Song of the Week - Gentleman Reg

Album: Little Buildings (2008) / Darby & Joan (2004)


It’s always nice to see homegrown talent and Reg Vernue (aka. Gentlemen Reg) has been deserving credit for a long time now. As a member of Arts & Crafts (a label featuring other big artists such as Stars, Broken Social Scene, and Feist) our fine gentleman has most recently released his latest album Jet Black in 2009 and been on tour for most of 2010. He is a regular performer in Toronto, especially at The Drake Underground, and occasionally spotted on his bicycle downtown.

The Boyfriend Song is from his 2008 release Little Buildings with Arts & Crafts, though the song was originally from his previous album Darby & Joan (2004) with the now defunct Three Gut Records. The song is very catchy and fun-loving, and most importantly, doesn’t insist upon itself. It’s a great song. Be sure to check out his entire discography.
