Jayke Orvis & The Broken Band
James Hunnicutt
10PM
$5

A founding member of The .357 String Band and current member of the Goddamn Gallows, Jayke Orvis is ahead of his time even though he plays timeless music. The songs on his solo effort “It’s All Been Said” are articles of the heart, exposing Orvis as a fragile, troubled soul. His depictions of love are raw and blue, the pages of his life littered throughout this album.

About James Hunnicutt

I was born in Everett, WA in December 1973. My Mom was a hippie & Dad was a bit of a redneck. I feel that I have benefited greatly from the contrast between them as I have grown more & more into who I am. I’m old fashioned & polite in many ways but also quite progressive & radical in others. I have no use for the “isms” if you know what I mean & feel that intolerance should not be tolerated especially when involving said “isms”. Basically, if you are a racist, a man or woman hater, homophobe, religious tyrant, etc, I have better things to do than deal with your ignorance. I am a proud parent to the coolest kid in the world. We are best friends & I love him with all of my heart. I am “happily single” at this point in my life & am in no hurry to be in an unhealthy relationship ever again. I have settled in the past & tried to make love work when I wasn’t ready for love & this has resulted in eminent failure repeatedly on the relationship front. Knowing this, I don’t blame myself or any of my former girlfriends for these failed relationships & know that love will happen when I am ready for it & happen to find an equal to myself who is also ready for the same. As far as music goes, I put my heart & soul & life into it to the greatest degree possible & unapologetically so. I believe that the best music & art to be found in life is honest, sincere, passionate & often times autobiographical & mine is no different. Some will enjoy what I do & others will not but I know for a fact that I what I do IS real & that is what I am most proud of when it comes to music & what I create/express with it. I started playing guitar in 1985-86 & have been in 30+ bands since starting my 1st one in 1987. I hope you’ll check out some of the links & give a listen to them….
Thanks for reading this & have a great day!
James
