New Album information!
Hello there! It's been a while. I have some really good news, this April I will be going back into the studio with a bunch of wonderfully talented individuals to record my 2nd full length album! This will be a follow up to 2010's critically acclaimed "Like Birds Too Tired to Fly" (it was totally critically acclaimed, check out the NOW Magazine review for example.... I wouldn't lie about this!)
Who are these individuals? Well I'm glad you asked. First and foremost, I'm very excited to say that I'll be working with the very talented James Bunton. You may know James as the drummer for Ohbijou, or for his production work with acts such as Evening Hymns, Barzin, Gentleman Reg, The Acorn, Diamond Rings... actually, just check out his website here for his list of projects, it's VERY extensive. He'll be taking care of the producing, mixing and percussion side of this project. Yay!
He totally plays on this, and gets some sort of liquid dumped on him.
Both Steve and Sara play on this! Trumpet! Accordion!
We'll be recording partially in Toronto, and partially in gravenhurst Ontario at my favorite place in the world, Curries Music! So that's the basics. I will be updating frequently with more info as it progresses, you can look forward to some pictures, videos from the sessions, and very soon I'll be setting up a fundraising campaign for the post production! In the meantime, please peruse my Bandcamp page and if there's anything you don't have, download it! It's all pay what you can, with ALL money going towards this new album.

I'll be bringing back some old friends as well, Sara Ciantar will be providing her accordion and vocal skills as she did on my 2011 EP Stray Birds! She's really a delight to work with, and has been making me sound better live for the last 3 years or so.
What else can you expect from this album? Horns! Yup. Trumpet, Trombone... etc.... And all will be arranged and played by the very talented Steve Dyte! Steve plays with... well... pretty much everybody. You can catch him with KC Roberts and the Live Revolution, he's put his time in with Classic Albums Live, and he's found himself on stage with the likes of Sloan, Brett Caswell, Valery Gore and Jully Black to name but a few.
