Live at The Royal Saskatchewan Museum
One of Canada's finest songwriters, Jay Semko is also known throughout Canada and around the world for his unique, organic sound as music composer for the internationally syndicated television series "Due South", and for his role as singer/songwriter/bassist with Canadian pop icons the Northern Pikes.

As a solo artist with his own blend of folk / country / canadiana / americana, Jay has released his first live album "Live At The Royal Saskatchewan Museum". It was recorded on March 10, 2007 at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum Theatre in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, by the CBC Mobile recording unit.

The theatre is an intimate venue and the evening was a perfect tonic for a cold winter night. The band consisted of Jay singing lead vocals and playing acoustic guitar, with Kim Fontaine (bass and vocals), David J. Taylor (electric guitar and vocals), Warren Rutherford (pedal steel), Blair Finley (lead electric guitar), and Lou Fontaine (drums and percussion). "Live At The RSM" features a number of songs from Jay's most recent studio album "Redberry", as well as songs from his album "Mouse", and two songs originally recorded by the Pikes. It is a true live album, with no overdubs or "fixes"- what you hear is what happened that night. Enjoy!!

"LIVE AT RSM" CD AVAILABLE AT INDIEPOOL, CDBABY, PURETRACKS, ITUNES AND OTHER DIGITAL OUTLETS.
