About Me

Musician/artist Jeff Stewart announces the release of his new seven-song EP, Mix Tape Blues. Stewarts approach is straight-forward: a man, his guitar, and a wide-eyed look at that crazy thing called love. Over the course of these tightly crafted original songs, Stewart paints the picture of a heart, once broken, suddenly surprised by the good fortune of discovering love anew. Its music for anyone that has ever walked into the sunshine of a new future, however uncertain. The disc opens with the cascading rhythms of House of Love. Over a double tracked vocal harmony, Stewart wraps us in the lazy morning haze of Slow Down and Breathe, stating his intention to think about my girl and dream away the day. An air of resignation hangs over Forty Dollar Dress, with the storyteller acknowledging what a beautiful mess, yet still thankful that he ended up with you and this forty dollar dress. With Cant Sit Still, Stewart confidently strides into folk-rock territory. With lines like, She buys a new shirt. Its a little bit too tight right there, he demonstrates a deft talent for giving just enough information, yet allowing the listener a personalized image. In the title track, Mix Tape Blues, Stewart summons up the magic of his favorite songs, and their ability to forever be associated with a certain time, place or lover. In Morning Side, the singer extends an invitation to run away, before closing out with the bouncy Say Goodnite. The glee of lyrics like I searched for grace, but found you first not only demonstrate the ironies of modern romance, but sum up the good-time feel of Stewarts personality and musical vision, as well.
