With a drummer for a father, the die was cast. Born a musician, Jon McCann has served as a drummer with several artists over the years; some notables include Guided By Voices, Tangiers, Blurtonia, 13 Engines and most recently Sarah Harmer. His last song writing efforts culminated in two records with his band Nassau which were released with Outside Music in the early 2000’s; both records offering a Rock and Roll heart with a dash of psychedelic melancholy.
And now, this October 26, Jon McCann is back with ‘Too Far From Here’. Recorded over the fall of 2021 into the winter of 2022 in Toronto at the cozy Lincoln CountySocial Club, with John Dinsmore at the helm. ‘Too Far From Here’ takes twists and turns like a long drive in a 1979 Mercury Cougar; built for comfort not for speed. Inspired by equal parts The Byrds, Neil Young and The Jesus and Mary Chain, ‘Too Far From Here’ plays like an old movie in its own genre ‘Cosmic Western Noir’.
