Josh Zubot | Creative Music Commissions Presented

Josh Zubot | Creative Music Commissions Presented by TD. “I just want people to be energized… to come out and see some music. Actually, I’m hoping it gets wild out there.”

In this interview, @joshzubot talks about riding the waves of his creative process (gardening when he doesn’t feel like writing), putting his violin down to try new things, and missing the energy that comes from going to shows & connecting with new music.

This video is part of our interview series with musicians who received Creative Music Commissions during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. These commissions, which were granted with the generous support of @td_canada, provided no-strings-attached income to artists at a crucial time. As always, we extend our gratitude to TD for their ongoing support and belief in Canadian music!

To each and every person who joined us at a show this past weekend—thank you. It was such a joy to share exceptional music with all of you, and we hope you had as much fun as we did. We are already looking ahead to when we can do it all again!

We'd also love to hear from you! If you have a positive experience, funny story, or favourite musical moment from IronFest that you'd like to share with us, please do—you can leave a comment on this post or e-mail us: marketing (at) coastaljazz (dot) ca.

DJ Kookum | Creative Music Commissions Presented by TD. In this interview, @djkookum talks about adapting to the online world/becoming a “virtual DJ”, the importance of reading a crowd, and having a baby right as the world is reopening.

IronFest starts THIS WEEK, and we can't wait to see all your beautiful, beautiful faces. We've missed you, after all! This will be our first foray back into the world of in-person-only shows after 20 long months, and we couldn't ask for a better venue or a better lineup to help us ease back into things. If you're attending a show (yay!), please remember to bring your proof of vaccination, government-issued ID, a mask, and some cash if you want to buy merch.

See you soon! (Pictured: @coon_bill, who is almost as happy to be holding a guitar as we will be to see you in a few days).

James Meger | Creative Music Commissions Presented

James Meger | Creative Music Commissions Presented by TD. “This year has been a lot of questioning why: why do it? What is the thing that pushes you to do it? Who are you doing it for? Is it sustainable? … I think I’m still taking stock.”

In this interview, James Meger discusses how he feels like he’s re-learning the bass, exploring new compositional approaches, leaning into record production, and his hopes for patience & kindness through the reopening process.

You can hear some of James' new ideas at his upcoming Ironfest performance on Nov. 20—ticked link is (you guessed it) in our bio!

"I'm so excited to... show a different part of my creative self to the jazz fest audience."

@krystledossantosmusic's power lies in her ability to spellbind an audience—as a performer, she is so deeply captivating, charismatic, and joyous that you have no choice but to leave your worries at the door and groove along. If you're looking to shake off some of the winter or pandemic blues, consider checking out her show at IronFest next Friday! We're thrilled to have her with us to share highlights from her award-winning catalogue of original songs.

We caught up with Krystle and chatted about what she's been listening to, what she does when she's not performing, and more! You can read the interview at the link in our bio!
