Hi everyone, hope your doing well.
I played a few songs in a two night event featuring songs of the Mississippi Sheiks this last weekend. What a riot. Vancouver producer and musician Steve Dawson put this together and did a fantastic job keeping a ton of musicians on stage at the right time and in the right key.

Well, I’m back in Vancouver in the middle of the Olympic madness and it’s great to be home. It is unbelievably warm these days anyway. Wow!
So much going on here it’s hard to believe. The Canadian/Somalia artist K’naan along with Universal Music and World Vision and many many others got together to re record his song Waving Flag with all proceeds going to Haiti....

Enjoying the east coast and the people we’ve met all the way.Enjoyed playing in Charlottetown although we arrived in the bus 1 minute before show time as we had a bit of bus trouble.
We’re having a great time in Halifax and play our second show tomorrow.
Even managed to grab a bite at the Press Gang Restaurant tonight . Very Good.
We’re off to Thunder Bay next and...

Hello from Moncton! We arrived here last night for the last shows of the eastern swing.
We had a great time in Montreal where we did two shows in one night!
Yikes.
Ottawa folks were fantastic and although I was worried I was going to lose my voice, it seemed to come back about 5 minutes before the show.
Gave me quite a scare.
Four of us the band are now completely hooked to Playstation...
Rooftops and Satellites
Available October 6th!
