Event Description

Jason Collett: Song and Dance Man - https://youtu.be/avWclsEO5Sc

“Song And Dance Man”, the title track from Jason Collett’s sixth full-­‐length album, finds the iconic singer-­‐songwriter back at centre stage,with three-­‐minutes-­‐and-­‐change and a story to sing. Featuring the bright production touch of Bahamas’ Afie Jurvanen, “Song And Dance Man” covers the trials and triumphs of the modern musician with poignant poetry: If you can tweet something brilliant, you got a marketing plan Song And Dance Man’s thirteen songs bear the wit and melody of classic Jason Collett: contemplative reflections on getting older, backed with an affinity for freewheeling 70s dance music. The album’s conspiring themes of love & loneliness, sun & shadows, are buoyed by its soaring sound. Each song rises into an easy,spacious groove, lead by Jason’s languid melodies and Afie’s sun-­‐drunk bass. “There’s a cool economy to Afie’s approach that lets the record breathe and allows it to say more with less, something I worked hard at hardly working at in writing strolling the songs,” says Collett. “Keeping a light touch, keeping it short.”Having spent the years since 2012’s Reckon finding himself further engaged in the growing success of his Basement Revue concert series –a cross-­‐pollinating musical & literary mash-­‐up of Canada’s premiere contemporary artists–the Toronto indie-­‐troubadour describes this record as a liberating process distilled in long stretch of domestic reverie.“I like writing songs and for the first time in my life I felt no rush to hustle them or myself out the door,” says Collett. “I let some dust settle, some weeds grow, puttered about at home...”The result is a dynamic addition to a strong body of work. Song And Dance Manmay be Jason Collett’sfinest effort yet –back in the spotlight, more comfortable than ever in the guise of entertainer:You got todo what you can when you’re a Song And Dance Man.Song And Dance Man was recorded in spring 2015 with long-­‐time collaborators drummer/engineer Don Kerr (at his Rooster Studio), Christine Bougie on guitar & lap steel, Zeus’ Neil Quinn on backing vocals, and Afie holding it down on the bass, sometimes two.
