Bo Green & The New Jakes

Well 2020 was fun, I recorded, mixed, released and promoted 6 tracks from June - December. It was a ton of work but very rewarding, as I received lots of fan feedback and engagement. My latest track is out now…

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…

In the second installment of our series of shows, Yawn Temiseva and I are appearing at Graffiti's Bar and Grill (170 Baldwin St.) on Saturday, April 26th at 9:00 pm. This time we are adding an electric set to our…

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…
