BANDCAMP.
http://jessicamitchell.bandcamp.com/releases
the songs themselves are available to download for free, or you can name your price for both songs through the EP titled “Piano”. just my two most favorite songs i’ve written on the piano, and would love for you to have them.
this is a test run, just want to see how this whole thing works, so pass it along to your...
a couple weeks to go...
so in lieu of the holidays, here’s a gift for you.
the album is almost complete. next week we’ll finish guitars and keys, and then mix a little, then lay down the vocals.
i can’t express my anxiety with finishing this thing. it’ll be a year next month we’ve been working on it and frankly, i’m glad for that. merely because i know that it’s where i...

think back... →
think back to a time when you felt like you mattered.
when there was nothing but happiness in your life, and you felt like you could take on the fucking world with nothing but a smile on your face.
think back to when you knew that no matter the obstacle, something in you repeated the words, over and over, “YOU CAN DO THIS”. when the simple hug of a friend or a coworker, or a lover...

we biked to the beach for a chill porch party. this is what rolled in when we got here.

so we’re headed into the second half of the recording process.
leads were laid down on sunday by the great jimmy reid, slamming some ridiculous one take wonders on these rockin’ songs of mine. needless to say, i am happy as a pig in shit.
i’m leaving for vacation next week. going to unwind, relax, and have my zen time to myself for 7 days before coming back and starting up...

"PUT OUT THE FIRE"
caught in your headlights, yellow and gold
keeping my eyes closed ‘til warm turns to cold
brushing the snow off from under my feet
is it time to go now?
staring with wonder into your eyes
while we wait for morning when nothing seems right
but i’ll beg to differ ‘til i’m blue in the face
but then i know what you’ll say
honey it’s nothing we have not...
"MAKE IT SO"
it gets
STICKY
riding on your back waves
waiting for the light to change
but don’t let it wait too long
or you’ll wake up in the morning and it’ll be gone
all lies, all the time
lyin’ to myself to make it alright
and even though, it don’t show
i got a million reasons to make it so
break it off, keep it low
no point in cryin’ about what we already...
"STILL THE SAME"
break down
pull the little pieces
all together now, leave it alone
i should’ve known
should’ve known better
but we don’t always do what we’re told
you stood still
i crossed my heart
hoped to die
while you just smiled, kept it all locked up inside
you broke in
you cast your spells
held me down
without even trying
and i believed you could change
boy was i...

Studio Update!
Hey everyone! So I’m sitting in the studio today, tracking some bass with the super wicked Tom McKay. We’re working on a couple of doozies, one in particular being my fave called ‘Still the Same’ (can’t wait for you to hear this one). Wanted to update you on our progress since starting this in early December. We’re bringing in all sorts of people to play on...

some words for you....
so, here’s how it goes.
it’ll be six years next month for me living in toronto. i came here with such big intentions, dreams and ambition ready to get the gravy train rollin’ outta town, music in my heart and a skip in my step.
so what happened you ask?
i’ve posted so many times, so many things about breaks and pauses, life happening, break ups and family stuff. bad...

after almost 8 months of no shows, i am playing a show. it was impromptu yet perfect, and looking forward to sharing where it came from with you when it’s over.
ps, i’ve been lacking in the tumblr department, and i apologize to those who actually follow it. but i’m writing my record. finishing school. living chaotic house life. trying to separate the good from the bad and...

not sure how many people watch the show “breaking bad”. maybe there’s only a select few that do. but holy crap if you don’t, start. the complete and utter awesomeness that is this show will seriously make you wanna go UMH. drama times a trillion, suspense like a john grisham novel. sooooo good. sunday nights on AMC at 10pm. start from the beginning.

Last week in Los Angeles I participated in a live Q&A as part of an ASCAP expo on songwriting. When the topic of Twitter came up, I explained my waning interest in it being part of my daily life. By no means do I think it’s over as a medium altogether, but I do think that the days of “Twitter: The…
