Northern Ontario was full of surprises. Driving home down the TransCanada highway, my heart was heavy and my eyes were filled with Lake Superior. Read more about my tour here.
In one week, I’ll be deep into the Folk Music Ontario conference in Mississauga. If you’re trying to find me in the fray, I’m playing two private showcases:
ROOM 202 – Bohemian Roots showcase room:
Friday, October 18 – 1:30am
Saturday, October 19 – 11:30pm
(please note that you must have a delegate badge to attend these showcases).
I will also be moderating the “Mon-EH! Music Funding in Canada” panel on Saturday morning at 10:30am. Featured panelists include Aengus Finnan from the Ontario Arts Council and Brent Bain from FACTOR.
But before all that, I’ll be sneaking in a couple of gigs: Tuesday, October 15 with Christa Couture in Toronto, and Wednesday, October 16 with Ian Foster in Peterborough.

I’m writing from Thunder Bay. After 1500 kms of driving and four shows (Flesherton, Sudbury, Thessalon, and Wawa), it feels great to relax in this city for a bit. The fall colours are out in full force around the Soo – lots of reds blazing straight into my eyeballs. Up here in Thunder Bay, it’s mostly greens and golds. And rushing water.

Friday night, I’m playing a house concert. There are still some tickets available, but you need to contact the hosts directly. All the details are on the poster below or click through to the facebook event.
