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.

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!

Well, the end of summer is upon us and what a busy summer it has been! Plenty of gigs between myself, Outside the Box and Sing Me A River. Some highlights included both the Grand Porch Party and Schneider Creek Porch Party, both in Kitchener-Waterloo, ON, The Lynn River Music and Arts Festival in Simcoe, ON (where I hosted a song circle as well as played on the Main Stage), Two Creeks Concert Series in Wheatley, ON and The Old Town Hall Concert Series in Waterford, ON. The fall holds fewer gigs, as I am…

It's been a couple of busy months! Lots of gigs both with myself and with my other bands. The recording of the CD is slow, due mainly to how busy I've been playing out, and trying to coordinate schedules with my musical friends to do their parts. However, good things come to those who wait, I say! My bandmate in Outside the Box, Gwen Potter, played some absolutely beautiful viola and violin parts on my song "Simple Soul". I wrote the string arrangements but she brought it life!  I'm pleased as punch as they…

The new CD is well underway - about 60% of the recorded parts are done. It's a slow process but hey, it's pretty much been a one-man show so far, with a little help from my friends in Sing Me A River. I've been keeping busy between my own gigs and shows with the three other trios I'm in - Outside the Box, The Hazy Maidens, and the aforementioned Sing Me A River. I have so many talented friends - hmm...perhaps I can call in a few favours?

Welcome to my new website! 

2017 brings new changes, including a new website and a new CD! I'm currently in the  middle of recording the new CD at home, and hope to release it sometime in 2017. On top of recording the new CD, I continue to gig regularly solo, as well as with the three (!) trios I am in - Outside The Box, The Hazy Maidens and Sing Me A River. Stay tuned for news of the CD release party right here!
