My chat with musician and songwriter Jack Garton feels like riding the waves of his music. A well-lived life that intertwines Jack’s craft as musician and songwriter with a conscious choice to live a life rich in harmony with all that is good in life. A delightful conversation that I am looking forward to following up with a chance to hear Jack live at The Thirsty Goose on Friday, September 14th, 2018 8-11 pm.

More about Jack….”Steeped in the solitude of the mountains and islands of the Pacific Northwest, raised in the boisterous and irreverent East Vancouver arts community, Jack Garton’s music is a dance party for the vulnerable at heart. In the lineage of Weird and Wonderful Canadian songwriters Leonard Cohen, k.d.Lang, Corb Lund and Geoff Berner, Garton’s songs alchemize brokenness and pride, and celebrate the sheer “absurd difficulty of being alive” (Geoff Berner) with wit and grace. Over the last ten years while touring Canada, the USA and Europe, Garton has developed a distinctive voice on the accordion, mixing cajun, european and country styles with ease into an exciting roots music feast. Whether backed by his powerful band the Demon Squadron or solo, armed with an accordion and trumpet, his shows are theatrical, fluid, confessional, and fun. They reflect a lifetime of devotion to the art of live music as well as an impressive breadth of life experience including his roles as a father and husband, local gravedigger, theatre artist and music teacher.” – Taken from Jack’s website – www.jackgarton.com
