Gifted singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jake Clemons is a magnet for positive energy and emotion, consistently sharing stories and thoughts about life, his beliefs, and experiences through music. Jake and his Band are performing a Free Pop-Up Fund-Raising Show in Montreal this Friday March 11th at URSA Montreal, 5589 Park Ave, Montreal in support of Red Cross Ukraine Relief Fund. Donations Accepted at the door. Doors open at 7:30pm, show starts at 8:30pm.
“Watching this industrialized warfare against innocent civilians in real time is heartbreaking. Hope requires action, so I’m doing this show as a vehicle for those willing to actively say we are hopeful for Ukraine, and we’re actively sending resources for healing to the many who are hurting because of this terrible, unjust aggression.” Clemons’s song Eyes On The Horizon is a statement about the need to reach towards something better. “We always have to carry that hope with us,” he says. “We have to use it to look towards the horizon.”
Jake’s vast array of musical endeavors over the past decade have made him a familiar figure around the world. From recording and/or performing with Eddie Vedder, Glen Hansard, Tom Morello, Prophets of Rage, Roger Waters, US Girls as well as touring the world, to performing his own music with The Jake Clemons Band and spending the last 9 years as the tenor and baritone saxophonist with Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band including appearing on Springsteen’s latest album “Letter To You” and the companion Apple TV Documentary.
