Bo Green & The New Jakes

As I rework the website and then get ready to release a series of tunes over the next year, I just want to say how excited I am to share all of the new stuff with everyone! 

Other than chipping away at my own record and performing, this year I have been doing a little what you might call pro bono mastering work. I had the great pleasure of mastering the latest record from Wichita Trip, one…

The daunting task of making a record started this past spring, and I have some guitar tracks and bass tracks staring me in the face. This month I hope to move things along somewhat, but this process is labour intensive…

Played a fun show with Ramblin’ Rose on Sunday night, they were awesome and are going in the right direction. It was fun to sing with Sue, and hear her play the saw. Next for me is a summer vacation…

Friday, May 1, my buddy Ezra and I saw Laura Repo @ The Local. Great show! Two sets, lots of fun, met some nice people. Her band was great, although the bass player had some cable problems early on. I…

Not My Dog -- a really nice little venue in Parkdale with an awesome vibe. Daniel, one of the managers there, gave us a helluva warm welcome. Ben Sures stopped by while we were eating dinner, and must have been…

Yawn Temiseva and I are teaming up for a show at Not My Dog (1510 Queen St. W.) on Saturday, February 9th. We are madly working on material, using the open mic at the Renaissance Cafe (Woodbine/Danforth) as a practice…

That's how busy my fall was. October 5th at the Savannah Room -- the Green Party -- was three months ago, and I'm just writing about it now. Anyway, it was a night to remember for the musicians involved, and…
