Coming to Tucson after Bahamas’ My Second Last Album was nominated at the JUNO Awards for Best Adult Alternative Album of the Year, marking the tenth career nomination for the five-time JUNO-winning artist.
Afie Jurvanen’s seventh studio album as Bahamas arrived as the follow up to 2023’s country-inspired Bootcut. The record earned praise from Rolling Stone, which said of the album, “…the Canadian creative born Afie Jurvanen couldn’t be more genuine. Or as they love to say in country music, ‘authentic.’” No Depression added, “…one of the two or three best albums I’ve heard this year.”
In a 2025 interview with Exclaim! just before Jurvanen released My Second Last Album, the songwriter explained his perspective regarding the title. “I’ve been making music as Bahamas for 15-plus years, and I feel like I’ve had a good run. I’m just so flattered that anybody still cares about songs I wrote 10, 15 years ago.” He added, “I just feel like I’m getting towards the end of something. I don’t know what that is. I don’t know if it’s the end of Bahamas as a musical project or something, but it’s just a sort of a fun way to reference the things that are changing.”
