Thanks to everyone who came out to the Gerrard Art Space on Saturday for the homecoming release of Apartments for Lovers!

Sarah Beatty wowed the crowd with a show-stealing opening set and Amy Campbell brought her harmonica and accordion for a few collaborations. I had ten paintings on display, representing my travels from west to east across Canada in the past year or so.

I’ve got one more CD release show in Owen Sound on December 10 before I scale back the touring a bit for the winter. I hope to spend the next few months focused on writing and am very grateful for the Toronto Arts Council grant I just received to help with that project. Follow the process by joining my mailing list for updates.

As I get ready to leave snowy Calgary, I want to thank the folks at The Nick for welcoming me into their wonderful community. I had a great time opening for Martin Simpson. Thanks to Eric at the club for taking this pre-show photo!

My pals at Citadel House in Lewisporte, NL have posted a video of Not So Silent, recorded at my concert there in October. Check it out:
