Behind the Hedges: ‘Life in the Burbs’ by The Dream Chasers

‘Life in the Burbs’ by The Dream Chasers With ‘Life in the Burbs,’ Bridgette and Peter (aka The Dream Chasers) unfold the full range of their artistic creation. They take us on a journey through the suburbs, which includes not only the visible hedges and houses but also the hidden longings and dreams of their inhabitants. With a mix of melancholic reflection and life-affirming euphoria, they paint a multi-layered portrait. The musical accompaniment is as diverse as the emotions of the residents. From indie pop melodies that capture the quiet of a Sunday morning to powerful indie rock chords that reveal the hidden wildness behind the manicured facades, The Dream Chasers offer a soundtrack that both soothes and challenges the listener. The catchy riff in ‘Life in the Burbs’ acts as a musical guide that immediately captivates the listeners and takes them on an acoustic journey through the complex emotions of suburban life. It is the artistry with which this riff captures the essence

The Saturday Interview: Sweet Jayne


Sweet Jayne

Today we present Sweet Jayne, a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Dublin. We are really proud that we had the chance to ask her about music, influences, social media and her talents. So we have to say: beware, this is a must-read!

Who inspired you to make music?

When I was a small child I fell in love with the Irish band The Cheiftains and started playing the fiddle.  I grew up studying classical and Traditional Irish music.  

What is your creative process like?

I love going for long walks, and music often comes to me when I'm outside.  

Who would you most like to collaborate with?

The Rolling Stones 

What is the most useless talent you have?

Picking things up with my toes 

What is the most useful talent you have?

Besides music?  Hmm... I make a good sandwich I suppose 

If you could change anything in the past, what would it be?

I would have played more music for my great grandmother 'Grandma Jayne' before she died 

How do you feel the Internet (especially Social Media platforms) has impacted the music business?

I feel like the internet has made it harder for musicians to earn a living, because people no longer have to buy albums and there are so many live streams available for free... there is also so much content that new music often slips under the radar.

What’s next for you?

More music!  I will be releasing another original single called "Don't Ya" in the next few months, with a music video.  It's the first time I'm working with a video production company with my original material, I'm excited, they're a Dublin based company called Gander.

I'll be putting out an EP of original songs after that! I have some other projects on the back burner as well, and I hope to record another album of Traditional Irish music in the near future.

What to you know about Austria?

I've always wanted to travel to Austria, looks like a beautiful country.  Some of my favourite composers are from there as well, Mozart, Schubert and Haydn 

Why "Sweet Jayne", is there a story behind the name?

I have always loved the Lou Reed song 'Sweet Jane',  and I like to think I'm pretty sweet ;)
