Bio
"Better than pancakes!" - Peggy Local yokel rising crust folk singer, whatever that means. Described as a "hootenanny" by mother - tends to get a bit loopy. You decide! The Mountains & The Trees are/is Jon Janes. He plays guitar, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, harmonica, bells, drums, and sings. He is often accompanied by the Valleys & Seas Orchestra featuring a collection of friends on a variety of instruments. The live show has grown to become a very intimate thing, involving a mixture of storytelling and songs that engage the audience on a personal level and leave them with a warmth in their heart and a smile on their face. Highlights *I Made This For You debuted at #1 on the earshot! folk/roots/blue national chart. *Up & Down and More & More & More charted at #3 and #4, respectively, in CBC Radio 3 charts *Goodbye Little Town used in an episode of "The Border" (CBC); More & More & More used in an episode of "Degrassi" (CTV). *Radio play from around the world including CBC, BBC, and NPR. Notable plays from Here & Now (CBC) and Bob Harris (BBC) *Has toured and supported many acts including Billy Bragg, Dan Mangan, and Horse Feathers, and played at major festivals such as NXNE, CMW, Halifax Pop Explosion, End of the Road, Camden Crawl, The Great Escape, Reeperbahn Festival, and Liverpool Soundcity. *Completed 3 successful UK/EU tours including shows in England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, the Netherlands, and Denmark. *Numerous coast-to-coast tours of Canada Selected Quotes "The Mountains & The Trees - the best singer-songwriter I have heard in Canada for a long while" - Grant Lawrence (CBC Radio 3) "If [Janes] keeps house anything like he makes music, then I'm certain he lives in a pristine and exquisitely arranged abode. [He'll] be in your head for a long time to come, though, on that I'd bet my bottom dollar.." - Jim Di Gioia, quickbeforeitmelts.com "Janes goes for subtlety over sizzle, but don't mistake his delicate picks and strums for uninspired or tired. Janes seems to prefer contrasting elements in a way that makes his songs stretch as far as your eye can see, but still remain as personal as the most hushed 4-track confession." - Bryan Acker, Herohill.com In addition to the above, The Mountains & The Trees has been mentioned in Paste, Exclaim!, and on No Depression. -
