SCM chat with Jon Kirby Aug 29 2024
Kirby sits on a Muskoka chair by the Sydney Harbour in Nova Scotia and fills us in on the life of a singer songwriter on a cruise ship. We find out how he manages time to create and record; who helps him in this venture and how much time he actually has in furthering his career.
BIO
" Cascading soundscapes blended with acoustic guitars, poppy vocals and synthy undertones. Kirby's second solo departure, the self titled "Kirby" welcomes a full sound that is anything but lonesome. Fronting Burlington, Ontario prog-rock band ‘First Time Fallen’ for several years, Kirby released his first solo EP “Within These Walls” in 2007 before taking the figurative plunge with his next EP “The Good Fight”, in 2008.
Hitting the road for the first many solo tours across Canada and Europe as well as performances in Australia and the US, whether solo or with a band, Kirby displays his true passion, belting out emotional lyrics right from the bottom of his heart, coupled with the diversity of both a driving rock strum style and quiet thoughtful picking on the guitar."
