About the Record: Foxchase – Moonlight
In Moonlight, we step directly into the moment when you realize that it’s time for a major shift. In this case it takes on the form of an overdue break-up where neither of you are quite right for each other. Even when we know this about our relationships, letting go of what you thought you…

About the Record: Foxchase – Bitter
Without getting too deep into the gritty details, here’s what I can tell you about my worst experience with sexual assault. I spent the years that followed it in deep denial. From the moment I woke up that day on a couch that was not my own, I knew something was wrong. I scrambled around…

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…

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

About the Record: Foxchase
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…

Hey, Wait! I Wanna Show You A New Song!
Surprise! I’m very very excited to be able to share with you today a brand new song I collaborated on with a fantastic artist called Maneframe. Maneframe and I met over Threads a few weeks back and somewhere along the way decided it might be cool to join up for a track. Maneframe already had…
