The Jessica Stuart Few Show Takes On Australia
If you have never witnessed a Japanese 13-stringed harp in action, then let Canada’s award winning “Koto-toting Folk/Jazz power trio” THE JESSICA STUART FEW show you how it’s done.
The Jessica Stuart Few has captivated live audiences around the world with their quirky mélange of folk, jazz, rock & soul. The trio’s dynamic live performances has seen them grace the main stages of Festivals in Canada, Japan, Germany & USA, and perform alongside the likes of Jamie Cullum, Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Bruce Cockburn and members of The Barenaked Ladies among others.
A consummate guitarist, Jessica Stuart also amazes as she weaves her magic over her 13-stringed harp (Koto). With her pitch perfect vocals (often compared to Joni Mitchell) & storytelling, backed up by double bass & drums, it’s easy to see why The JS Few resonate with critics & music lovers alike.
Following their tour through Australia, Japan & China in 2015, The Jessica Stuart Few hit the studio to record their third album, The Passage. An impressive follow-up to the critically acclaimed trio’s previous award winning releases: Kid Dream (2010), Two Sides To Every Story (2014 ‘Best Album’ Award – International Music Awards) and Japanese Top 40 single, Don’t Ya, The Passage looks set to put The JS Few back on the map once more.
Spellbinding from the first listen, The Passage features the infectious singles Easier Said Than Done, the Stereolab feel of Lost Friends & charming slow burner The Letter, as well as a couple of tracks directly inspired by her travels last year in Australia, One Day and Passage, both written based on birdsongs from NSW.
