   About Jupiter Ray Project
The core of the Jupiter Ray Project includes singer/songwriter Shannon Ross and Jack Pelletier as well as Chris Breitner (bass), Peter Von Althen (drums) and Michael Ball (fiddle/mando)

Our live performances aim to be honest and compelling. We often pare the music down to the bare bones, trying to create an atmosphere of shared feeling with the audience. Live music is made up of so many art-forms the instrumentation, the vocalization, the arrangement, the emotion in the moment. We try to get the best out of each moment.

And sometimes we just need to let loose and rock.

A couple of reviews...
'Grassfire' review:
"Taking his cue from Young and Harris, Pelletier, along with fellow Jupiter Ray core member Shannon Ross, creates country-rock music incredibly rich in feeling and lyrical quality..."
-- S. Flood - Ottawa Express


'Morrison Heights' review:
"...There's a welcome flutter of horns on The Park and the wheezy blush of organs on Occasional Snowflake. The weepy fiddle on Wrote You A Song adds a subtle touch to the sleepy duet. The disc culminates in Fight Your Way Out, the swelling rock track on a beautifully realized disc. This is for fans of Jenny Lewis or Dean & Britta -- if they were on a country retreat -- and an early contender for disc of the year..."
-- Fateema Sayani - Ottawa Ciitzen

Someone let me know at the last minute that you were pregnant, and then, I happen to hear that you had a baby girl. Well, congradulations! It's always nice to know a new family member has been added to the Pelletier family. And what is this beatiful baby girl's name? And did you know your cousin Myrianne had her's too? A boy, named Thomas. Keep in touch. Happy for the news!

Your little cousine, Samantha

"Sounds like wind blowing in a wheatfield, train rolling down the line, rain coming down on a old tin shed, steel, wire and a rusty heart. Boots of leather and dust and ash. Mollasess and coal and stone. Wedding rings and buried bones of love broken and burnt. Tales and the footprints, ravenswings and souls are earnt"

Hi there, sorry took so long to reply. Good tunes I might add. I was at Jason Jaknunis' today editing some tracks and found your album on a shelf in the studio. And then I finally see your comment tonight. I sometimes cannot see things right in front of me. Must be a musician thing, relying on ears mainly. Anyway keep on playing, and who knows, we might cross paths sooner than you know. All the best.
