JC Coventry

The first night of the Ben Folds holiday tour Ross looked at me and said “I can’t believe this is a job”.

Ending the year on the highest of notes, grateful for all the connection and creativity in my world these days.

Sleigher forever.

The new jc coventry record that I made with is finished. Ten months after the first session and twenty minutes shy of a full moon.

For the past two years I’ve been traveling around the country with - writing a record on days off in hotel rooms, coffee shops, and in the stairwells of theaters. This winter I took the demos of those songs to , who produced the hell out of a record that is just about to wrap up.

This is the first show playing those songs in the wild and it feels fitting that it’s back home in Rhode Island. Before it got announced my friend made a small request of me, “you gotta change your band name.” She offered a simple moniker, my initials and my hometown.

I gotta say it felt strange at first, I’m not always an easy sell on shifts like this. There was nine years, two albums and an extended play, my first national touring as an artist, all wrapped up in I&R. But the truth is it had stopped resonating with me, it felt more like an attempt to hide behind my art rather than be seen for it. I’m happy to say the change feels good, in a time of heaviness on a lot of fronts, the music making feels lighter.

I’m going to be at tonight, playing some songs I made up before my friend Ben takes the stage. It’s a new thing and it’s same as it ever was. I hope to see you there.
