Raised on a diet of Old Testament hellfire and damnation-style preaching, fresh venison, rainbow trout, powdered milk, and freeze-dried potatoes, Jeshua grew up working class and country. His family split their time between his Scots-Irish Mum’s hometown of Summerland, British Columbia and his American Pop’s Baker City, Oregon. A healthy dose of rock and roll radio accompanied car rides to and from church; and a backdrop of Canadian Folk resonated from grandma’s, cousins’, uncles’ and aunties’ guitars and mandolins along the dirt roads of the Okanogan Valley. Jeshua fell in love with music at a very young age. He was called, in a dream, by the fierce electric guitar of Jimi Hendrix. At 9, he was put on his life path when he received his first acoustic guitar from his father and mother.
