Album Review: Jessie Brown – Keeping Appearances

Posted on by Posted in General, General Distortion, Music Reviews

 

 

The warm rasp of Jessie Brown’s dangerous blend of fuzzy rock is a soundwave grown from the roots of the best power singers in history. With the lungs of Janis Joplin and the range of Freddie Mercury, Brown has been captivating audiences, both big and small, filling the spaces that remain with her captivating and often psychedelic vibes. Her first full-length offering “Keeping Appearances” is a raw, transparent vendetta to remove all filters.

 

The album’s depth is incredible, with moving anthems such as “DEBT (We Ain’t Got No Money)” and “Voyeur” to the internally charged soul songs “That’s What Happens” and “Someone Else”. Over ten tracks Brown sifts through the rolodex of human emotions, handling some aggressively and others with gentle care. Her well-seasoned voice holds the listener’s hand step-by-step through every note, with every expression detailed through expert-level phrasing and top notch vocal control.

 

Providing the hallucinatory backdrop to the album is the trippy tones of bassist Jason Vautour and the rumble and swing of drummer Thomas Spence. The rhythm section uses licks and patterns blanketed in a glaze of pedal effects that brings their simplistic riffs to life, making them bigger than themselves while creating a comfortable pocket for the vocals to flourish. This is what gives the music it’s unorthodox flavour and the album it’s X-factor.

 

The most separatory element however, is the moments where the music sheds it’s amplified skin, leaving nothing but an example of the bands pure, unquestionable talent. The best example of this is the track “Regret”, where the music stops almost abruptly, leaving Brown and her bandmates to close out the final minute and a half a cappella, with no instrumentation apart from snapping fingers. Another is the albums final track “A Thank You”, where Brown sees her audience off with an uplifting solo ballad where she intimately connects with the music coming out of her keyboard.

 

You can hear the first full, public listen of Jessie Brown’s new album at her listening party at Good Robot Brewing in Halifax, Nova Scotia on September 28th. There will be a silent auction during this event as well with all proceeds going to The Adsum House.

 

Listen to the album digitally on September 29th here: https://jessiebrown.bandcamp.com/

 

Tour Dates:

Sept 28th – Listening Party at Good Robot Brewery (Halifax, NS) *Fundraiser for The Adsum House Halifax*

Oct 7th – Gobble Fest (Sydney, NS)

Oct 13th – La Vitrolla (Montreal, QC)

Another Night at the Harvest

Posted on by Posted in chsr, Rosie Morning, Rosie's Juke Joint

This evening, still riding the high from last night, we say goodbye to the 27th Harvest Jazz and Blues festival.  Two powerhouses of music, Steve Earle, and Colin James played to jam-packed venues in well above historical temperatures for our neck of the woods.

 

Steve Earle Shares his Message

Steve Earle hit the stage, and the crowd went wild before he uttered his first word. His face is as familiar as his style; patrons went in knowing what to expect and boy, did he deliver. The band shifted between instruments with the skill of buskers, started with all the usual band fare, and then tossed around a mandolin, violin, upright bass, harmonica, and maracas to shake things up – pun intended.

His music brings together elements of rock, country, gospel, and blues. His gruff voice and his tender impassioned lyrics, combine to take you to a simpler time, but a more complex message; a cautionary, yet somehow optimistic tale. Everyone wants to be a Rockstar, but it’s hard work. Steve Earle paid homage to the sacrifices of the greats in the title single of his new album, So, you Wanna be an Outlaw, and shared an energetic return to his roots with Harvest Jazz and Blues patrons; his special guests.

 

Colin James Just Came Back to Harvest

Opening for Colin James, Harvest Jazz and Blues goers experienced the National Reserve hailing from New York, NY. Singer and guitarist, Sean Walsh delivered a rich baritone vocal performance similar in cadence to Neil Diamond. With a full album in the works, the band exhibits the artistry of a hardworking, well-traveled group ready to take their vision to the next level.

Six-time Juno Award-winning, Saskatchewan born Colin James took the stage last night at the Moose Light Blues Tent. Fresh off his Blue Highways tour this Spring, Colin James has spent the summer making appearances at various festivals and fairs. It’s been two long years since his last sold-out show here at the Harvest Jazz and Blues festival, and audiences welcomed him back with open arms.

In the words of Howlin’ Wolf, “I just play blues for fun.” Colin James is one of those artists, born to sing the Blues. His performance Saturday night delivered a dichotomy; all the pain, struggle, and despair of the blues explored through a whimsical medium; the music has even the staunchest puritan hopping. With minimal effort, he won their confidence, and show-goers journeyed along with him for “the fun.”

 

Up-Close-And-Personal at Harvest Jazz and Blues

A scan through the crowds reveals patrons from tiny ear muffed babies, to one vivacious near-centurion owing her piece of the front row in the Cox and Palmer tent Friday night. There’s a little something there for everyone and no deviation from East coast charm. For the price of admission, even the largest venues at Harvest allow an up-close-and-personal experience with World Class entertainment of past, present and the rising star acts on the way.

The Lunchbox Interview: Keith Lyon (Oh No, It’s Friday)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

When we look back on our lives, sometimes it’s the oddest of patterns we remember…

My guest today is Keith Lyon, on the occasion of his third book for children, Oh No, It’s Friday! Keith has been making books for three years, both as a passion and to aid in treatment of his mental illness. His third book relates tales of his younger brother’s rambunctious years, getting up to no good regularly on Fridays.

Keith’s latest book will have a book launch on September 23 at the Faith Baptist Church New Maryland at 7:30pm. He’ll have copies of the latest book as well as the other two previous books, and a special deal to get all three.

A Night at the Harvest

Posted on by Posted in chsr, Rosie Morning, Rosie's Juke Joint

Every year, the Harvest gets bigger and better. The acts may change, but one thing remains the same – good old Eastcoast hospitality and a love for Jazz and Blues which was self evident during opening night of the 2017 Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival!

Earthbound delight with fusion at Free Festival Kickoff

Patrons who ventured out to the Free Festival Kickoff were treated to a fusion of folk, funk, blues, and rock deftly drawn from acoustic instruments, Earthbound, made their Moose Light Blues Tent Debut at the 2017 Harvest Jazz and Blues festival. The family-friendly event featured a mix of the band’s original songs and a skillful cover of Levon Helm’s, Ophelia. The clever mix of genres offers a little touch of home to everyone.

Earthbound, comprised of songwriter/guitarist Dwayne Doucette, drummer/percussionist Mike Humble, and bassist Bob Fitzgerald, are 2014 Harvest Jazz and Blues Galaxy Rising Star winners. Their inaugural EP, Lettuce Turnip the Beet, received three Music New Brunswick Awards nominations and an ECMA nomination. Their latest offering, Ditch Flowers, explores themes of growth and introspection from personal and social perspectives.

Nashville’s, Muddy Magnolias’ First Canadian Show

Nashville’s, Muddy Magnolias, commanded the stage in their inaugural Canadian show as opening act for headliner Matt Andersen. A chatty crowd in a packed venue was no match for the powerful vocals of Jessy Wilson and Kallie North. Wilson, raised on soul and R&B, effortlessly belted to the four corners of the room. Music emanated from every part of her being as she moved, mesmerized around the stage.  North, a self-taught guitarist, pierced the night with her Delta inspired, soulful voice. The duo shifted effortlessly from lead to harmony and back across the genres together.

Broken People, their debut album, represents a musical journey into what would be an existential crisis if the whole world weren’t already on this path together. The pair mixed a selection of music from their album with blues classics such as Sam Cooke’s Bring it on Home to me and Freddy King’s Going Down. But the highlight, bathed in a teal glow the songstresses delivered in true gospel, spiritual flair, Down by the Riverside.

 

Matt Andersen Headlines the Moose Light Blues Tent to a Sell Out Show                              

Matt Andersen took the stage at the Moose Light Blues Tent to a sellout crowd on the 15th Anniversary of his Harvest Jazz and Blues debut along with backing band the Bona Fide. He delivered a mixture of personal hits, including the third track, Honest Man, from his latest album of the same name. Andersen dismissed the band after the fifth number and delivered two intimate, heart-wrenching solos, accompanied by only his guitar.

Joined on stage by fellow solo blues artist Chris Colepaugh, and blues veteran, Rick Fines, the trio gave a thunderous show of soaring twin neck guitars in an extended session listeners hoped would never end. The guitarists were accompanied, in no small measure by Newfoundland native, Chris Kirby. Whose keyboarding style was creatively reminiscent of the Doors’ Ray Manzarek.

Regarding the Worldwide attention on Andersen due to the countless accolades and awards he’s earned, the Harvest Jazz and Blues site proclaims, “he’ll always be Our Matt.” No matter where in the world an NBer may be, they’ll have Matt’s powerhouse vocals to bring them on home.
