Boy, time certainly does fly! I looked at the calendar here on the website and realized it’s been a full two months since I last posted. I guess that’s just a little bit of an indication of how busy things have been. I finished up the summer with another porchfest in Belmont, as well as… More »
A very happy summer to you all! Yes I’ve been a little quiet, but a lot of that was due to being very busy, followed by, well, not. Greetings to you from the Wildwoods in New Jersey. Been taking some time here to just listen to the ocean, hang out by the beach, and most… More »
June was a fantastic month, with a lot of fantastic live music. The new album has gotten some decent play and support from some unexpected places, and I am very thankful for all of it. And now, at the beginning of July, I find myself with a little bit of a break. Today has brought… More »

Nothing very important to say today, but just a feeling to share. I’m sitting here right now, about 10 metres* away from where I got the inspiration for (and then wrote) “All’s Well That Ends,” and am reminded of how much I love this strange little and wonderful city that sits astride the North Saskatchewan… More »
There’s something about being in a band. It’s not just about being able to play loud or fill up an entire room with sound. It’s about standing next to friends to create joy and happiness and give people a good time. It’s goofing off onstage. It’s mutual encouragement to advance your craft and your art… More »
