Ducharme-Jones - Strangest Things (2016)

March 1, 2016 (Austin, TX) New record release, Ducharme-Jones Strangest Things, is a collection of thirteen original songs best described as Americana rock, vocal driven, lyrical, with a strong hook and melodic guitar. Co-written by David and Anne Ducharme-Jones, the songs relate stories of two people who know each other’s heart and are purposely eclectic in their approach to writing as they cross musical genres creating a sound all their own. Taking inspiration from writers like Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams, Patty Griffin, John Hiatt and a million other artists listened to over the course of a lifetime, these tracks will appeal to listeners with an appreciation for David’s sophisticated guitar stylings. He incorporates elements of rock, blues, modern country, and roots-rock. Ducharme-Jones title track Strangest Things was the most recent song they recorded, originally meant for their next CD, but both liked it so much they were inspired to get it done for this album. This record became more of a departure from David’s last few projects when Anne joined him in the studio and they began to discover a new facet of their relationship as co-writers and performers. Their long partnership accounts for the ease in which they write together with both equally contributing music and lyrics. David decided to rename his band Ducharme-Jones (from David Ducharme-Jones) to reflect the current direction of their music. Ducharme-Jones Strangest Things (2016) is a follow up to David’s previous releases A LOUD Guitar (2012) and Weeds (2009).
