Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

PATRICK BREALEY (http://patrickbrealey.com/): Shining a modern light on the roots of North American popular music, Patrick Brealey blends elements of folk, country, cabaret and blues to deliver lyrically driven songs with a uniquely powerful voice.
JOEL BATTLE (http://www.myspace.com/joel_battle): Joel’s songwriting grapples with spiritual brokenness in the city’s slums and details the loss of ideal love in the great and golden prairies. Born and raised in the Greater Vancouver area, Joel now calls Toronto home. However, he continues to receive great support from Shore 104.3 FM and CBC where his music is played extensively.
JESSE GRIFFITH (http://soundcloud.com/jessegriffith): Jesse Griffith is no stranger to the world of six strings (or ten). After first successfully touring the country with artists such as The Turnstiles, Stef Lang, and Leeroy Stagger, the closing months of 2011 find Jesse finishing up a long overdue solo record. Sure to appeal to fans of Wilco or Neil Young, the new CD is expected to be released this Christmas.
PATRICK JACOBSON (http://www.patrickjacobson.com): After years of performing, touring and recording as a bassist with bands such as The Top Drawers, The Luna Riot, Joel Battle, Danny Echo, and The Autumn Portrait, Patrick has come back around full-circle to where he started his professional career – singing his own songs and playing guitar. This time around, the former frontman of The Capitals is favoring his acoustic guitar and venturing out with some more personal and introspective songs.
