An inspired tribute to musical connection and Grateful Dead spirit, co-written with Robbie Roth and recorded in Toronto
TORONTO, ON — August 1, 2025 — Folk-pop singer-songwriter Alex Krawczyk returns with an evocative new single, “Love Through Sound,” releasing August 1st—a date beloved by Deadheads everywhere as Jerry Garcia’s birthday. Co-written with longtime collaborator Robbie Roth and produced at Toronto’s Union Sound, the track is a heartfelt ode to unity, peace, and the transcendent power of music.
Woven with subtle nods to Grateful Dead lore—“Casey Jones,” “Cumberland mine,” “Uncle Sam’s blues”—“Love Through Sound” blends folk, Americana, and classic rock textures into a richly poetic journey that honours the healing spirit of Garcia’s legacy.
“This song was written as a thank you song to the Grateful Dead for the inspiration they have shared with us for six decades now, including many iterations of the band since Jerry’s passing” says Krawczyk. “I am grateful to all of the band members for the wisdom and healing in their soulful melodies and rhythms, and for the love-filled community they have fostered, showing that music can reach across divides to foster unity and peace.”
“Love Through Sound” showcases an impressive lineup of Canadian and international talent:
Alex Krawczyk – Lead Vocals
Robbie Roth – Background Vocals, Lead & Acoustic Guitar, Producer
Tim Bovaconti & Caroline Marie Brooks – Electric Guitar
Devon Henderson – Bass Guitar
Davide DiRenzo – Drums & Percussion
Robbie Grunwald – Piano & Keyboards
Recorded at Union Sound in Toronto and engineered by Chris Stringer, with mastering by Joao Carvalho, the track’s warm, organic instrumentation underscores lyrics steeped in imagery and devotion. The repeated refrain—“Love through sound”—acts as both mantra and mission, offering a message of hope in turbulent times.
Krawczyk, a Canadian Folk Music Awards nominee, continues to build a reputation for her deeply felt songwriting and lyrical compassion. With prior singles like “Better Days” and “Rhythm of the Road,” she’s crafted a sonic identity rooted in optimism, reflection, and the simple power of storytelling. http://www.facebook.com/alexkrawczykofficial
