Joe Jencks is an international touring performer, songwriter, entertainer and educator. From concert halls like the Lincoln Center in New York, to coffee houses, festivals, spiritual communities, and schools, he has spent the last decade years touring full time.
In his latest release, The Candle and the Flame, Joe delivers an album that is so personal and so passionate that it shatters any stereotype and places him solidly on the map as one of the finest modern singer songwriters. A Grammy-winning team of engineers and supporting musicians contributed to make the recording an exceptional piece of work from start to finish. The Candle and the Flame combines many facets of Joe's diverse musical background and weaves them all together into an aural tapestry that is stark and exquisite. At the center of Joe's music is an abiding love for humanity that transcends the everyday and boarders on the mystical.
Iain Campbell Smith is a favorite on the Australian music festival circuit. He is the subject of a film about his experiences on peace keeping operations in the war-torn islands of the South Pacific where his work as a musician and radio broadcaster contributed to the success of the world's first-ever unarmed peace keeping force. His songs range from deep gravity to extreme comedy, and his live performances have earned descriptions from "Australia's answer to Billy Bragg" to "Loudon Wainwright meets Noel Coward."
Iain will be touring the U.S. this fall to launch his latest release, Texas. His fifth album, it reflects his gift for capturing the essence of a time and place in song, and captures the zeitgeist of an America divided in the second term of the Bush administration. It touches on subjects from Obama to Iraq with the insight, balance and irony that have made Smith one of Australia's most respected singer songwriters.
Joe and Iain have toured together several times before and are excited about this upcoming reunion tour.
