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…

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). But it’s not always quite as easy as jumping into creating a plan…

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. They say don’t get angry, get even, as in, channel your frustration into something actionable and productive to…

About the Record: Foxchase – Better Role Models

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.…

Happy Release Day Foxchase!
Weeeoeew! I’m gonna be honest guys, I don’t know where this week or the weeks leading up to this week went. They flew by so fast I barely had any time to really prepare for this release! On Tuesday I snuck in a new song, a totally unrelated collaboration with Maneframe with “Hey, Wait! (I…
