Jeffrey Caissie is a Canadian musician. He was born in Moncton, New Brunswick in 1977, only to be raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. After leaving his former band Porter Hall in 1999, the band released their only material recorded with Caissie; Ten Month Soundtrack (2000). After playing a handful of shows in the Mid-West, Caissie went on to record and release his first solo record I'm just trying not to lose my mind (2002). Often compared to Paul Westerberg and Elliott Smith, Caissie performed several shows with his backing bands The Beatrats, followed by The Jeffrey Caissie Group and then with The Cheating Hearts. In 2007 Caissie released his second album You Can't Replace What You Already Have and began playing shows by himself for the first time in 5 years.
