"There’s an easy going grace to this disc, a laid back-ness that belies the awkward and remote circumstances of the recording process... there’s magic in the grooves; you can really feel it." - John Kereiff from Gonzo Okanagan on <a href="spotify:album:2k4TOH83OcBcVbqjC5Uffp" data-name="Why Should I Be Blue?">Why Should I Be Blue?</a>
Broke Fuse is a one-man blues/roots band from Toronto, performing original songs along with classic standards.
Jay Moonah is the man behind Broke Fuse. He has been active on the Canadian music scene for more than 30 years and is a former member of a number of bands including indie-roots-rockers Uncle Seth and retro-folk act The McFlies. Jay is also co-founder of the Scarborough Uke Jam. While probably best known on the Toronto blues scene as a harmonica specialist, Jay plays a number of different instruments and is also a singer and songwriter.
The all-original debut EP <a href="spotify:album:6C6nzrYWNDisaPZQ9ZsDbk" data-name="The Underground">The Underground</a> was released in 2015, with the follow-up <a href="spotify:album:0DgKPsCo2gpaqJrAzNZCYK" data-name="Broke Down + Blue">Broke Down + Blue</a> arriving in early 2017.
Early in 2020 Jay decided it might be time to add some additional members to Broke Fuse and began rehearsals with other musicians toward that end. Unfortunately the Covid-19 crisis put the breaks on this plan. So Jay switched gears and decided to engage as many of his musical friends as he could to collaborate remotely. It was sometimes a bumpy process, but the resulting album <a href="spotify:album:2k4TOH83OcBcVbqjC5Uffp" data-name="Why Should I Be Blue?">Why Should I Be Blue?</a> speaks for itself. The album features remote contributions from <a href="spotify:artist:2C2SHetx5RGODh99ThvkyP" data-name="Sandra Bouza">Sandra Bouza</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0CDZ1nMfQ7vsx5ok4w72fW" data-name="Frank Horvat">Frank Horvat</a>, Mike McKenna of <a href="spotify:artist:2gBxUy29RXKebhJhDjuJ0v" data-name="McKenna Mendelson Mainline">McKenna Mendelson Mainline</a> and many others.
