MUSIC - FEATURES

photo: Nicola Waugh Sea Of Is songs for all seasons By Evan VanReekum     Attempting to capture the upbeat atmosphere of summer, Sea of Is has given all of us a means to reminisce over sights and sounds of warmer weather in even the coldest of times.     Local singer/songwriter Jon Redditt, the man behind the subtle world of Sea of Is, has proposed to release four albums within the next year, each of which will correspond to the different ambiance associated with the four seasons. The first of the four albums, the summer album, was released on September 26th with great success thus far. On All the Little Things we are presented with songs of loving, leaving and coming home.         Branching out from the heartbreaking ballads of his first two albums, Redditt has offered us some more up beat compositions, exploring old time blues, ragtime, and most of all some of that simple stripped down acoustic pop that always sounds so damn good in the summer time.     The CDs will all be released under the new local label Vulpine Records; a label that has undeniably found success in spotlighting some of western Canada's talent. Aside from being... And a web article from the music website: kerfmusic.com again by the lovely Roberta McDonald!   Swimming in a Sea of Is. Broken City Sept 26/06 Written by Roberta McDonald    Jon Redditt, a.k.a Sea of Is On a crisp Tuesday night, Broken City was standing room only as Jon Redditt a.k.a. Sea of Is took to the stage to perform his distinct style of music. The evening was the official launch party for his latest effort All the Little Things, a soothing collection of songs reminiscent of late summer and the warmth of good intentions. With a harpist and drummer helping him out for a few songs, the soft spoken Reddit admits having others on stage helps ease his jangled nerves. Prior to a set, he sips on a few beers and mingles with friends and says it helps him ease into performing. "The anticipation hits this high point, then I calm down right before I go on," he says. As part of the team running the indie label Vulpine, Redditt is understandably filled with praise for his friends and co-owners. A collective of musicians, artists, writers, and web designers, everyone works together to help get the music out there. "I have so many talented friends," he says. As some rowdy revelers whooped and screeched during one of his songs, Redditt politely shooshed them and they simmered down. Later, he explained how he sometimes feels frustrated in a bar setting when people don't pay attention. "It's hard to play over people talking," he admits. "But you can't insult the audience. You have to be respectful." As a vintage picker during the day, he sifts through mounds of discarded clothes, looking for gems to sell at Divine, a funky vintage store on 17th Ave. S.W. At night, he creates the kind of songs that conjure up lazy summer twilights and budding romance. As enthusiastic clapping cut through the smoke at Broken City, Redditt announced he was finishing his set. "Unless you guys don't mind if I go to the washroom," he said with a nervous laugh. Sure enough, the crowd clapped their approval and he disappeared for several minutes while people milled around, waiting. As he returned to the stage, the room took on a hushed reverence, clearly rapt with his soothing voice and softly strumming guitar. In typically modest fashion, Redditt says he was surprised and delighted with the large turnout on a Tuesday. "We invited people and a lot of them showed up."

This saturday i will be interviewed on CJSW 90.9 fm Calgary by CP of bikeshevics between 2:30 and 4:00pm.

Listen up if you wanna hear a couple of new songs and some songs off of the new cd and ummm possibly some prize give aways. Fly shit!

Ok final blog for a while, hopefully.

we at vulpine records just got all of the new sea of is cd's. the packaging looks fantastic (if we do say so ourselves)! thank you so much to colin askey for the amazing artwork!

the cd launch party will be in calgary at the broken city night club on september 26th and will also feature sets from: a pale blue (from vancouver), and old seed (from ontario).

The album is part one of a quadrilogy. Each album represents a season, and although it's a bit late, this one represents summer. The title of the album is "All the little things"

this is just a demo of a new song. i just made it up right before i recorded it as it is here, but i kind of like the result even with the million and one mistakes.
