Jake Charron
Guitar | Piano
We are thrilled to announce that Jake Charron is coming to Music Camp! As a member of the multi-award winning East Pointers, he has been extremely busy over the past 12 years, writing music and touring the world. Their Contemporary Canadian Celtic sound has garnered them fans from around the globe and produced many accolades including a JUNO award for Traditional Roots Album of the Year in 2017.
When Jake is not on the road, he is in the studio, producing and recording music with some of the finest musicians on the scene. As a multi-instrumentalist and collaborator, Jake has released critically acclaimed duo albums with Grammy-nominated fiddle player Liz Carroll, and Canadian/US Fiddle Champion, Shane Cook. His album with Shane, Head to Head, was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music award in 2014. Whether he’s playing the piano or guitar, Jake’s signature sound can be heard on many recordings, including When Here Meets There by Nova Scotia’s Troy MacGillivray. This project also received critical acclaim and earned an East Coast Music Award for Roots/Traditional Album of the Year.
In addition to all of the tours, collaborations, and many musical projects Jake has on the go, one of his most recent endeavours is being a co-founder of SpaceCamp Studios in Charlottetown, PEI. It is here that he has been recording and producing award winning music for The East Pointers (PE), Kinley (PE), Noah Malcolm (PE) Inn Echo (PE), Luka Hall (PE), Trials of Cato (UK), Waymzy (ON), David Howley (IRE), Trad Attack (Estonia), and his newly formed group “6 Hearts”, a project featuring members of The East Pointers and Vishten.
Jake’s multifaceted world of music keeps growing and evolving. His musical prowess continues to take him in all kinds of creative directions. We can’t wait to welcome him back to Lakefield in July and look forward to everyone having a very musical week with him!
