From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jon-Rae Fletcher is a Canadian singer-songwriter. He records both as a solo artist and with his back-up band The River. The son of a preacher, Jon-Rae grew up in the Canadian Prairies, where he sang in his church's choir by day, and fell in love with the music of Kurt Cobain at night. Jon-Rae founded the original River as a collective of Vancouver friends, but broke the band up when he left the West Coast to follow a girl friend (who is today his wife). The River has been reformed with like-minded Toronto musicians (sometimes complimented by an on-stage choir) and they have grown into somewhat of a cult band with an ever-epanding audience. Combining country, gospel, rock and soul, Jon-Rae and the River have truly created a unique blend of music.
