AYSANABEE STRIPS IT BACK ON UPCOMING TIMELINES EP + ANNOUNCES NEW ACOUSTIC TOUR DATES
ISHKŌDÉ RECORDS
Fresh off a plane from performing in Ireland, two-time JUNO Award-winning Oji-Cree artist Aysanabee (pronounced Ace-in-abbey) announces his forthcoming Timelines EP, out March 20th on Ishkōdé Records, and shares the new single “Dream Catcher (Timelines Acoustic).” The track is an acoustic version of the final song from his critically acclaimed 2025 album Edge of the Earth.
The Timelines EP features stripped-back, reimagined songs drawn from across Aysanabee’s three releases, Watin (2022), Here and Now EP (2023), and Edge of the Earth (2025), including “Nomads (Timelines Acoustic)” which he released on November 4, 2025, to mark the 3rd anniversary of his breakthrough debut LP Watin.
This recording approach reflects how many fans first discovered his music in the early days of his career, when he played hundreds of shows across Canada and around the world armed with only his guitar, his voice, and his stories. Now, fans will be able to connect with those memories whenever they want.
Following an epic, two-part, first-ever Canadian headlining tour in 2025, Aysanabee will hit the Ontario highway this April for a run of intimate acoustic performances in support of the Timelines EP. Tickets are on sale as of Jan 23.
“Dream Catcher (Timelines Acoustic),” the closing track of Edge of the Earth, is a sonic journal entry that captures the tension between doubt and determination. On top of guitar, piano, and synth lies Aysanabee’s unmistakably raw vocals, threading together reflections on growth, endurance, and the act of dreaming despite uncertainty.
Aysanabee took 2025 by storm, with performances around the world, from Australia and Taiwan to Norway (Riddu Riđđu) and Germany, in support of Edge of the Earth. The album is nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards: Indigenous Songwriter of the Year and Single of the Year for the title track, with the awards taking place this April in Calgary. Edge of the Earth also landed on RANGE’s Top 50 Albums, CBC Music’s Top 10 Albums of 2025, Roots Music Canada’s Critics’ Top 10, and wrapped up the year with two tracks, “Home” and “Gone Baby Gone,” charting at radio. This week, Aysanabee heads to New Orleans for Folk Alliance International.
