-- Bio --
There is a drive and simple sincerity behind the sculpted sonics of Jake Chisholm's songs. His guitar's plaintive response to his deep voice carries a haunting sound, Rock 'n Roll with a heartbeat and some deep roots. Although the stories aren't radically different from anything else we've ever heard, they are invitingly human, uniquely his.
His most recent recording was produced by Jake and engineered by Jameson Elliott, bringing a combination of creative songwriting, passionate image inducing content, and youthful energy that infuses his music with intensity and honesty.
Jake had an excellent start in his music career. He had peer support, formal education and played with some of Toronto's most seasoned musicians. In the mid 90's Jake formed The Blue Midnights, who quickly became a popular draw in the live clubs and festivals. The bands' long running residence on the Queen Street bar circuit in Toronto helped establish Jake as a dynamic and well-respected vocalist/guitar player. This lead to a busy sideman career backing many Toronto-based arts such as Julian Fauth, Raoul banasia (Raoul & the Big Time), The Ledendary Miles Johnson, Laura Repo, Shrimp Daddy, Adam Faux, Dr. Nick & the Roller Coasters and Erika Werry, among others. His experience brings a galvanized musical character and direct passion. A few years ago, he started focussing on songwriting and is actively gaining a strong creative reputation.
Songwriters are among those who have the courage to be themselves, speak the truth about their experiences, no matter who's listening. They always play and sing from the place in themselves where musical expression moves any listener. Jake Chisholm's music is brimming with this tradition.
