JEVON COXON BWR 91.3fm Interview Jan 28 2025

In 2002 I recorded the first demo of what would become "next in line". Since that time i have recorded at least 5 different attempts at finishing this song. Here is what I finally consider to be the finished DEMO of `Next in Line``. Recorded mostly at my place with a few great friends in 2015.

Next in line

"Anyone Home" is a fairly "heavy" guitar driven song that I first demo'd in 1998. Since that time the song has been recorded and re-writed in two different bands that I played with years ago. I was never really happy with the re-written versions of my song so I always wanted to record a good DEMO of how the song was meant to be.
 Chris(FATS)Snider recorded the drums in my old house in Listowel in the spring of 2013 but the track basically sat untouched until summer 2015.

Anyone Home

I originally demo'd "Simply going insane" in the spring of 2013 with my friend Julie Wreford helping pen the verse lyrics of that  version of the song.
In April of 2015 I began to record and re-write "Simply going insane" with my good friends Ray Kitney on Drums, Frank Dias on Bass and Jay Lamothe adding keys. As well as my 11 year old daughter Avery eventually adding a vocal part in the breakdown after the 1st guitar solo.
 This song is about the helpless feeling of watching someone leave when you don't want them to. I have experienced this more than once in my life, so to be clear, this song is not about one particular girl but what seems to be a familiar trend in my adult life. lmao! ;)

SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT-cover

From the moment I received my very first guitar, I wanted to create music. Before I had learned any chords,  I co-wrote my first song with  school friend Darren Trudeau. Darren and I would would write many songs together.. go to recording school,write and record  some of my best work to date, eventually  releasing an album of originals in 1996  Red Eye Jack-Eyeglass as well as many other unreleased songs. We where partners.
Because I learned to write so early, I have always considered myself a song writer, playing covers was never my intention or my "thing". ( I find it very difficult to play like someone else, that is why i very rarely play guitar solos note for note) covers just kind of happened...it was a way to get "gigs".
  As life has gone on for me, I have accumulated a fairly deep catalogue of original song "demo"s that very few people have ever heard. (not that anyone should hear them either) but there is songs to be finished, and music to be made. So in my spare time I am currently re-recording old songs and in many cases finishing these song ideas. I haven't had a steady song writing partner for many years so i can be very slow at finishing things on my own.  I hate writing lyrics and have a true phobia about my voice, at the sametime I find it strange to hear someone else sing my lyrics....I know I could probably never sing this stuff live but truly probably never will.  At times I  have worked with others and I will try to include everyone that contributed to each song in the song  descriptions.
I have come to believe "if nobody but me ever hears my art, than it may as well have just stayed in my head" so I have decided to show you some  the art that I have spent my life obsessing over.  I hope you enjoy.... or at least appreciate it for what it is.
Peace! :)
