Hi! I'm from Virginia & have been living for seven years in Belfast.
My:
-mom was a writer
-my dad played drums in an 80s metal band.
They were:
-New York implants in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I grew up listening to the echoes of music from neighbours' porches, yards and tent meetings.
At night:
-some neighbours used to stay up late playing fiddle, bass and banjo. (I'd drift into sleep with the music drifting in my window. Or up from the basement where my parents' band was practising.)
Besides singing up down the hills as a kid, I've played in numerous pubs, clubs & coffee shops in the US, France, the UK & Ireland.
I've supported:
Duke Special, Devon Sproule, Iain Archer, Declan O'Rourke, Juliet Turner, Eric Taylor, POD, The Believers, & Steve Forbert.
I'm also proud to say I teach voice and have worked with some incredible singers.

well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.
we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.
anyhoo, the FREE DOWNLOAD, and the FUN, begins at www.JAETCHISON.com
I look forward to getting to know you a little better, and I thank you SO VERY MUCH for your friendship and support!
please tell your friends about JAETCHISON.com, and ask them to sign up for the email list, too! FUN things are coming up!!
