Can't Stop My Baby From Crying

I don't know what has got her down, but no matter how hard I try, I can't stop...... Foxsong Studio
A French Canadian singer/songwriter/musician, raised in Sault Ste Marie, who's travels from the Yukon to Labrador provide the basis for much of these country/alternative/folk/rock/roots perspectives. From the award winning Just Because to Pretty One, How Many More Days, Miner’s Son’s Lament, Fortune Teller Woman, That Train Song, Ain't Gonna Be So Easy This Time, Hats and Boots and Women and more, Jacques covers a range of simple, sensitive, sometimes humorous subjects, points of view, with words and music to paint the emotional backdrops.
Band/artist history
I always spent a lot of time playing covers until mid 90s when I really started writing. Encouraged by other songwriters, I began performing open stages and entered the studio in 2000 to produce a demo of 3 songs which got a lot praise and recognition. Now I have recorded / demo'd done over 30 songs with a number that are still in the woodshed.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Not anymore. Came to realize, some people are entertainers and some are just players and writers. Those late nights have a way of catching up with you too. Never really been comfortable on stage or in front of more people than you can fit living, Siting around the kitchen table and song circles is more my thing.
Your musical influences
Stan Rogers, Dylan, Blue Rodeo, Prine, Greg Brown, Guy Clark, Townes VanZandt, Willie P Bennette, Cattie Curtis, Lucinda Williams, Mary Gauthier, Allison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Justin Rutledge and all the great or unique folk/roots/country songwriters (old and new) with those distinctive voices and writing styles.
What equipment do you use?
I've owned many instruments including a 1990 Martin D35 guitar, 1980 Epiphone, L'Étude Classical. But now I'm settled and happy with my Canadian made Godin, Fairmount Concert and a Fishman Loudbox Mini. My favourite harmonicas are the Lee Oskars.
Anything else?
