"The musical projects I'm undertaking right now are based on community, love, just positive stuff, like just connecting and plugging in with people, feeling a sense of belonging-ness, so I'm just trying to foster those philosophical beliefs in both of those projects." - Times & Transcript 2008-03-20
"Vibes are precisely what has carried Anew Airship—playing two shows this weekend—so far aloft; that, and a clean, melodic sound that blends jazz-funk and west coast folk-pop with touches of alt-hip-hop and dub. With their EP Demonstration in hand and a string of shows in Halifax, Montreal and Toronto under their belts, these three, along with bassist Phil Mackenzie, have been flying high."

Bio
Anew Airship lifted off May 2007 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Backed by an expansive acoustic power pop trio - Mike Ritchie, Phil MacKenzie and Mark Bachynski - Jeremy Francis floats above it all with a voice that spills out onto each track with conviction and sincerity.
They have been playing frequently with shows in Montreal, Toronto, and around the maritimes, including a sold-out EP release at The Seahorse in Halifax. With their tight clean sound and engaging stage presence, Anew Airship is quickly developing a growing community of happy listeners.
