Peak Performance Blog #8
4 months have passed since The Peak Performance Project Top 20 were announced and oh what a 4 months it has been!…but there’s no time for reminiscing here, the 5th and final month of the PPP is going to be straight up madness. Before I get into how crazy month 5 is gonna be here’s what I’ve been up to since my last blog.
Firstly thanks to all of you who voted me into the top 5 of Snow Seeker’s Fresh Trax competition! Our prize was 2 really rockin’ shows at Canada Place and Whistler. We played the Canada Place show last week and are super stoked on the Whistler show in November!
A few weeks back I met up with interview sensation Adam Lee of Island Soapbox. He came all the way from Victoria right to my busking corner and quizzed me on Life, music, and of course The Peak Performance Project. Check out the article: Read It Here!
Here’s a few other online interviews/reviews to check out: I was just featured on CrazedHits.com, reviewed on BabySue.com, and was added to AcousticRoundtable.com.
In other news…As part of this years Peak Performance Project, we’ve all (Top 20) been asked to align ourselves with a BC based charity. The decision was an easy one for me as my dad’s been battling cancer for about 2+ years now. It’s been so hard to watch him face this terrifying battle with such courage and positivity. I chose to join forces with The BC Cancer Foundation, they do so many unbelievably positive things for those with all different types of cancer.
I’ve set the insanely high goal of raising $5000.00 so I’m definitely gonna need all the help I can get. Every dollar counts, a donation of any amount would be awesome! Please visit my pledge page to: DONATE. A pledge of $20 or more will get you a signed copy of my latest album “Where Does The Time Go?”.
Hmmmm…what else has been goin’ on?
The 1st Annual Bodhi Jones Cover Song Challenge is almost over. The Challenge has received a combined viewership of 7000 and counting!…but we still need 2 entries before I can wrap up the contest. Check it out here: Cover Song Challenge and get your covers in asap!

Genre: Alternative Pop
Similar Artists: David Gray, Ray Lamontagne, Damien Rice, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, James Blunt, and Raine Maida
Bodhi Jones spent his early years poor but happy with his mother and sister on Saltspring Island. He affectionately refers to it as a "1980's hippie paradise” and says spending his childhood there was like living a page right out of Huckleberry Finn. Shortly after his tenth birthday he and his mom moved from Saltspring to Vancouver in search of greater opportunity, during this time Bodhi felt overwhelmed by the big city and became very isolated. He was often sick and spent a lot of time home alone...it was during these pre-teen years that he truly discovered his passion for music.
Over the past 6 years, Bodhi has recorded 5 EP’s and 3 full length albums, selling over 20 000 copies while performing on the streets of downtown Vancouver. In 2009 Bodhi was selected as Virgin Radio's "BC artist of the month", voted into The Peak Performance Project's Top 20, and named Vancouver's best busker by The Georgia Straight. 2010 has brought even more exposure his way: Earning a second consecutive spot in The Peak Performance Project's Top 20 and is being played on 100.5 The Peak, CBC Radio One, Virgin, Citr and CJSFU. He also performed live on CTV's Canada Am and Global's Morning Show during the 2010 Winter Olympics.
In April of 2010 he released a new full length album titled "Where Do We Go From Here?" Produced by Winston Hauschild (Hannah Georgas) and mixed by Shawn Cole (Bend Sinister, Yukon Blonde, and You Say Part! We Say Die!), this latest effort is a big step up sonically and truly showcases Bodhi's heart, honesty, and song writing talents. He's just completed his second western Canada tour and is planning a Cross-Canada tour this spring in support of his new album "Ordinary Madness".
