jRock with Jason Bryant is a mix of music and movies, stupid celebrity gossip and whatever else comes to mind. Jason has been performing in television, movies and radio all his life. Now he gets to say anything and play great music.

In this episode... The Saskatchewan Roughriders are the 2007 CFL Grey Cup Champions! For those who don't know, The Grey Cup is Canada's Super Bowl. Football is pretty serious business in Saskatchewan, and no, hockey isn't our only sport. Time for some celebrating and thoughts on what it means to this province to have the Grey Cup back home for the first time since 1989.

Review of Hey Kate!:

Very polished work
Great guitar tone here. Professional production.

Great harmonies during the chorus!

Very surprised by the chord changes at the end of the chorus. I was expecting something more generic, but what you did was unique and refreshing.

Now, even a good song like this can be ruined by a bad performance, but there is not even a single note in here that I can say negative things about. Excellent performance.

Good song + good production + good performance = 5

Great job
