Growing up with music as a strong influence throughout his life, JT has been performing since he was about eight years old. He took guitar lessons early in life but found it to be quite the challenge so he switched over to drums and excelled at it. Family functions were looked forward to, as he was able to jam with his Grandpa who played the harmonica, spoons and knives. His dad played the electric guitar, his uncle played the accordion and his cousin played the piano and the trumpet. Although he still plays drums, JT returned to playing the guitar as he started serious songwriting.

With a passion for poetry, JT enrolled in writing classes to learn how to put his words with music and has been song writing ever since. JT is now a member of the Nashville Songwriter Association International (NSAI).

Roger was loaned an electric guitar for a high school lip sync performance when he was fifteen. After accidentally striking a few chords, he was hooked and never looked back. Growing up on the outskirts of a small town called Hope, there was never much to do so making music was a good way to pass the time. He left small town life for the Greater Vancouver area.

In 2007, he was the winner of the Coquitlam Idol contest. After winning a spot in the BC Talent Search competition, Roger placed 6th out of 18 provincial finalists held at Mountainfest 2008. To further his musical endeavors, he was schooled in vocal technique at the Shadbolt Academy of Arts and in country guitar by Mitch Merrett.

The Jardines are Cherelle and Ajaye Jardine, a mother daughter act from Richmond BC. The idea of having a new mother daughter group in the current country roots music scene is really exciting. There hasn’t been a mother daughter success story since The Judds and The Jardines plan on making a similar impact.

The Cherelle and Ajaye combination is a delicious mixture of street smarts and innocence. Their life experiences are meshed together, giving the listener an ageless body of work to fall in love with.

Their new self-titled album, co-produced with Kirk Douglas was recorded at the Sound Lounge in Vancouver. The song writing has been compared to writers such as Lucinda Williams and Kathleen Edwards, as well as early Sheryl Crow. The Jardines also included a cover of Gordon Lightfoot’s “Sundown”. To add to the fun, they put the Jardine stamp on it with an up tempo key change. Lightfoot loves their version.

The cd is dripping with sexy pedal and lap steel, dobro, fiddle, guitars, keys, harmonica and the sweet vocals of Cherelle and Ajaye. It’s a very intimate album, straight from the heart.
