Jenn Grant and Jason Plumb & The Willing tour western Canada
05 Jan, 2010
The Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad and Foundation Concerts present Jenn Grant and Jason Plumb & The Willing this February in western Canada. As part of a cross-Canada tour, Jenn Grant and Jason Plumb & The Willing will be making their way through the Canadian Prairies stopping in Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Calgary. Jenn Grant is currently promoting her 2009 release Echoes (Six Shooter Records), while Jason Plumb and the Willing are promoting their latest effort Wide Open Music: Songs for Saskatchewan (SoccerMom Records).
From her debut record, Orchestra for the Moon, Jenn Grant's name has surfaced in four star reviews from Harp and The Globe and Mail, earned her several East Coast Music Awards nominations, and landed her on tours with the Great Lake Swimmers and The Weakerthans.
There are traces of Orchestra for the Moon in her latest offering, Echoes, elements that helped shape Jenn's sound into what it has become. Without the songs being old or feeling old, Echoes' analog heart reflects the art and the heart of Jenn herself, inciting a familiarity that connects the listener with the roots of music.
Jason Plumb is an exception in the world of contemporary pop music where "extended careers" and "timeless bodies of work" are not commonplace.
An artist of considerable depth, the Saskatchewan-based singer and songwriter, has over the course of the past twenty years delivered a impressive body of work that continues to present fresh and exciting chapters, as is the case with his new release Wide Open Music: Songs for Saskatchewan.
From hit singles and memorable album tracks with The Waltons, and to solo albums, soundtracks and theme songs, Plumb has consistently created music that has been embraced by Canadian audiences and acclaimed by the industry and his peers.
