Jared Doherty is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Kamloops, British Columbia. Adopting a psych-pop songwriting style that simultaneously takes cues from 60’s/70’s folk rock (The Byrds, Joni Mitchell), more contemporary indie singer-songwriters (Mac DeMarco, Alex G), and with a touch of noisy experimentalism (Neutral Milk Hotel), Jared strives to create lush psychedelic soundscapes that breathe around his melodic songs. Jared’s debut 7 track album ‘Small Window’ came out November 16, 2018 on Kamloops-based Factotum Cassettes & Oddities. Lyrically, the album deals with an exploration of perception; how viewing things through a small window can be equal parts rewarding and limiting, melancholic and uplifting.
