BIO
If he were alive 100 years ago, Paul J McInnis would have been found strumming on a street corner, singing his songs about roads, girls, and small towns. His closest friends would have been pickers, singers, poets and painters. He would have enjoyed a simple life surrounded by the things he loved. Today, 100 years later, not much is different. If you look for him, Paul can be found strumming on a street corner in some small town, singing songs about roads, girls, and the things he loves. He may slip into his local pub on the way home for a pint with some old friends. It`s a simple life. Paul J McInnis’ music is his own. It is literate, joyful, melancholy, and timeless. He prefers to play in the moment; recording live off the floor with open mics and no overdubs. Mistakes happen, he’ll say, but so does magic. The resulting albums are collections of some of those magical mistakes, all written and arranged by Paul and performed beautifully with some of his closest friends on mandolin, harmonica, accordion, cello or whatever instrument is close by. It is what Paul believes music should be: simple and real.
To remind you of his music, here is the video clip of Paul’s last visit to Desboro Music Hall:

A little about the artists:
J.D. Crosstown is a Canadian Folk Singer who’s passion is in telling stories with his own words. Ones that captures the poignancy of a time and a place, of heartbreak, loss, hope, love, adventure and friendship.
Heavily inspired by the stories embedded in traditional folk, country, and blues songs, Crosstown has developed his own unique style that reflects all of these genres. From country waltzes to finger-styled blues, Crosstown always keeps people guessing on what he’ll play next.
Having many hopes and aspirations, Crosstown’s main concern is that his songs can give people a place to lean back on for a moment or two.
Jesse Corrigan:
That’s right, folks, if you’re looking for something simple, honest and pure, you’ve come to the right place. Jesse Corrigan is the real deal: no pretense, no posturing, no claims of transcendental artistry here. It’s just simply good music. Together with some of the hottest country players in southern Ontario, Corrigan puts on a show full of harmony-heavy heartbreak ballads, narrative filled songs of adventure, and telecaster fueled foot-to-the-floor barnburners.
