Jaron Freeman Fox - Jaron Freeman-Fox & the Opposite of Everything

Winner of 3 Canadian Folk Music Awards International Songwriting Contest winner 13 tracks, featuring Jaron Freeman-Fox & The Opposite of Everything, joined by some very special guests we've met through our musical misadventures: Kevin Breit, Christine Duncan, David Travers-Smith, Teresa Doyle, Rykka, Frank Evans, and Taylor Ashton "Extraordanary album"- TORONTO STAR "..like a fiddling Frank Zappa or Sun Ra and his Arkestra, changing pace and styles on a dime but always with consummate musicality" - PENGUIN EGGS 'This is a suite of tunes where great technique, virtuosic playing, and a sense of excitement and unexpectedness abound. There's the idea that you don't know where the tune will go next, and I love that feeling of surprise in music." - 9 out of 10 - Shapenote Music "Jaron Freeman-Fox calls his band the Opposite of Everything. With a name like that, you might expect his music to be pretty adventurous - which it most certainly is. His new album begins with a remixed sample from a horse auction that melds into Indian vocal percussion. Before the album is finished, you'll hear growling that would make Tom Waits proud, a version of the Doors' "People Are Strange" that makes Jim Morrison sound boring and even some throat singing. Freeman-Fox's musical exploration has literally taken him all over the world and he finds inspiration everywhere he goes."- Reuben Maan - CBC Music The Opposite of Everything: Jaron Freeman-Fox  - violin, lead vocal, banjo (track 6), guitar (track 4) Charles James - basses, moog, vocals Dan Stadnicki - drums, percussion, vocals John Williams - clarinet, harmonica, vocals Johnny Spence - piano, keyboards, accordion, vocals Edwin Sheard - saxophone, vocals Honorary Opposites: Kevin Breit - guitar (tracks 1, 3, 8, 9, 11, 12) Frank Evans - banjo (tracks 3, 7, 8) Matt Maclean - trumpet (tracks 2, 4, 5) David Travers-Smith - trumpet, peck horn (tracks 6, 13) David Atkinson - organ (track 9) Taylor Ashton - banjo (track 6) vocals (track 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13) Christine Duncan - vocals (tracks 3, 11) Rykka - vocals (tracks 2, 12, 13) Teresa Doyle - vocals (tracks 2, 5) Jocelyn Barth - vocals (track 5) Rabid Ribbits (track 8): Shelder Jane Footz, Lea Kirstein, Reenie Pekovic, Raphael Roter, Simon Meloche, Garcia Franks.
