Info for Hunter, Hunter (Silver Series - Remastered 2025)

When first released in 2009, Hunter, Hunter confirmed to the rest of the country what Amelia Curran’s East Coast fans already knew: Curran is one of the finest, most nuanced and poetic songwriters of our time. Accented with minimalist but acutely complementary instrumentation and backing vocals by The Once, Hunter, Hunter is elegant, cryptic and devastating.

A showcase for Curran’s inscrutable imagery, the essence of Hunter, Hunter is its worn wisdom, the unflinching product of Curran’s self-effacing, examining and questioning songwriting process. Hunter, Hunter includes some of Curran’s classics, from the steady strum of her signature acoustic guitar work of “Tiny Glass Houses” to “The Mistress,” a song that remains both an opus and an outlier in her library, which includes five full-length albums released on Six Shooter Records.

“2008 was high watermark in the label history,” recalls label president Shauna de Cartier, “That year, Six Shooter truly emerged on the music map with a series of award-winning albums that included Elliott BROOD’s Mountain Meadows, Luke Doucet’s Blood’s Too Rich, NQ Arbuckle’s XOK and Justin Rutledge’s Man Descending. Our hot streak continued: Amelia Curran was signed and her album War Brides rereleased by Six Shooter at the end of 2008. The highly anticipated release of Hunter, Hunter in 2009 thoroughly galvanized our reputation as a home for songwriting excellence. Amelia Curran brought the centre stone of this crown.”

In front of an adoring audience in St. John’s, NL in 2010, Hunter, Hunter made its place in Six Shooter’s own history as the first album to win a JUNO Award. With the 2025 JUNO Awards approaching, this rerelease offers the chance to spotlight Six Shooter’s own awards and nominations history, which tell the story of artistic achievement, mainstream breakouts, commercial success and career-defining moments, across decades.

In Six Shooter’s twenty five years, artists and albums have amassed an impressive 38 JUNO Award wins and nominations. From genres spanning Alternative, Adult Alternative, Roots, Blues and beyond, Six Shooter artists have also been nominated for Songwriter of the Year, Album Art, Indigenous Artist of the Year and more, a true reflection of the label’s broad and excellent roster. Six Shooter has been prominently represented on many JUNO Award broadcasts, with performances by Whitehorse, Tanya Tagaq, William Prince, July Talk and The Strumbellas to date.

Six Shooter’s JUNO Award nominees include Luke Doucet, NQ Arbuckle, Elliott BROOD, Tanya Tagaq, William Prince, The Dead South, Whitehorse, The Deep Dark Woods, July Talk, Lyle Bell, The Strumbellas, Riit, Ensign Broderick, Danny Michel, Justin Rutledge and, most recently, Boy Golden.

The first Silver Series release, Martin Tielli’s We Didn’t Even Suspect That He Was the Poppy Salesman, is available now in limited edition poppy red vinyl and a remastered digital edition. Listen/Buy here. Stay tuned for more Silver Anniversary news and announcements to come.

Amelia Curran
is a Juno-Award winning songwriter, activist, and mental health advocate from St. John’s, NL. Her music is distinguished by her intricate and evocative lyrics – no wonder she has been compared to Leonard Cohen. The first of her eight recordings was released in 2000 and grew out of her experience busking on the streets of St. John’s. Her most recent recording, Watershed (2017), lives up to its name and marks a directional change in her music. The tone of this new album is openness and reveals her increasingly public efforts to battle the stigma of mental health issues in the arts. As a whole, the album calls for compassion and unification as a breakwater against the sea of cruelties we inflict upon each other and upon ourselves. Two cuts from Watershed, “Gravity” and “No More Quiet,” are receiving much airplay and show the strength of her songwriting. Amelia’s previous Festival appearance was in 2014.

This album contains no booklet.
