Cresting into our favourite month of music, we have the end of September celebrated by doing absolutely nothing in particular concerning it! So, here’s a ton of music, with some energy that I dredged up somewhere in order to tell you what you’re listening to and where to find more about me. It’s been one long week, folks! Kick up your feet, lay back, and … actually, you should probably finish driving first.

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.

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.
Diana Dyck from Canada and Grant Foster from Florida combined talents to promote others. Dyck is an actress, voice over talent, poet, producer, and writer. Foster is an actor reflecting briefly on After School, plus an upcoming project called Crawley’s Tomb. Enjoy!

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.
