Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything.

First some big life changes in early 2020, and then of course, the coronavirus pandemic happened 2 weeks after a very successful March 7, 2020 concert at the Registry Theatre with Outside The Box and The MacQueens. Like all my fellow musicians, the gigs and shows for the remainder of the year were cancelled, and my busy practice and gigging schedule with my bandmates in Sing Me A River and Outside The Box also ground to a halt. I am slowly coming out of my…

Well, that was a blast! I had a great time at my two CD release concerts at Silence in Guelph, ON and at McDougall Cottage Historic Site in Cambridge, ON, both in November 2019. Head on over to my YouTube channel - I've just uploaded 4 videos from the McDougall Cottage concert! Big thanks to Peter Light for the videos!

Well, I've been off the radar a little bit in terms of performing this summer, but certainly have kept busy. I have been recording and producing a CD for my friend Martha Renaud, a wonderful singer-songwriter from Windsor, ON. Our paths crossed a couple of years ago, and I have been a fan ever since! She's a masterful storyteller and accomplished finger-style guitarist, and it was a privilege to work on her music. The CD will be released soon - check out some of her past work at www.martharenaud.com.

My new CD, "True North", is officially released to the world!

An official CD release party is being planned for the fall 2019, but I will be performing songs from the album throughout the spring and summer 2019 throughout Ontario.  

I have also released my first music video for "True North", a self-directed project with the help of my friends/bandmates Dorothea Smith and Kathy Lepp of Sing Me A River.

Check it out on my Official YouTube Channel and please "Like" and subscribe for more videos in the future. 

The new CD has arrived! I'll be releasing it to the world in the near future, releasing a video and planning a CD release party, too! Head on over to the Music/Videos page for a preview of a few tracks from the CD.  Watch this space for details as they come!

It's been a long road full of starts and stops, but the CD is finally finished! Being primarily a one-man operation (with a little help from my friends), it has taken hundreds of hours of recording, takes and retakes, tweaking, re-tweaking, listening, re-listening and many cups of coffee. All the songs are off to the mastering engineer, who will apply his magic to add the final polish before I send it to the CD manufacturer. Thanks to Dorothea Smith, Kathy Lepp, Julie McCann, Peter Light, and Gwen Potter…

Well, 2017 has been a very busy year! Lots of gigs in between daily life and recording for the CD. I'm happy to say the recording process is almost finished, with just a few instrument parts and vocals left to do by myself and with my talented musical friends. Final mixing and then off to the mastering engineer to make it all shiny and polished before sending it off to manufacture the CDs. I'm hoping for a CD release party in the spring of 2018, so please stay tuned!
