Rebecca Hennessy has announced her 10th album Joy Will Find Us.
It’s the follow-up to the Toronto-based trumpeter, vocalist and composer’s 2020
release All the Little Things You Do, delivering a continuation of the story from that recording.
Exploring themes of hope, healing and new life, Joy Will Find Us was recorded a month before her daughter was born, and finished while she was learning how to be a new mom.

The album was recorded and co-produced at Hennessy’s home studio with her husband, Michael Herring, and award-winning producer and engineer David Travers-Smith.
Hennessy’s band featured bassist Herring, guitarist Kevin Breit and drummers Tim Shia and Dave Clark.
