Jeremy Fisher's LES Jaunt

Uncommonly talented and enigmatic troubadour Jeremy Fisher played a compelling solo set last night at Piano's in a stealth show for friends, some journalists and execs from his new US label Wind-up. For some in the audience it was shades of Desire-era Dylan and classic Paul Simon in tone and in wordplay, though Fisher's songs have a modern piquancy of their own. His album 'Goodbye Blue Monday' is out in September but it's already making waves in Canada and on YouTube, where his homemade stop-time claymation video for his song Cigarette is grabbing millions of views.

Below, that's Wind-up's Steve Karas, Shore Fire's Rebecca Shapiro and Jeremy Fisher.

Here's Rolling Stone's Evan Schlansky, and Karas and Shapiro (again).
