FIRST SINGLE "GAMBLER" OUT NOW
STREAM/SHARE HERE
Acclaimed BC folk-roots duo The Eisenhauers are proud to announce their long-awaited new album, Back Burner, set for release on September 12th, 2025. Today, they offer a first glimpse of what’s to come with the release of the evocative lead single, “Gambler,” available now on all major streaming platforms via Black Hen Music.
Produced by Steve Dawson (Matt Anderson, Birds of Chicago), “Gambler” was written by Sheree Eisenhauer during a tough season in her marriage with bandmate/husband Jeremy – about risking everything for love. Recorded live at Vancouver’s Warehouse Studio with a full band who hadn’t heard the songs before, it captures raw, one-take energy and features backing vocals by Vancouver singer-songwriter Jill Barber.
“Writing 'Gambler' was like holding up a mirror to everything I was afraid to admit,” says Sheree. “It came from a place of real vulnerability – the kind you don’t always want to share, even with yourself. Recording it live, with musicians who were hearing it for the first time, gave it this unfiltered urgency that matched exactly how it felt to write it. It was terrifying and cathartic all at once.”
Based in Kimberley, BC, The Eisenhauers are an award-winning folk-roots duo known for their introspective lyrics, close-knit harmonies, and intimate performances. Their past releases have received national airplay, critical acclaim, and resonated deeply with audiences seeking authenticity in music.
Back Burner marks a powerful return for Jeremy and Sheree Eisenhauer and is their first release since their 2017 debut album The Road We Once Knew. Rooted in the personal and reflective storytelling the duo is known for, the new album dives deep into themes of resilience, reinvention, and the quiet strength found in letting go. Perhaps no song summarizes the tone and message of the record as much as the first single, "Gambler." The lyrics lay out simple truths, like the inevitable dark days of any relationship and that love is inherently a gamble, free from guarantees, regardless of marriage covenants or a house full of children. Yet, despite this uncertainty, the message is clear: The Eisenhauers have made the decision to go all in on love and music one more time.
"Gambler" is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. The Eisenhauers will support the album release with tour dates this fall, to be announced soon. For more information, please visit theeisenhauers.com.
