Edmonton's Jessica Jalbert started Faith Healer because she wanted to be in a band rather than be known as a just singer-songwriter. I shared a few beers with Faith Healer's Jessica Jalbert and Renny Wilson in the lobby of Vancouver's Patricia Hotel . It was a stressful day for Faith Healer. Their tour van had a broken and this was a problem on a February tour.
What's the difference between an emoticon and an emoji? Why did Jessica not want to be known as a singer-songwriter? How did Montreal producer and fellow Mint Records artist Renny Wilson join the band? What were those nights like in Montreal while recording the record, staying up late smoking pot and listening to records in Renny's basement? What is Jessica and Renny's working relationship like? Which personality traits in each balance each other out? How will they fix the van? What's it like working in a record store in 2018 and what does this mean to Jessica's music? You'll have to listen to find out!
