Details:
Hi there, and welcome. Here''s what I''m up to:
I live in Portland, I''ve played music since I was hit by a bolt of lightning in high school. That lightning was in the form of Hendrix, Crosby Stills & Nash, the Doors, Creedence...you know, what they call "classic rock" now. I''ve spent most of my life traveling the world with various modern dance companies, and run one now called BodyVox (https://www.tradebit.com). You might wonder what that has to do with music: well, I got to choreograph videos and stage shows for David Bowie, Sting, U2, John Fogerty, Soundgarden, Pat Metheny...and that was a hell of a lot of fun.
After writing my own songs for 20 years, in 1999 I decided to make an album. Realize the dream, if you will. I wrote and recorded "Throw Caution". I loved making it, and once you have the bug, man you''re hooked. When I had a new batch of songs, I hunkered down and made the second one. This is it.
With "Chasing Daylight", I decided to play all the guitars myself. Call it an attempt at greater integrity. I used the same rhythm section, because they''re the best in Portland, for my music. I wanted the album to be beautiful, and to be driving as well. I think it came out really beautifully. Listen to a clip or 2, or all of them, and see what you think for yourself. If you like it, buy it. What a concept! It''ll grow on you, I guarantee it.
By the way, you''ll notice I wrote this bio in first person. You know, I''m sick of these press releases and bios that are written in third person, as if some greater authority is telling you what you ought to think about The Band. They''re all written by the band anyway, so why don''t we just drop the veil and see the real Wizard of Oz at work here.
Hey...Enjoy!
Jamey
