– Jester’s Crown Now in the Store
Who is Jester’s Crown, you may ask? Well, they’re my old band from the 90’s! Known for epic rock songs, deep arrangements, and excellent musicianship, we put ourselves in the genre of “melodic prog.” Progressive rock is a niche with a lot of variations and we were by no means hardcore, but there was enough of a tilt towards the complexity that fans of the genre liked that we held appeal to that group. If you listen to enough of the songs, you’ll understand what I mean. Some songs certainly lean more in that direction than others.
While the songwriting had moments of collaboration between all members, the majority of the songs were written by me with my brother Pete’s lyrics. I still play many of the “classics” today when I do solo acoustic sets: After the Rain, It All Comes Together, The Chimes, A Voice of One, Certainly, Not a Moment Too Soon, Anyway, Setting Sun, and more still pop up now and then. Many of these songs hold a special place in my heart and I enjoy performing them, often evolved slightly toward my current tastes.
I have posted our two main releases for sale at my store – Above the Storm (1995) and Away (1998) – along with a number of extra singles and unreleased tracks. You can of course pick and choose individual songs from those albums as well. I would encourage you to check them out as I believe they still hold up quite well.
If you are interested in a little more info and a few pictures from the era (check out my huge hair!), including previewing these tracks for free, visit www.reverbnation.com/jesterscrown. Enjoy!
