About Me

Born out of a seething thirst for hunger, and a thorough dissatisfaction with fulfillment, The JCE blends sweet vocal harmonies with textures rich and layered. The music is a healthy blend of psychedelic nerd-pop and singer/songwriter introspection and a wide variety of musical traditions, as seen from the outsiderâ€™s point of view. The songs evoke many varied and philosophical moods, from self-assertion to self-discovery to self-gratification, and all the messy, cuddly and contradictory sensibilities that lie in between. Led by composer and multi-experimentalist Jon Cohen, who has played in such diverse bands as The Dears, The Social Register, JF Robitaille, John Lennox, and Launie Anderssohn. The JCE will make you shake, shiver, dance and sit quietly in one spot, wondering where the time has gone. Savor the beautiful confusion.....
