JESSE D & JACQUIE B with MATT BLACKIE
Thursday February 9, 2012

EARLY SHOW!!
Doors: 6pm Show: 7pm SHARP

JESSE DEE & JACQUIE B
Currently based out of the idyllic gold-mining town of Wells, BC, former Edmontonians Jesse Dee & Jacquie B have been honing their craft relentlessly for the past 3 years. The songs on their newest release Our Ghosts Will Fill These Walls (summer 2011) are the result of a journey that continues to unfold. The trials of the road have matured their music along with their souls, and the small mountain hamlet tucked away in the hills of northern BC has shown them what a bit of quiet can do.
What started out as a duo, and in many cases still is, has blossomed into a full four piece. Writing their songs more and more with a band in mind, their latest endeavours have allowed Jesse Dee & Jacquie B to create two very distinctive kinds of music. On the one side, harder-hitting folk/rock with jazzy stops, builds and textured instrumentation reminiscent of Ryan Adams, The Band, and early Grateful Dead; on the other, sweet harmonies and delicate electric guitar in the vein of Luke Doucet and Ani Difranco. This juxtaposition of styles not only makes for an engaging live show, but also allows Jesse & Jacquie to fit into nearly every schedule and setting, whether it be a relaxing afternoon set, a collaborative workshop, or a late night floor shaking dance party.
With well over 100 shows per year since 2008, Jesse & Jacquie are decidedly one of Canada’s heaviest touring acts. They have 2 studio recordings in their holsters, A Cross Pollination Of Service Station Scrawl (2008) and Greenhouse (2009). The duo are in the midst of finishing their newest, full-length offering, Our Ghosts Will Fill These Walls, which is scheduled to be released this year. Our Ghosts is a culmination of the roads traveled and lessons learned over the past 3 years and promises to be their most comprehensive record to date.
The perfect festival act, whether as a duo, trio, or 4 piece, Jesse Dee & Jacquie B have the versatility, songcraft, and humble charm to leave an impression on any audience.
