New Album is coming along nicely! Currently being mastered... CD release party date to be posted very very soon. 'Late Nights & Candle Wax Art' seems to be the name that is sticking. The album will have 10 tunes, 9 originals and 1 cover. The cover is an acoustic version of The Hold Steady's 'You can make him like you', you can find a live version of the original tune here.

Due to a few technical difficulties, the CD release have been postponed. I will post up the new dates as soon as I have them, it is looking like early June... exciting. 


Other exiting news! Check the Gallery section for a new video of a tune off the new album called 'Holy Sting', live on the side of a mountain overlooking Canmore, Alberta. It was a spur of the moment sort of thing, turned out kind of neat. Big thanks to Matt Smith & James Fullen for making that happen!

Thanks to everyone who came out to a packed house at Communitea in Canmore! Was a great show. It was also recorded, and I will be throwing some tracks from that evening up here at some point.

I'm back in the Studio these days recording my new album, in Victoria at 1 Ton Studios. 3 Tracks down. I'm thinking a tentative release date could be mid March or so? 

Cover art on the CD will be created by the talented Natasha Lawyer.

Happy New Year!

Back from some European backpacking fun! It was a great time, over July and August we wandered through the UK, Ireland, France, Switzerland & Italy. Unfortunately I did not lug around a guitar with me, but I made do where I could. Played a show in Oxford on the 26th og August, and had a blast visiting the Feakle Music Festival in Ireland as well. But perhaps the highlight was watching Radiohead and Sigus Ros at the Main Square Festival in Arras, France... what a show. In other news (and there is much because I am apparently not excellent at updating this page...) I have relocated to Victoria, BC! I will posting shows shortly, so keep an eye out you Victorians. 

Also, for a demo of a new song "Build Me Up" check my MySpace page (linked at the bottom right corner). 

More to come soon...

I have temporarily relocated to Quebec! I'm living in Montreal for the next few months to enjoy the music scene here.  So far I've been out every night to soak it in. Friday was jazz, and Saturday was blues. I'll keep the site updated with any and every eastern show that I find! Also, I will be back in Calgary over  Christmas and playing at the Ironwood on December 30th. Squeeze in one last show before 2008.

Well, apparently its the New Year! Not bad. I've recently moved into a new apartment in Calgary, and the creative juices (so to speak) have begun to flow. I will be putting up scratch recordings of new songs on the site shortly. Also, I've finally finished university... I am now a U of Calgary 'Alumi' will a B.A. in Religious Studies. Pretty cool.


The recording for the CD is back in full action... in fact, the first songs on the album will be up on the website and the myspace page (myspace.com/JamieCarrick) by this Saturday... not something to be missed I dont think...

Well, Happy New Year
