Song of the Day: June 15, 2018 - "I Lit The Fire" by Jack Garton
Longtime fans of the East Van music scene might remember Jack Garton from Maria in the Shower, but now he's back with his second solo album, Love You Over Time, out June 29th.
"I Lit The Fire" is the raucous first single, and Jack says it's "heavily influenced by the rock 'n' roll that I grew up listening to," says Jack. " I love that dog-eared roll-call kind of delivery in Chuck Berry's songs, it's a form of classic American poetry. 'Johnny B Goode' starts out with that great image of the hut way up in the hills. I thought "what if someone came across that old hut, got a fire started and made it cosy again?""
