Smoke and Moonbeams

About Me

Smoke and Moonbeams is the current receptacle for the noise found inside J.J. McDubie's head. Music, writing, imagery and angry drunken rants - all unedited and commercial-free for your enjoyment.J.J. is a 30 year-old independent blues musician who currently resides in his birth country of Canada. A standing member of no organizations or groups, J.J. prefers to live on the bare margins of acceptable society where he can view the world more objectively. Since no actual birth records can be found for J.J. McDubie, it is generally assumed that he evolved from mold in a coffee cup left atop a guitar amplifier in some dusty and smoky location where blues music is played. Little else is known about J.J. or his origins so the listener is invited to fill in the blanks with whatever details they find suitable to their preconceived notions of what a blues musician should be. Not knowing is always more fun than knowing anyway, isn't it?
