Groove/jazz/folk trio make the sound of a patch of sun falling on an easy chair

Bio: Fit to groove through the bounds of all parameters, Jessica Stuart embodies the essence of pop and jazz, creating a dynamic sound, merging outstanding creativity with traditional roots. With a national tour behind her and a lifetime of musical inspiration, Jessica's unique cultural experiences and coast-to-coast response marks her influence as a Canadian artist with a sound of her own.

Raised in Vancouver by musical parents, Jessica spent time exploring a number of the world's continents, most significantly living in Nagano, Japan. It was there that she took interest and learned to play the ‘koto' (A traditional Japanese harp-like instrument with thirteen strings), which is featured in a number of the compositions on her forthcoming album.

With innovative and catchy songs, The Jessica Stuart Few consists of Jessica (vocals, guitar, koto), Dan Fortin (bass) and Nico Dann (drums), bringing their signature blend to life with a creative, alluring and soulful sound. Together since 2007, they channel the modern sounds of Stereolab with allusion to the energy of Joni Mitchell, creating an array of enchanting melodies that become their own.

Excitedly, The Few are in the studio recording the organically evolved album ‘Kid Dream', produced by Mischa Chillak, well known for his hip hop productions/remixes for Notes To Self (BBE Records), Sweatshop Union, K-OS, and a number of indie film scores. With Mischa's urban influence, and Jessica Stuart's folk/jazz sensibility, they have created an epic pop experiment that brought the band to new heights.

Cohesive and full of melodic prowess, The Jessica Stuart Few continues to tap the senses of obscurity and tradition while referencing the roots of jazz with a soulful and funky twist.
