Jamie Rumley on purevolume™

Folk Rock / Folk / Acoustic

A mix of rock and folk, Jamie Rumley's bittersweet lyrics and music might remind you of the stylings of Sheryl Crow, Michelle Branch, and Tegan & Sara, but her uniqueness makes her a genre all her own.

The first song Jamie ever recorded, "Anywhere But Here", combined elements of all her favourite styles, and is a favourite amongst her fans. In 2002, Jamie wrote, recorded and produced her first CD, "Out Of The Ordinary", entirely on her own. She also contributed back-up vocals to Chris Downey's "Zora Road" on the album "Scratch the Surface".

To enhance her skills in the studio and learn more about the recording process, Jamie took an Audio Engineering Program through Studio 11 in Winnipeg which she completed in 2002.

In the meantime, Jamie continues to write and record songs for her second demo. Jamie Rumleys new CD "Renovations" will be released in 2008. She will be going on tour in Western Canada with another local musician, Lindsey White in May to promote her new CD.

EP udpate & other news

EP news:

Coming up with a name for this EP wasn’t as hard as I expected it to be... it kind of just fell in my lap. I was thinking about the songs that have been chosen and what they all had in common. The one thing that stood out to me the most was that they all were originally recorded either back in ’02 or ’03. Then it popped in my head... taking the old and making it new/better."Renovations"

"Renovations" is getting close to being done and will have 6 songs on it. No order of the track listing yet, but here are the songs that will appear on it:

Anywhere But Here

Don’t Know Why

Had to Be

Thank You

Lost in Myself

Blind

"I hope to have a couple of the new tracks up for you within the next month and hopefully the cover artwork too. Thanks to Adam (www.pollutionlake.com) for putting up with me thus far in the studio.

Pictures:

I’ve posted new pictures from the photo shoot for the EP. I’d like to say a Big Thank You to Rahim (rahim.net) for taking the time out of his busy schedule to set up a last minute shoot. Thank you very much! You’re a very talented photographer and I love your work.

Other News:

I will be heading out to Midale, Saskatchewan May 3rd - 4th playing bass for my father’s gospel band ’Billious Pond’. We will also be playing live on a radio station out there, but right now I do not know what the station ID is.

Canadian Western Tour:

The lovely talented Miss Lindsey White (www.lindseywhite.com) and I are going on tour out West this May. As Lindsey put it...."Jamie Rumley + Lindsey White + one cavalier and a whole lotta gear = TOUR TIME!" I will update you with the shows/dates when they have been edged in stone.

That’s all for now... I hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Easter!

Back in the Studio..

After a very long absence from the studio, I have finally found my way back.
I am currently working on 5 "new" tracks and hope to have them done by the end of February if not sooner.

In other news... I am aiming to have my new EP available for purchasing in March/April. No track listing has been edged in stone yet and I'm still undecided about naming the EP or to just keep it self-titled.

Till then... I hope you have an awesome week and keep checking back for more updates about the new music and EP.
