New James Clark Jones CD: the days of convenience

Oakville singer/songwriter James Clark Jones has created a multi-genre gem with the days of convenience, his latest CD.

The disc kicks off with a beautiful potry reading and then travels through jazz, blues, folk, celtic music and many other sonic territories.  No matter where the songs lead, they're all reinforced with great songwriting and storytelling.  Highlights include the bluesy/jazzy Cool, the power of Rising Young Man, and the sweet melancholy of Whisky.

James has put together a great team for this album.  Talented area musicians such as Mike Branton, Sarah Beatty, Rob Reed, and others add to this superb mix of tunes.

Unfortunetly, the CD was sold out.  You can download the album through his bandcamp page or purchase at iTunes

New Rob Reed and James Anthony CD: Merry Christmas

Talented Burlington musicians Rob Reed and James Anthony have teamed up to create a wonderful Holiday CD entitled Merry Christmas: Festive Holiday Selections from the Heart.

Rob handles the vocals for most of the traditional tunes such as Do You Hear What I Hear, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, White Christmas and more. James sings mainly his incredible, original yuletide compositions like She Ran Off With Santa Claus, To Be With You, Don't Leave Me Alone A Christmas, and others.

So whether you're looking for a slow, soft, seasonal song or an upbeat, rocking holiday tune, this one has it all.

Rob and James, who also play keyboards and lead guitar respectively, are joined by Peter Griffin on drums and Garth Vogan on Bass.

This was truly a labour of love for everyone. "We went into the studio and played these tunes straight from the heart just for you." it says in the liner notes, "Live off the floor - to your ears. It's 4 guys, their instruments, a couple of vocalists and a lot of soul. It's our Christmas gift of song to you!"

The CD is available at their shows.
