Vancouver's Jett Pace aka Old Man Canyon started out as a sort of indie folk artist and he found quick success with his first release the Phantoms & Friends EP. Many songs off that record ended up in poignant montages on several popular television shows (for example MTV's Awkward, Showtime’s Shameless and Bravo's Suits). After a break, Old Man Canyon returned in 2016 with a new record Delerium (his debut full length). This time Jett has added synthesizers to his sound while leaving the folkier stuff behind.
I hung out with Jett before his record release party. While we chatted, his phone kept buzzing. Many family members needed directions to the show. Here's a list of the things we talk about in the van: the jungle psychedelic mushroom trip that helped him refocus his music, how to find the right people to take on the road, moonwalking to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" for his mom, feeling trapped by the folk acoustic guitar song format, becoming a vintage synth nerd, urine on the tour van floor, and much more. Listen!
