The start of September brought perfect driving weather all the way along the 17 to where Huron and Superior meet. Another full house in Richards Landing, including many familiar faces from last year. Smoked fish. Wading in the water at Harmony Beach before playing a show in the Soo. Savouring the freshest food on the Weir family farm in McKellar, followed by a house concert at the Strawhouse Gallery, and a dip in Georgian Bay. Thanks, North Ontario. I wish I could have gone further, stayed longer.

I’m headed to Alberta later this month! There might be snow on the ground. I’ll be in Medicine Hat, Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Calgary, and Cochrane – for full details, check out the gigs page.

The results of the Folk Music Ontario Songs from the Heart songwriting competition were announced yesterday and two of my songs received awards!
Devil’s Rolling Pin was the winner in the “Humourous” category

and Not So Silent was the winner in the “Political” category

I’m so grateful for this recognition and want to give special thanks to the Toronto Arts Council for helping to support the writing of these songs.
Looking forward to performing them live at the Songs from the Heart showcase at the 2015 Folk Music Ontario conference in October.
