June 27 2008 - The Echoes music festival was great (once we found the place), up at a campsite in Curran Ontario, the Whispering Pines. We had a new line-up with Bill Brookes on guitar and Robert Cross on drums. We played the first night of the festival, Gini Sigler performed just before us, a very sweet acoustic set. We had a pretty good group up there the band had a lot of energy on stage, and my 2 year old daughter danced through the show it was a very memorable evening.
May 10 2008 - We had a show at Humphreys on Bank St., 2 sets, I got up and did a few songs on Acoustic to introduce each set. I got to play a new song I've been working on called Firekeeper about the war in Afghanistan. It was a pretty good night over all.
Some changes are taking place again in the band, Shaun has moved on to other projects.
April 27, 2008 - I've got a show coming up on the May 10th at Humphrey's on Bank St, hope you can make it out, should be a good night. Just getting back in to rehearsals this past month, Bill Brookes is now playing guitar with the band. He played last year with us at the Ramsey Road Music festival, Bill also played on the CD and has been playing music with me since we were kids. As well I'm playing the Echoes Music Festival on the weekend of June 27th in Curran Ontario.
March 12, 2008 - Just back from Canadian Music Week in Toronto, it was a great week! It was a great opportunity to meet people in the music industry promote the new cd.
I'm happy to announce that, after a few years.. my new cd Deepest Shade of Blue is complete and is now available direct from me or on-line at indie-pool or through the ITunes Music Store. The cd Release party took place at Zaphod Beeblebrox on December 7 at 8:00, the local band "Thats the Spirit" opened up the show, it was a great night, we had a great turn out, thanks to everyone who made it out for all the support!
If you weren't at the show please take a second and add your e-mail to the mailing list form so I can let you know about upcoming shows.
The site will be updated every month with upcoming shows, blog entries, photos and music. If you're not familiar with my music I would call it Acoustic Alternative Rock.. that said I invite you to have a listen. I have posted 2 tracks off the new cd, Goodbye and Gold, feel free to drop me a line. I hope you'll consider picking up a copy of my new cd.
My thanks to everyone who contributed to the making of the cd, in particular Ross Murray who produced the cd with me, Darren Mundt and Shaun Clare for their tremendous contribution to the making of this cd!
Deepest Shade of Blue
My debut cd "Deepest Shade of Blue" explores life transitions from darkness to daybreak. The songs tell a story, as we face the realities that confront us on our journey personally and the challenges we face, as people that are part of a global community. There is usually some beauty that comes out of difficult times in life, that is the paradox of the deepest shade of blue. I hope the songs on this cd reach out to you in some way, as they did to me.
