Peak Performance Blog # 2
It’s been just over one week since The Peak Performance Project Orientation and I’m feelin fine! I’ve signed on with Killbeat Music, an amazing publicity company and they’re gonna be doing a full scale cross Canada campaign for my new album! The publicity push will include television, radio, and print media. I’m super stoked! It’s time to build the BoJo buzz*
I’ve spent much of the last week in “The Bunker” recording two new tunes with Sir. Winston Hauschild. These tunes will be added to my latest Ep. to make it a full length record. We had such a blast recording the new songs and I think it’ll show. In my opinion “Wake Up!” and “Blood, sweat, and tears” are gonna be some of the best on the album. They’re both up-beat, up-lifting, and catchy as #@&! I can’t wait for people to get em on their iPods and in their car CD players!
Also two music videos are in the works, one for “I Used To Know How” and the other for “Work The Night Shift” both of which will be serviced to MuchMore Music and of course online. There’s lots more on the horizon and it’s really, really exciting!
Here’s a link to a recent interview I did for www.vanbroshow.com check it out! I hope you’ll drop by next week for my Peak Performance Blog # 3

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".
