Though the three songs present on his latest EP, Fallen, clock in in amalgam at just around 15 minutes tops, they are the very definition of “short but sweet.”Įach of the songs present-from titular lead single ‘Fallen’, through ‘In Need’ and ‘Places’-each fully encompass an idea of togetherness and intimacy that often feels forgotten in this modern, technological age that we live in.
German-born, Canadian-bred and currently American-living Gert Taberner (how’s that for embracing the classic tale of a bard?) understands this, right down to his very bones.

These are individuals who know how to make a catchy hook or to produce an entire earworm of a song, who may be known for their individualistic, resonant voices to the point that they could justifiably be seen as a pop act, but who embrace the folk attitude of wearing their hearts on their sleeves for their songs, and thankfully never sacrificing art for their mainstream paycheck. Amongst the drone of commercialization slapped with “folk” and “singer-songwriter” labels like it’s going out of style, there are still truth-tellers and emotional capitulators amidst it all who are truly and utterly singer-songwriters at their basest definition-characters like Elizabeth Tighe, or like Noah Gundersen or Damien Rice. There has been a movement, in roots music, as of late, to get it back to its, well, roots.
