I’ve been writing a lot for the past month. I’m immensely grateful to the Toronto Arts Council for the generous grant that has helped to support my new project.

I’ll be emerging from my creation cocoon to ring in the new year in Chicago at the Midnight Special New Year’s Eve celebration at WFMT’s studio. I’ll be playing songs in the round with John McCutcheon, Crys Matthews, and Greg Greenway. Tickets are available here and include the concert, as well as food, drinks, and a midnight champagne toast! You can also tune in live starting at 9:30pm CST at 98.7 FM in Chicago or online.

More to come in 2020!

That last push out on the road was a challenge this time, with lots of ground to cover and time zones to cross. A great big round of gratitude goes out to everyone who received me across the northeast USA and Vancouver Island.

Closer to home, it was a delight to open for my friend David Francey at the Greenbank Folk Music Society last weekend. David and I met almost twenty years ago and this is the first time that we’ve played a show together!

I’m deep into writing and pre-production now, but I’ve got one more Toronto show on November 29 and then a big New Year’s Eve concert in Chicago before the year runs out. Check out the details and some new 2020 dates on the gigs page.
