"Jordan T West was born is the serene town of Kelowna BC, about 4 hours
from Vancouver, and has had music in his veins from a young age. He is
an artist whose lyrics surround the rubbish of relationships, the truth
we so often manipulate , speaking of things you may have tried to
forget. Being played anywhere from coffee shops to international and
internet radio stations his vocals and songwriting are often compared
with the likes of Damien Rice and Dave Mathews mixed David Grey.
Blatant sounds and beautiful melodies combined into an eclectic
acoustic sound that will make you remember, even if you'd rather not.
With an honest appreciation for the tragic yet beautiful realities of
life, this artist will most definitely make you think, question and
occasionally cry, while he continues to smile. His music is Skimming
the folk scene from Vancouver to Winnipeg on two separate tours with
some pretty twangs and an overly anxious appreciation for artistic
truth. With clever timing and some ridiculously impressive vibrato,
West may force you to tell your friends, families and foes alike. He is
surprisingly rare with a true passion for sound, a love for love, and a
lack of the pretension of this time which some of us attempt to avoid.
His life appears elegantly through his lyrics, in all of the confusion,
beauty, distress and contemplation which comes along with it. At
performances he is often paired with piercing violin lines by Nicki
Wiebe as well as haunting vocals from Lindy Enns. His music is there.
Love, hate, admire or avoid, he will continue to sing. Jordan's hopeful
yet analytical view of love, his heart that skims the threatening loss
in life, and his fatalistic demeanor may attract or frighten you, or
quite possibly force your tired heart to begin to beat once again."
