VINYLS Available!! 

My Album from 2023 “The Waters That Bind” has been turned into a vinyl!! I am mailing these out, so…

ORDER A VINYL HERE :) 

So because vinyls are just so awesome, it is expensive to produce them (and to ship them apparently!) The price is $40 each for a vinyl, and the standard Canada Post shipping cost comes to $20… But look at how pretty it is :D

 

 

 

 

New Classical Guitar Video Out 

Ya… I'm a music geek. I love many styles, not the least of which is classical guitar music. I'm in love with the concept of craft mastery, and playing pieces of music like this help me get there. Please enjoy :)

 

Huron Carol 

Excited to share that my version of Huron Carol - Actually three versions, in different languages - will be released on December 9th! Stay Tuned!

Also excited to share that Ian Tamblyn laid down some hammer dulcimer for the songs! Woo :) 

You will be able to purchase the song here on my website for a low price, or if you're a streamer, stream them anywhere starting on December 9th.

This is Canada's oldest Christmas Carol, and for that reason alone I love it. But it also happens to be hauntingly beautiful, and full of mysterious lore on all fronts. The Jesuit Jean de Brebeuf who composed it was living at the Huron mission in Ontario in 1640 - he wrote the text in Wendat, a language he learned while living among the Huron people. In 1649 he and some other Hurons were ritually tortured and killed by Iriquois.. and the song has lived on and survived the test of time.  

 

Arctic Expeditions! 

It's been a cold summer for me, how about you?! I've been performing (and also working as a polar bear guard) up on Arctic Expedition cruises for the company Adventure Canada. I've played guitar on the water and on the main stage of the ship, and probably everywhere in between too :) Here are some music pictures from land of the midnight sun and noon time moon!

 

Farewell Acadia Video 

Enjoy my original song 'Farewell Acadia', A song about the Acadian deportation in Canada through the eyes of someone present at the time. My original footage all comes from the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia, the birthplace of Acadian (or Cajun) people. 

 

Video! 

A New Video of my Song “The Old Canoe”, off of the new album “The Waters That Bind”!

 

 

 

NEW ALBUM RELEASE! The Waters That Bind 

She's out now! You can stream it on any platform, or you can purchase the digital album here. Purchasing my digital Album IS THE BEST WAY TO SUPPORT ME, HANDS DOWN :)

Either Way, Im happy however you choose to listen! Isn't the cover so pretty?!

 

Down the road, I will be making vinyls of this album (The cover art is so pretty, how could I NOT?!). So if you purchase a digital download and would also like a vinyl, you will definitely get a discount on the vinyl!

The Waters That Bind is a wide-ranging folk album featuring your classic ballad style songs alongside songs with edgier instrumental pairings of electric guitar, drum kit and bouzouki. Each track springs from waterways around Canada in the form of stories, inspiration or tradition. This album was born of road tripping from Lake Superior to Glace Bay, Cape Breton Island, drawing inspiration from the waters and the communities living alongside it.

Check out the songs on my music page!

 

 

How I Recorded my New Album 

This is how I recorded ‘The Waters That Bind’. Not your conventional way to do it, but we pulled it off! I need a break from cabins after this haha :)

NEW SINGLE 'HALF LIT' IS OUT!!  

Happy Canada Day! Why wouldn't I Release a Little Drinking Song on Canada Day?!

Do you know what a preferred strategy is for dealing with incoming hurricanes? Getting (at least) Half Lit of course. This song is a bit of a light hearted take on Hurricane Fiona which hit the East Coast of Canada in 2022. I was there and felt its wrath. Yes, it’s always sad when an event like this happens, but at the same time when you are around a bunch of Salt of the Earth East Coasters who are used to this sort of thing… the jokes are flying regardless - long before and after the storm hits. I just had to put out this single ahead of the release of my full album “The Waters That Bind”, coming out on July 7th.  

Top Ways To Support me:

  1. 🍻🍻🍻😍😍😍 Pre-order my Digital Album here!!
  2. 🍻🍻😍😍 Buy the song on my Site for $1.25!!
  3. 🍻😍 Stream my Spotify!!

Thanks so much, Keep an eye for my full album in July 7th!
