Hi.
I'm overwhelm by music projects, that is why I
did not write on this website since a long time. I have been busy
mainly by Ben Sasseville Project's. We are recording presently to
produce a nice record which will be release sometime in the spring
of 2011. We are at the end of the recording process. We are currently
recording the voices and doing the mix down.
On a classical note, I sang with the Coro San Marco,
a choir from Toronto at the Mondial Choral in Laval last June. I
also performed with the Montreal Welsh Choir in a couple of concerts.
On a jazzy note, I am accompanying the signer Myriam
Sévigny with a jazz quartet. We are performing jazz and blues
cover. We will post here our coming shows.We were suppose to perform
earlier this spring, but unfortunately, we had to postpone because
of the wheather.
To finish on a singer songwritting note. I just
started to write new songs in English. I'm not ready yet for recording
them, but I should have very soon enough material for a recording.

Monday
May 21st, I will be
performing my compositions with Paul Fraisse at the piano-bar
le Spectateur (54 Saint-Jacques West). Paul is a specialist
of the art of slaming, a discipline where the slammer improvise
a text with rhymes. The idea of doing a show with Paul is born from
our collaboration at La
Musika dell'act and from the slam session's night hosted by
Nousici.
We will be performing Jerome's old compositions with some experimentations,
some slam and a few compositions in progress. Our ultimate goal
is to do a show before Paul's return in France. Ticket price and
hours of the show has to be confirm. Stay tune!
Come
and see one of the Musika
dell'acte shows: May 22nd, May
29th.We
will be at Café Chaos,
2031 St-Denis street between Sherbrooke and Ontario. Starting at
20:00, 5$ at the door. The Musika dell'acte, is an experimental
theatre where I assume the role of conductor as well as musician.
To
all my friends, I feel sorry that I haven't took the time to write
you a little note earlier here on my website. Life is so busy and
so many things to do when you are an independant artist.To write
a website, both in english and french at the same time is not always
easy but I will keep on. See Ya!

am still working on my recording, though I won't release it in June
neither predict when it will be release. You would already listen
to it if I had sign with a major label, but being independent means
that you do everything yourself and it's a bit longer.

We finally received
Jérôme’s latest video: Entre elle et moi. It's
really good. I hope that you like it as much as we do. For those
who have contributed to the shooting, we will send you a DVD in
the next couple of weeks. The video should be posted on this web
site shortly.
We would like
to answer a few questions that you've asked about Jérôme’s
shows and his next recording as well.
Recording:
Last fall Jérôme wanted to release his first recording
6 or 7 songs. After a great deal of discussion, we decided to work
on a full album instead, - about 12 songs. So the release didn’t
happen in the fall, but it should come out sometime in June. Jérôme
is presently writing new songs that he wants to enter in Quebecois
competitions such as Granby and Petite Vallée in late February.
The new songs will probably be recorded in March and April. So if
everything goes as plan, you should hear Jérôme’s
music on your Ipod in June.
About the shows:
Nothing is scheduled before the release of the new recording. However,
if you are dying to hear Jérôme sing, he is still doing
shows but not as a solo act. If you want more information about
these shows, write us at: jerome@jeromesavoie.com
We will send you the information by e-mail. So you won't have to
check this site every couple of days.
Jérôme’s next appearance will be February 12th
at Mountainside Church, 4000 The Boulevard, Westmount. He will sing
with the choir during 11 o'clock mass.
Martin Maheux, Jérôme’s drummer, will release
his second jazz recording in March, look for details on his site:
www. unicornrecords.com/mmcircle/
Autumn 2005 was very
busy for Jérôme:
He played tam tam while canoeing along the North River for the René
Derouin Foundation.
November
3rd: Jérôme sang for the Canadian Forces Language School
at Saint-Jean Detachment in front of military from 24 different
countries.

sang at Bordeaux prison for a Christian cafe for father Jean who
was retiring that night.
