Canadian Idol runner-up Sokyrka to release debut CD next month
TORONTO (CP) – Canadian Idol runner-up Theresa Sokyrka is set to release her first album next month.
Sokyrka, the bespectacled Saskatoon songstress who placed second to Idol champ Kalan Porter, has signed a distribution deal with MapleNationWide to get her indie release in stores for April 26.
The CD, entitled These Old Charms, will include folk songs, jazz standards and some original compositions.
As runner-up Sokyrka has struggled to find an outlet for her music while Porter’s win gave him an automatic record contract with powerhouse label BMG, which recently merged with Sony Music.
Sokyrka’s new deal is hardly lucrative. She’ll be on the hook for advertising and promotion.
Sokyrka is currently touring Ontario, where she remains low key.
Sadly, she remains very, very over-exposed in her home province.
