Advance Tickets in CA = free EP
It’s simple math!
Seriously though, if you get advance tickets for any of the shows in San Diego, Los Angeles, Ventura, San Francisco or Hermosa Beach, I will give you my new EP, ‘of the woods’, 100% free.
Here’s how: once you have purchased the ticket, simply send your ticket confirmation in a message to my facebook fanpage (www.facebook.com/jaynashmusic), I will reply with a free download code for the EP.
Yay? Yay!

West Coast, East Coast, New EP
Here’s hoping that the sun is shining on you you, wherever you are. I just got through 3 rain-drenched (yet, wonderful) weeks of shows in Europe and came home to another soggy week in New England. Finally, the skies have cleared and it feels like anything is possible.
I have a lot to announce.
NEW MUSIC - THE ‘OF THE WOODS’ EP:
If you’ve been following the story at home, you know that I spent most of the winter, hunkered down at home in Vermont writing and recording new music. I am excited to announce the release of the first four songs from this new collection. I played and recorded everything myself and then sent the sessions on to producer Bill Lefler (Cary Brothers, Laura Jansen, Ingrid Michaelson & more) in Los Angeles. He mixed the tracks and added some very cool sounds to create what I think is a new and beautiful vibe for the songs.
The EP will be available on iTunes on Tuesday, May 8th. The deluxe package also includes my original demos of the four songs along with a 10 page lyric and photo booklet…all for the price of a latte - $3.99!!

Boston, NYC, Philly and Rock for the River 8
Greetings from from the land of cold, rain and fog that is England,
I originally wrote this little post wedged between Madi Diaz and the side door of the tour van as we rocket down the highway at 150 km/h. (Madi’s new record, ‘Plastic Moon’ is incredible, by the way. Get it, get it now!) Garrison and I just played the first of seven shows in a row in Germany, followed by Liverpool and Leeds. Tonight, we finally get a minute to rest.

Europe in April, CA, VT & Montreal in May…and other things
Hi.
The power is out. 1600 or so without power in the Upper Valley of Vermont. So I’ve made a rare trip into town to post up at the local coffee shop and write this note to you. It’s actually kind of nice to get out of the house. That’s the only thing about making records at home…you never leave…
I’ve got some new music coming your way in May. On May 8th, my new EP, ‘Of The Woods’ will be available on iTunes. This is the first four songs from the big batch of tunes that I wrote this past winter. I recorded and played everything myself, finished up last week and sent the tunes off to producer/mad scientist, Bill Lefler to mix and sprinkle with cosmic magic.
It’s been a busy week in the woods for me. As it turns out, I am a record producer. I’ve been pulling 16 hour days in my studio up in the attic for the last two weeks working on the debut EP for a new band out of Montreal called, ‘Sweet Talking Liars’. Yes, that’s correct. ‘Sweet Talking Liars’. They reached out to me about producing them last fall and after hearing their songs (and their name) I enthusiastically jumped on board. I couldn’t be more excited and proud of result of our collective efforts. Stay tuned.
EUROPE!
So now that I have finished up the winter recording projects, it’s time to tour!! Garrison Starr and I head to Amsterdam tomorrow to kick off our three week tour in Holland, Germany and England. Get you tickets and help us spread the word!

Feb 8 at SPACE / Europe with Garrison Starr
Hello, old friend.
I’m late to say it, but I’ll say it anyway…Happy New Year.
Since you heard from me last, I have been hibernating. Writing songs, recording them, learning to play drums, learning to play mandolin and guitar again and rarely leaving my house. There are a lot of new songs but I still feel as though there are many more to write. It had been a long while since I sat to down to write prior to this creative incubation, so there’s a lot of ground to cover.
I can’t wait to share the new music with you…soon!
So - the tour schedule in the US will be lighter than usual until I have a new record to share with you, but there will be a few college and club dates scattered throughout the late winter and early spring. I hope to see as many of you as possible at those shows and a ‘full-on’ national campaign in the late summer and early fall.
US CLUB DATES:
Wednesday - 2/8/12 - Evanston, IL - SPACE - TICKETS
Wednesday - 3/14/12 - Lawrence, KS - The Bottleneck - Tickets (COMING Soon!)

‘all the stars in copenhagen - EP’ (2009)
After two days of successful recording at Copenhagen’s Medley Studios, Frederik Bokkenheuser and I were closing out a night of celebratory drinking in the city center. It was late November. Copenhagen is a land of clouds and fog in late November. Still though, as we exited the pub that night, we looked up and directly above us, there was a tiny gap in the cloud bank, and a single, dim star shone down upon us. I pointed the star out to Frederik, and like the Great Dane that he is, he replied, ‘Oh yes, this is all the stars in copenhagen’.
‘That’s genius’, I said.
In 2008, my record, ‘The Things You Think You Need’ came out. It was a dream to make that record and an exciting time releasing it to the world and suddenly finding myself with a much larger audience. For six weeks that fall, I toured all over the US, opening for Justin Nozuka and the Gabe Dixon Band. My main musical compatriot for that tour was the ‘Great Dane’, Frederik Bokkenheuser. After six weeks on a tour bus in America, my schedule would take us to Germany, Sweden and Frederik’s homeland of Copenhagen, Denmark. By the time we got there, we were gristly beasts of the road.
Frederik is a brilliant drummer and one of the most enthusiastic consumers of drink that you will ever meet. He is also as dialed into the Copenhagen music scene as the king of Denmark. And so it was, that Frederik not only managed to line up an all star band to record on our two days off, he also managed to line up the finest recording studio in all of Denmark - Medley Studios.
We tracked four songs live. With very few exceptions, the vocals on the final version of the EP are the ones that were recorded live in Copenhagen at Medley. Soren Andersen played guitar and simultaneously engineered and recorded the session, Jesper Edvardsen played bass, Freddy of course played drums and the mighty Lars played keys. At one point, I was having a bit of a hard time conveying to Lars exactly what I was needing to hear on the track, and then I mentioned Garth Hudson from the Band. I didn’t have to say another word, he blew the next take out of the water - see the bridge of the ‘Rainiest September’ for reference. It’s basically a duel between both his Hammond B3 organ and his piano.
After my time in Copenhagen, I went on to Berlin where I stayed with songwriter/producer Erik Penny. In his home studio, he had some cool guitars and synths, so we cracked open the pro-tools sessions from Copenhagen and I added the electric guitar part on Rainiest September with his 1960 Gibson ES-330 and Erik added the spooky synth sound weirdness that can be heard on ‘everything’.
The bonus track on ‘All The Stars In Copenhagen’ is the song ‘Baby Tornado’, taken from the session that Garrison Starr and I recorded in March at Sun Studio in Memphis, TN. I felt as though, along with the four tracks from Copenhagen, this track rounded out a nice musical snapshot of my 2008 adventures.
