celticwolfsun Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 www.nufunk.ca presents... Friday, August 3rd, 2007 THE JIMMY SWIFT BAND with Alun Piggins THE HORESHOE TAVERN The Jimmy Swift Band to embark on national tour in support of new album, Weight of the World (Halifax, NS) – The Jimmy Swift Band (JSB) will be embarking on a national tour this summer in support of new album, Weight of the World. Returning to Calgary after their sold-out show at Verns this past Winter, The Jimmy Swift Band are poised to take the west coast by storm with their highly anticipated return this July. Based in Halifax , NS , JSB consists of Craig Mercer (guitar, vocals, and effects), Aaron Collier (keyboards and effects), Mike MacDougall (bass), and Nick Wombolt (drums). The group's third studio album Weight of the World (Below Me Music 2006), distributed nationally by Outside Music, sees the band push their sound in a more rock based direction. A video for the album's first single, "Turnaround, " will be released in early December. Half of JSB's repertoire consists of organic instrumental material, while the other half displays mature songwriting, powerful vocals, and memorable melodies within the framework of concise arrangements. With influences that range from Daft Punk to Guns N' Roses, they meld a vast array of sonic stylings together to create a truly original sound. For the past six years, JSB has been forging a unique path in the Canadian music scene. During this time their energetic and improvisational live show has helped them develop a cult-like following. They play an average of 150 shows per year in clubs and at festivals across North America, including the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival, the Evolve Festival, and the Shoreline Festival in Canada and moe.down and the Haymaker Festival in the US.
