*show announcement*
Here's a show I've been chasing down for a couple years at least!
Unstable Sounds presents a night of acoustic punk, folk, emo and good ole rock n roll.
Jesse Lebourdais is coming over from Vancouver to play at Alley Cuts on April 10!
He has been a favourite artist for years and I'm so glad we have the chance to host him!
Mike McKinnon will be there too! Playing acoustic punk rock tracks, originals, and who knows what else. He's played a few Unstable Sounds shows with Class of 1984, Knife Manual and Angry Snowmans.
Caresse Nadeau will be opening the night. A woodstove veteran, we can't wait to have her do her thing at alley cuts April 10!
These shows are rare! They're special! Let’s support local and travelling musicians and have some fun!
Jesse Lebourdais
Jesse LeBourdais was born in Horsefly, BC; a small town in the Cariboo. He has spent the majority of his life putting rubber to road, and fingers to chords, spending years spread across thousands of kilometres, travelling with nothing more that a guitar, his unique voice, and a will to endure all there is to be found.
He writes songs steeped in the folk traditions of storytelling, and fuels them with the raw emotion of punk rock, revealing common veins of life and humanity, affirmed through heart-felt lyrics and passionate performances. Jesse LeBourdais pours his heart out on stage, and leaves it there for all to see. Sometimes solo, sometimes full band, his songs are of personal confessions that transcend literal meanings to form an emotional connection with those who hear them.
Pain, grief, joy, triumph, hope, and failure combine with fierce musicality and an explorative lyrical wit to make something wholly original, yet universally relatable.
Recently focusing attention on long-form writing, his first novel, FIRELIGHT, was released in late 2020 via Falter Press to critical acclaim. Self-produced and published, Firelight found LeBourdais channeling a lifetime of experience through his unique imagination, literally creating a whole new world, filled with realistic and entertaining characters. His second novel, THE THIRD SUN, was release in the summer of 2023. Several more are in progress.
