I Drove All The Way To B.C Just To Turn Around And Come Back
And I wish I had packed a warmer jacket. I was hoping that the next time I wrote to you would be on a happier note full of new beginnings and exciting changes, but this is me we’re talking about so naturally we’ve instead been met with some sort of minor catastrophe that has me…

A Quick Word on Health
It’s been sort of a wild last couple months so I wanted to check in and give you guys an update to what’s been going on. Last year I’d mentioned I’d been dealing with some sort of random and sporadic health issues that despite undergoing a series of tests, we weren’t able to determine the…

About the Record: Foxchase – Let’s Not
Taking a break from the metaphorical analysis of our mind and life experience, Let’s Not is a song that reflects on relationships that have damaged us and our part in them. We have a funny way of both downplaying and hyperbolizing experiences we’ve had, usually to protect ourselves from further grief or to bolster our…

Live Video Feature: State Lines at Free Time Cafe
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…

Is it even a band without you? Seeking drummer and bassist to get this show on the road!
I’ll be the first to admit that a lot of how this band has begun seems a little backwards to me, and by that I mean I’m a bit more used to and understanding of the normal “get together with some musicians, write some tunes, put out an album together” trajectory. Instead we’re starting from…

From A Bedroom Above A Garage
If you follow my social media channels, you know that I was sharing some new songs through the month of June – you can still check those videos out on my YouTube/Instagram & TikTok. I’m someone that is rarely ever not-writing something, but when new song lyrics started to come out in droves not long…

Canada Day, Sam Robert’s Band and Fireflies.
They’re rare, but every once in a while you meet someone and the experience, however brief, has a profound impact. On Saturday July 1st I was very excited that one of my favourite musicians was performing in my hometown. I don’t live in a city where live music is celebrated as much as it is…

Acceptance: Without You
Without You wasn’t a song I wrote for this album, but it was entirely too fitting not to include it when it came down to selecting final tracks and I’d been wanting for a long time to work a full-band production of it. I’m still often on the fence about whether the song is better…

Acceptance: Loose Change
Today’s blog centers on track 7: Loose Change. Loose Change is a super simple song based on a true story. There isn’t much to say about the overall production choices here because the aim was to keep it all pretty minimal so that that story itself is the biggest focus. I’m always a little hesitant…

Acceptance: Skeleton
Skeleton is probably the most emotionally heavy song on Acceptance, but its production is pretty bare bones and simple (like a skeleton!). It was originally written with the intention of it being only an acoustic guitar and vocal track but after experimenting with some vocal effects, I thought it was better served to incorporate some…
Neither Could Dylan
