Ten Years of "William": A Celebration!
We’re celebrating the 10 years anniversary of my album “William”, a show, an EP release & a video!
Remember 2014?? Malala Yousafzai won the nobel prize, we doused ourselves in ice water & we lost Philip Seymor Hoffman, Robin Williams, Paco De Lucia and former Canadian Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty. On November 29th of 2014, I had the official "William" release party at Array Space with my good friend The Young Novelists opening. This wasn't my first album, but it was the first time I released something that felt professional, something I could be really proud of. A lot of that had to do with the help of producer James Bunton. I loved his work with artists like Evening Hymns, Ohbijou & Donovan Woods, and I was lucky enough to enlist his help on this album.
We're celebrating this monumental release in a 3 ways, and I'd love you to join us!
1. An intimate show!
This Saturday Nov 16th, I'll be performing most of "William" at Sellers & Newel Bookstore in Toronto. On the bill is my good friend Graham Nicholas who is also celebrating the 10 year anniversary of an LP! We will both be joined by the guitar-man extraordinaire, Mike T. Kerr . And as a nod to the original release show, Laura Spink from the Young Novelists will be singing along with me.
To book your spot, simply email sellers@sellersandnewel.com or phone 647-778-6345. Let them know how many seats you want and they'll let you know what to do next. It's that simple!
2. A Live in-Studio EP!
Recently I went into Lynx studio with some friends and recorded a few tunes from William (plus one from Softer Scissors). On Friday November 29th I'll be releasing the 5 song EP where ever you stream good music. YOU CAN HELP by following me on your favourite streaming site (here are some choices!)
3. Videos!
Here’s the first song from that EP, in video form! It's a medley of some of the "hits". Featuring The Young Novelists (Laura Spink & Graydon James), Erik Bleich & Kristian Noel Pedersen. Filmed by Jesse Yules & Cody Walker, edited by Jesse Yules. Audio recorded and edited by KNP.
