Me: when I was in school I started in JK, went all the way to grade 12. Then I graduated! Then I went to University for 4 years. I graduated AGAIN! Then I went to University for 2 MORE years, and graduated AGAIN! My 5yo son, an intellectual: after I graduate I’m gonna party.

See you at the Marina tonight! 6:00 PM Chris Talarico 7:00 PM Jean-Paul De Roover & the Bandaid Solution 8:00 PM @haviahmighty @TBayCulture @TBShows @BIAwaterfront

Do you speak #French? If so, you'll love this wonderful interview with Emilie Daveluy at @CBCRadioCanada from this morning where we talk about tonight's show at Live at the Waterfront as well as what's happened since the pandemic and what comes next! ici.radio-canada.ca/.../rattrapage…

Thanks for the music and inspiration, Vangelis. youtube.com/watch?v=rcQljM…

For that reason, I always wanted to do a cover and in 2016/2017 I finally did "Chariots of Violence", a cover of Chariots of Fire with my own twists and oddly enough, no synthesizers. I cut a little vacation video from Hawaii to go along with it.

Vangelis' passing is a sad one for anyone who has been fascinated with synthetic sounds. I had a copy of his greatest hits when I was growing up and I still constantly find myself referencing his work.

It's #recordstoreday! While I'm not a brick and mortar storefront, I do have a bunch of records sitting next to a bunch of brick and mortar and I'd love to have them be a part of your collection! Get 'em at jeanpaulderoover.com/store Just use coupon "rsd20" (expires tomorrow night).

youtu.be/-dFNDFIQSPo 11 years ago I opened for the @googoodolls at the @The_Auditorium, and John Rzeznik stopped their hit “Name” mid-song to give me a shout out. Thanks to Carlo from @TourBureauBand for getting it on video!

Do you have a special memory or connection to this album? Or a particular song?

So in honour of it being 2 years since the album was released, I've created a 20% discount code for my entire online store. Grab a record, grab a shirt - the whole thing's on sale. Use "loss20" at checkout. jeanpaulderoover.com/store

It's been 2 years since the release of LOSS. An album that changed my trajectory as an artist, leaving the one-man-band world behind in favour of a full-band sound. It was also the last release I had the chance to tour properly, …

@StregaNessa This was a good reminder to put my shirts on Bandcamp, haha.

@JordanRDLester It’s so true. Lucky you, you got to double up on that a few years ago too! Congrats!!

@JamieSmith807 Yup! @_aysanabee_ deserves every good thing coming his way!

Fun fact: We played a show with Evan in Toronto 7 years ago. I guess I lent him my tuner or maybe I forgot it on stage. I got a text from @jderoover several months ago saying Evan brought it to town with him to return it to me. What a classy guy.

Sweet profile on Tbay’s Evan Pang, who is also a pretty nice guy. ottawacitizen.com/entertainment/…
