WATCH HERE

PLAY LIFE ON SHORE (CARRY ME AWAY) VIDEO GAME HERE

ANNOUNCES CANADIAN TOUR DATES

Toronto, ON – August 13, 2021 – Today, nomadic indie-folk musician, Tennyson King, releases his new elemental and flowing single, Life On Shore (Carry Me Away). It’s a song filled with guitar sounds mimicking a journey into the ocean - an important and rejuvenating constant. Hailing from Hong Kong and Canada, these elements are integral to Tennyson, who interacts, learns, and escapes within nature in a meditative and peaceful process. Life On Shore (Carry Me Away) was recorded at RHC Studios in Toronto, and was produced and mixed by Juno nominee, Ross Hayes Citrullo. Tennyson says, “The idea [is] of escaping our shores and disappearing into the ocean, being drawn in by all its beauty.”
 
Listen to the beautifully naturistic Life On Shore (Carry Me Away) here, and watch the accompanying lyric video here.
 
“This song came to life because of my love for the ocean and being on or in the ocean. My first tour and travels into Australia, was the most time I ever spent near a body of ocean and I realized then how much I love it, how it is a place away from all the stress and troubles that happens on land,” adds Tennyson. “To me now, the ocean is addictive, I never want to be away from it, and when I’m near it, I feel like it’s calling out to me to go out to the water.”
 
In addition, Tennyson shares today, a video game for the single, which you can play here. Designed by Cesar Barbosa, navigate an adventure as an animated Tennyson hopping around an ocean paradise island to the instrumental sounds of the new single. Once you collect all the musical notes and the sweet cherry red guitar, make your way to the music venue and a musical surprise awaits.

"I love multi-media collaborations and Cesar Barbosa, responsible for all my digital content, just started building video games as a hobby. We thought it was the perfect chance to try something new, and give everyone a different way to experience my music," says Tennyson. "Everyone knows I'm always running around the world trying to get to my shows, with the game, they can actually be a part of that experience!"
 
Tennyson King will be hitting the road in British Columbia this month – see below for a date near you and to join the in-person experience. Also stay tuned for more from Tennyson King as his story unfolds this fall.
