It was a truly memorable experience. The band and I survived a full 15 hours in the car together on the drive home and we're all still talking ;)<img style="float: left; margiRead More...

I took some time to go hiking in the woods and unplug from my little lap top for a few days. The fresh air was brilliant and I'm back in the city and the swing of things. I had such a wonderful time playing at Hugh's Room. The vibe was really lovely and we managed to raise $850 for MSF in support of the relief work they are providing in Haiti. Thank you for making that happen. I'm in the process of preparing to head to Quebec next week where IRead More...

This does not mean you can't still get in - it's just that you have to stand. All the seats are gone. I've seen a few shows at Hugh's standing by the bar and had a jolly good time. I'm so excited to play at this venue. I was living in the neighborhood when Hugh's first open and have been going for years ... it's going to be brilliant! The only thing I have to do is get over this cold I woke up with this morning - ick!Read More...

I've managed to catch my first cold of the season and went into a Niquil-induced comma last night that was hard to rise out of today. But like a phoenix from the ashes, and with giant blocked sinuses - here I am. I'm doing an interview over the phone today with the Globe and Mail. Phone interviews make me a Read More...

I saw one of the best shows of my life last night. I was blessed to get in to see Leon Redbone at Hugh's Room. If you aren't&nbsp;familiar&nbsp;with this man, I highly recommend you look him up.
