Montreal folk-rock songwriter Jesse Creatchman returns with ‘Quick Wins’, a four-song EP driven by grit, reflection, and forward motion. Framed as both mantra and mission, the release centers on momentum and the power of small victories, pairing Creatchman’s weathered voice with road-tested storytelling rooted in Folk Rock and Americana traditions.
“I needed a quick win,” Creatchman says. “So I started with what I had – the four tunes I’d recorded a few years back.” Originally tracked live off the floor, the songs were left unfinished after lost overdubs pulled him into another project. That changed when producer and guitarist Tom Shemerr of The Damn Truth stepped in, pausing work on Creatchman’s next album to help bring ‘Quick Wins’ across the finish line.
The EP gathers “Heat of the Summer Night”, “Highway Time”, “Tommy Is a Heartbreaker”, and “Put Your Trust in Me” into a cohesive whole that reads like a road-worn journal. “I released these songs as singles to generate momentum,” Creatchman explains. “I prefer album releases – it’s what I grew up on – so now here they all are together.” Honest, unpolished, and purposefully human, ‘Quick Wins’ captures an artist chasing the sun and finding clarity in simply finishing what he started.
