Inside the Music with StereoRuss

Jamie Shea & The Gentle Reminders tell it like it is and break it to you gently, reminding you of what truly matters before sending you home inspired. Their sound is dark and cool like when you're walking in the woods with the pedal steel shining through the pines to the rhythm of your footsteps.

We are all proud Hamiltonians.

Writing and performing as a solo act for many years, I wanted my songs to expand sonically to grow into what I knew they could be. It started with answering a FB post in a Hamilton Music Scene group posted by a pedal steel player looking for an opportunity to work on music with local artists. I sent him my music which he liked, we got together, played and decided to continue. After working together for a while I reached out to bass player, Jeese Visser because I wanted someone to join us who wasn't afraid to explore and move beyond traditional bass lines. We have worked with a few drummers. Local farmer and percussionist Russ Ohrt played most of the shows with us, but the demands of the land makes it too difficult for him to commit. I reached out to Dave Simpson who studied jazz with me at Mohawk and he joined recent showcase at Mills Hardware. He likes what we are doing as do we. He'll be helping us celebrate the release of our latest single "Late In The Night" at The Casbah Lounge.
