The Bonfire Ball Revue Tour featuring Jason Collett, Zeus and Bahamas will be performing together and alone during one nightlong set of incredible music. The three acts have a long history of collaboration, as intertwined as their musical lineage. Instead of the typical show in which each act plays its own set, Collett, Zeus and Bahamas will all take the stage together, playing songs by all three. At times you will find Collett strumming softly on the guitar alone; Zeus pounding out their rich pop numbers; or Bahamas melting the rocks in your glass; then find them all back together again in full force. The energy, the creativity, the inherent knowledge each musician brings to the stage, of their fellow musician, will make for a unique and exciting night, each and every night along the tour. The Bonfire Ball kicks off in March at Canadian Music Week in Toronto, then heads to Mexico City, followed by SXSW in Austin. The tour continues west through San Francisco and Seattle across Canada and the U.S. midwest, wrapping with two nights in New York late April.
Jason Collett will see the release of his fourth full-length, Rat A Tat Tat, March 9 on Arts & Crafts. Produced by Mike O’Brien and Carlin Nicholson of Zeus, Collett began writing the record in rural Ontario last summer. A bevy of musical guests would contribute in the studio - part of often live and improved sessions - including Afie Jurvanen aka Bahamas. Collett has emerged the past few years at the center of a new music/art movement in Toronto and this album feels more fresh then anything he has done before because of it.
Check out an upcoming interview with Jason in the coming week! We're looking forward to it.
