I'm actually amazed at how 'not tired' I was by day 4 of Canadian Music Week or Fest or whatever. It's not that I'm not tired, it's just that I was expecting myself to be twice as tired as I actually felt on Saturday night. Still, I avoided venue hopping and had decided to just simply get my twang on at Lee's Palace for the night. The lineup looked solid, featuring some of the more folk and country oriented acts in the city. It looked like it was going to be a chilled and laid back evening. Turns [...]
elliottbrood.ca So it's Canadian Musicfest week! You all set for three days of club-hopping around a still sorta wintry Toronto? Got your wristband? No? Well. That could be a problem if you intended on hitting up Lee's Palace on Saturday night for the rather splendid Billions showcase featuring Cuff The Duke , Elliott Brood , Basia Bulat , Herman Dune and Jon-Rae Fletcher since that show is wristband-only. Or is it? Maybe not! Because courtesy of Billions, I've [...]
myspace || label We only have so many legs to stand on; family, friends, the people we love and the city we call home. For Jon-Rae Fletcher , over the last year couple of years he has seen most of those pillars crumble and to top it off, his band broke up. On the surface, that might seem as cliché as a beaten down hero losing his dog in the divorce, but you forget that just because musicians create art doesn't mean their words are scripted. After the dust settled, [...]
Jon-Rae Fletcher is a Canadian singer-songwriter who grew up in Kelowna, British Columbia. Born the son of a preacher, Jon-Rae sang in his church's choir by day and fell in love with the music of Kurt Cobain at night. Combining his passion for the sounds of country, gospel, rock, and soul, Jon-Rae Fletcher created a unique blend of music, which at times is minimal and soul bearing, and at other times a full-blown-rock-throw-down. Stunning crowds with his resonating country voice, Jon-Rae's cathartic, soul-stirring live show has helped build an ever growing following. Jon-Rae has recorded and released a number [...]
Okay, this is an enjoyable folk song, but it's really the trombone that won me over. Caveat: There's some naughty language in this one. Jon-Rae Fletcher "My Hands" (mp3) from "Oh Maria" (Weewerk) More On This Album -- Luciana Lopez;...
by John Holmes (a new contributor to the blog. -ed. ) After the 2006 release of Knows What You Need with rabble-rousing backing band The River, things started to go downhill very quickly for Jon-Rae Fletcher . That record was a no-holds-barred celebration of sex, alcohol and living the high life; but after touring heavily to support it, his excesses started to catch up with him. Heavily in debt and struggling with alcohol and cocaine addiction, Fletcher simply disappeared from his Toronto home and its surrounding music scene, surfacing [...]
