Jon-Rae Fletcher is a Canadian singer-songwriter. He records both as a solo artist and with a back-up band as Jon-Rae & The River.

Background

The son of a preacher, Jon-Rae grew up in Kelowna, British Columbia, where he sang in his church's choir by day, and fell in love with the music of Kurt Cobain at night. [ [http://www.eye.net/eye/issue/issue_10.27.05/features/jonraeandtheriver.php Eye Weekly Oct. 27, 2005, online article by Stuart Berman] ] Jon-Rae founded the original River band with collective of Vancouver friends, but disbanded the group when he moved east to follow a girlfriend, whom he later married.

The River was reformed with like-minded Toronto musicians in 2003, and they have grown into somewhat of a cult band with an ever-expanding audience. Combining country, gospel, rock, and soul, Jon-Rae & The River have created a unique blend of music, sometimes complemented by an on-stage choir.
