About the Record: Foxchase – Abandon
Pirate ends with a feeling of being inspired to take action, something I hope everyone feels at some point in their lifetime where they’re driven by whatever they’re most passionate about (and this can be many different things over time, of course).

About the Record: Foxchase – Pirate
Pirate is the last song in Act I of Foxchase; a bit of a cliffhanger that stems directly from the ideas introduced in Better Role Models and documents the beginning of another big shift in my life.

At the time of writing this, Foxchase has been out for 3 months. It arrived officially on March 15th although, if you were subscribed here or to my Bandcamp page you got it a little earlier than that. It seems like enough time has passed that we can dive into talking about it. I like…

Show Announcement: Sault Ste. Marie on July 27th!
There are a lot of places I hope to play shows in one day and while I’m not yet at the stage where I’m ready to announce my cross-Canada tour, I am exceptionally excited to announce that I will be making the 8-ish hour drive north of my hometown to Sault Ste Marie this July.…

On Saturday May 4th I made my way down to Free Times Cafe for another one of Dr. B’s Open Mic events at Free Times Cafe. You might recall that last time I was there I had the esteemed pleasure of being joined by Brain Morgan, Lynda Kraar and Jaime Valentine who hopped in on…
