Land Heart Song is weaving childhood wonder into musical fun for the whole family on her new song "Green Leaf," available everywhere now. This new track follows her first single, "Thank You, Tree," which was released May 12th, and her full album Songs for Tree will be released on October 27th.

Check out "Green Leaf" on Spotify here:

Land Heart Song is Tiiu Strutt (she/her), a first-generation Canadian with Estonian and British Heritage living in Williams Treaty Territory in the small town of Mount Albert, Ontario. Since 2003, she has released four albums, toured nationally, and received recognition on national and college radio, including CBC Radio's "Canada Live" program. Under her "Land Heart Song" moniker, Strutt brings ten years of experience as an elementary school teacher, which informs her work in creating meaningful musical workshops for families often in collaboration with organizations like Natural Curiosity.

"Green Leaf" is the song that catalyzed Strutt's journey to create the full Songs for Tree album, a collection of ten songs that follows a child’s relationship with a tree over the four seasons. The song came to her during a walk with her 2-year-old and newborn on a crisp autumn day, as her son playfully kicked colorful leaves. This simple moment sparked a whimsical wondering in her-- “Red Leaf, where’s Mr. Green?!” This moment led to the spontaneous creation of the melody and lyrics, uncovering her talent for perceiving the world through a child's eyes and infusing it into song.

Created during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, "Green Leaf" also marked the initial collaboration between Strutt and producer Joel Schwartz. Despite working in isolation, they exchanged musical ideas and tracks, with Strutt converting her bedroom closet into an improvised recording studio for scratch tracks and final vocals.

Strutt is passionate about understanding the lived experiences of all beings sharing the land with her, and seeks to recognize the connection between social justice and climate change in her work. She writes regularly about her learning journey on her blog where she shares ideas, lyrics, and chords to help others connect with the power of music.

Land Heart Song is on a mission to help nurture love for the land through song, and her music is perfect to help celebrate the changing of the seasons with the young (and young at heart!) in our lives. Don't miss "Green Leaf" and Songs for Tree.
