East Coast DNA featuring Jessica Rhaye

Jessica Rhaye joins East Coast DNA host Darcy Walsh for a chat about her career in music, her new album, her band, and upcoming tour. With the release of Sunshine Baby, Jessica Rhaye’s second album with The Ramshackle Parade, the New Brunswick-based singer/songwriter expands her reach as a lyricist and vocalist with a set of alternately personal and observational songs that manage to be incredibly intimate and cinematic in scope simultaneously. While Rhaye illuminates the darker corners of her world on some tracks, the album’s lead single and title track makes it clear she’s ever lost sight of the possibility for redemption and hope. The result is a beautiful and powerful album – one that telegraphs the joy and depth of connection Jessica Rhaye and The Ramshackle Parade have found in working together in equal measure. 00:00 Introduction 00:50 Solo music career 06:10 Graphic Design 14:50 The Ramshackle Parade 16:30 Tour 19:00 The sound of Jessica Rhaye and The Ramshackle Parade 23:20 Influences 30:23 I Feel Fine by Jessica Rhaye and The Ramshackle Parade Find Jessica Rhaye and The Ramshackle Parade online: https://jessicarhaye.bandcamp.com/ (check out the vinyl!) https://www.jessicarhaye.com/  @JessicaRhayeMusic  Find Jessica Rhaye Design online: https://www.jessicarhayedesign.com/ Catch Jessica Rhaye and The Ramshackle Parade live: https://www.jessicarhaye.com/shows Thursday, Sept 28, 2023 - Charlottetown, PEI - Trailside Music Hall Saturday, Sept 30, 2023 - Saint John, NB - Imperial Theatre Thursday, October 19, 2023 - Halifax, NS - The Carleton Friday, October 20, 2023 - Shelburne, NS - The Osprey Arts Centre Saturday, October 21, 2023 - Fredericton, NB - Charlotte Street Arts Centre Monday, October 23, 2023 - Montreal, QC - Casa Del Popolo Tuesday, October 24, 2023 - Toronto, ON - The Dakota Tavern Presents: Four Play Wednesday, October 25, 2023 - London, ON - Aeolian Hall Thursday, October 26, 2023 - Hamilton, ON - Mills Hardware Friday, October 27, 2023 - Ottawa, ON - The Redbird Live Saturday, October 28, 2023 - Smiths Falls, ON - Station Theatre Subscribe to  @eastcoastdna  for more music and arts coverage from Eastern Canada
