Hey folks!

So I'm quite pumped for the next two months to say the least. Starting tomorrow we're heading out for a few back to school shows with the one and only Joel Plaskett! Very much looking forward to seeing fresh out of highschool, right into living on their own for the first time kids rockin' out in front of us... Should be a time.

In other awesome news, I'm heading to Australia in October! Pretty crazy, I'm venturing down for about a month to do a bunch of dates with Australian's own, Shannon Noll (www.shannonnollmusic.com) and even a show with The Trews! A few east coast boys in Australia can't be good ;) I have all the dates to the right here, check them out and let any Aussie friends of yours to come out!

Cheers for now,

Tim

G'day folks!

As you can tell by my lack of posts, the summer has been a bit ridiculous to say the least! I'm writing right now from a music camp in Saskatchewan, teaching here for a week and loving it. Getting to spread the music I grew up playing is a treat.

I posted some more shows and there's a lot more to be added very soon! I can't wait to fill you in on the fall happenings. Some very cool stuff in the works... I should be able to let you know very soon so stay tuned!

G'day folks!

So we mader back home safe 'n sound to catch a bit of PEI's beautiful summer... Nice to take in the beach here. Please come visit if you get a chance some day, you will not regret it :)

Since I've checked in last, we've played numerous shows on the east coast (including one with the Tragically Hip!) and I've taught at the Leahy Family Music Camp in Lakefield, ON. Good times.

Incase you didn't catch our last two tour blogs here they are! Cheers for now and enjoy the summer for god sakes.

Cheers,

Tim

So we've almost completed our tour, hard to believe! The rest of the Ontario shows went awesome, especially Sarnia Ribfest where we actually pigged out on the unbelievable food they had to offer (ribs included of course). We were to Whistler and back, beautiful spot. Found ourselves at an east coast party which (as always) lead to copious amounts of pop and dreading our long flight the next morning ;)

Now a few days off to write with some talented people before we head to Ottawa, then back home! Oh yes, and we just found out we're playing with The Trews and Tragically Hip for PEI's biggest festival of the year on June 30th! Should be a time.

The pic below is right after we hopped off stage in Sarnia. Thanks to Kerry M Belliveau for the shot!

Cheers,

Tim

Another foolish tour blog for y'all with some footage from our Hockeyfest after party set. Cheers!

Tim

Have a look at a little tour blog we made from our first day on the road. Pardon my video editing skills but you'll get the gist that we're having a good time! The shows are going great, making our way! Thanks for all the support so far :)

Tim

Hey folks,

Just wanted to send a heads up about our tour coming up in June! We're hitting Ontario, BC and Alberta and are playing some cool festivals. It'll be great to get back on the road and hope to see you all out :) There's a few dates up now but we'll have more confirmed very soon! Here's little vid from my songwriting trip last week in Toronto... Writing for the new record with Colin and John-Angus MacDonald from The Trews. Can't wait to play the new tunes for you :)

Cheers,

Tim

G’day folks!

So ECMA’s have come and gone for another year, hard to believe! T’was a great time. If anyone seen us there, I apologize for my head spinning in a million different directions... And thanks for coming out! We played A LOT of shows, taking full advantage of the weekend. Unfortunately, TCMF did not win any ECMA’s (The Trews took home 'Video of the Year' for 'Highway of Heroes' but made us feel like we won) but we did take home a few Aley Awards including “Live Performance of the Year�, Tian won “Fashion Award� and I somehow bet out all the handsome east coast musicians for “Heart Throb of the Year�. Quite hilarious. We’re about to announce some tour dates for June so check back soon... :)

Peace,

Tim

P.S: The pic below is us performing 'Highway of Heroes' with The Trews a few days ago in Antigonish, NS.

So I'm still lurking around the city of Toronto as CMW comes to an end. Had an amazing weekend playing with Big Sugar - awesome shows. Also, had a great time jamming till the wee hours with a bunch of east coasters (Gordie Sampson, Damhnait Doyle & Stuart Cameron to name a few). Lack of sleep doesn't mean no co-writing... Got lots of that done too, can't wait to play the new tunes!

So what is really important is that you guys head on over to this link: http://www.ecma.ca

We're nominated for the "ECMA Fan Choice Video of the Year"! It's a public vote, so everyone counts! Voting is open till April 16 (midnight). Thanks so much for all the help and voting ya's all have been doing :)

Cheers,

Tim

G’day folks, Just found out we’re nominated for a few Hunter’s Ale House ‘Aley Awards’! It’s the first ever Hunter’s awards and we’re up for some interesting categories… You can vote right about here: http://www.huntersalehouse.com/aleys.php

The categories are:
Best Live Performance of the Year,
Heart Throb of the Year (glad you think so Barber),
and Tian is up for the Fashion Award.
Should be quite an event – they present the awards the weekend of the East Coast Music Awards in April (which I highly recommend to attend)!

Also, I just found out I’ll be accompanying Big Sugar this weekend for a few shows in Ontario. I had the opportunity of playing fiddle on the new record so I’m excited to play those and some of the Big Sugar classics!

That’s it for now!

Tim

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve received 2 ECMA nominations! The categories are ‘Fan Choice Video of the Year’ (which you can vote online, details posted soon) and ‘Group Recording of the Year’. The 2011 ECMA’s are being held in Charlottetown April 13-17. If you get a chance to make it here, believe me you’ll have a wicked time.

Cheers,

Tim

Happy holidays folks! She’s Christmas again and all of a sudden I find more of a reason to party at home than on the road ;) Gotta love Christmas on the east coast! Hunter’s in Charlottetown was a wild time last night - great to finally do a hometown gig and see everyone out :)

To all XM Radio listeners, here’s a list of times when you’ll hear us on the Verge (Eastern Time):

Dec 23 – 8pm (in-studio acoustic performance)
Dec 24 – 9pm (w/ the Trews live performance)
Dec 25 – 12pm (repeat of in-studio peformance)

Again, thanks to everyone who supported us across the country with The Trews. Tian and I had an unbelievable time and played many amazing shows to music lovers everywhere – couldn’t have asked for anything better. Keep an eye on the website for more dates in the New Year!

Cheers,

Tim

G'day folks,

Hard to believe we're into December already! Christmas is right around the corner and we have some cool TCMF action going on before then. Starting tomorrow, we're back on the road with The Trews hitting up Ontario yet again.

Special announcment: For those who are members of the Street Team, you have the opportunity to win free tickets to watch us and The Trews at The Verge / XM Radio's Christmas Party!

G'day folks!

So we just played our last show with The Trews last night (we meet up with them for another a few weeks on Dec 6 to do 'er all again!) and are beginning a string of Morning Fold shows in Ontario. We traveled right across the country which is hard to believe - had an unbelievable time! Welcome to the new fans and glad you're liking the tunes. Means a lot.

So if you're in the area of Kingston, Hamilton, Toronto or Waterloo in the next few days, come on out! Here's a quick recap of what's coming up this weekend:

Nov 24 - The Mansion - Kingston, ON (11pm)
Nov 25 - The Underground - Hamilton (10:30pm)
Nov 26 - The Hideout - Toronto, ON (11pm)
Nov 27 - Maxwell's Music House - Waterloo, ON (10pm)

You can also still vote for us on the MMTop 20! http://www.muchmore.ca/mmtop20

Hope to see you out! :)

PS: Here's a pic of Tian and I at the Arden Theatre in St. Albert, AB - beautiful venue.

Tim

G'day folks,

So the western leg of our tour is complete - hard to believe! A bit crazy to think we did 20 shows from Winnipeg to Vancouver Island so quick. The hospitality in the west has been stellar, everyone was so kind and you can't beat the view driving through the mountains in B.C. We also said goodbye to the tour bus in Edmonton and are hopping in the van for the eastern shows... I hear most of the shows are sold out so hopefully you got tickets!

I'll leave you with a video that was done one morning we went into an elementary school in Cranbrook, BC. The entire school learned the words to "Highway of Heroes" for Remembrance Day - they also had no idea The Trews were going to show up and sing it to them! Pretty cool. See ya's on the road.

Tim

G'day everyone, Just a quick little update from the road... All the shows have been going great, people are liking the set which is very cool. Tian and I are meeting so many good cats and most definitely havin' a time. "Slippin' Away" has been released to radio across the country (vote on the East Coast Countdown www.eastcoastcountdown.com) and the video has been doing great on Much More Music (vote here on the MMTop 20 http://www.muchmore.ca/mmtop20/)!

I'll leave you with a little tour of our tour bus! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WB2IiSpQVQ

Cheers!

Tim

G’day folks,

A few cool things on the go here if ya’s are interested in listening ;)

Much More Music Top 20!
“Slippin’ Away� was just added to the MMTop 20! You can vote online at www.muchmore.ca/mmtop20 - it’s on the 2nd page of videos listed!

Canadian Cancer Society
As we tour across the country this fall/winter, there’s no better time I could use to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society – and that’s what I’m doing! Under the Proud Supporter Program, I am donating a portion of CD sales to the Canadian Cancer Society as well as other means of fundraising as we continue to travel from city to city across the country.

“Brush of Hope� on eBay
I took part once again in this year’s “Brush of Hope�, a very cool and artistic way to raise money for the Kidney Foundation. A number of paintings done by Canadian “celebrities� are online to bid! Some very cool work on there – here’s the link to mine!

Canadian Tour w/ The Trews
We’re on the road as we speak and still have a whole whack of shows to rock! Check out the dates at www.timchaisson.com

Hey folks!

So we’ve just confirmed some pretty exciting news not too long ago… We’re heading right across the country opening up for The Trews! We’ve gotten to know the Trews boys quite well over the last year playing shows and recording with them so we’re pretty pumped to share the stage with them for 6 weeks straight! Unfortunately Nat and Brien won’t be joining but Tian and I will be holding down the fort, gradually making our way to each city :) All the dates are up so have a look and see if we’re in your town (more likely than not!)! I’ll be keeping everyone updated on tour via Facebook and Twitter so make sure you keep checking in!

That’s it for now… Cheers!

Cheers,

Tim

Hey folks!

Well, summer has come and gone - hard to believe! Thanks to all who came out to the shows, it's been pretty cool meeting so many people and getting to see a little more of the country this time of year :)

We're getting ready to shoot another video... this time for "Slippin' Away"! It was tough picking the next single, but we narrowed it down. Thanks to MuchFact we're lucky enough to work with JP Poliquin (director) again - he was awesome to work with for "Broken Hearted Beat" so it only made sense to work with him again for "Slippin' Away". I'll keep you posted on the details of the release :)

In the meantime, we have some fall shows coming up... Also, another cool announcement that's happening soon too. Hope to see you out!

Cheers,

Tim

Here's a little photo from a recent session at Coda Pop Studios in Halifax.

Hey folks,

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting us on tour! We had a great time (minus our van breaking down) and all the shows were fantastic. It's been a crazy summer so far but very soon I'll have some photos and videos posted on our Facebook page!

Enjoy the sun!

Tim

Hey folks!

Thanks so much again, let's get 'er to #1!

Tim

Hey folks!

So today is the release day for our first music video! We're pretty pumped to finally have it out! Shot in Toronto, we took the nicest day in March (a very long day) to shoot and had a fantastic crew - props to JP Poliquin who directed and Rachel Sellan who made my acting debut quite simple! Also a big thanks to Gibson Guitar Canada for loaning us some nice guitars for the day.

It was just added to Much More Music, Bravo and CMT so if you see it make sure you vote to get it played more! Never a bad thing to have your video on national TV :)

Without further adieu, I present the official music video for 'Broken Hearted Beat'... Enjoy!

Tim

Hey guys,

A couple of cool things on the agenda this afternoon I thought I’d let you know about. First, we just returned home from St. John’s Newfoundland where we took in the JUNO awards. They were an absolute blast; I actually can’t wait till next year! After a few flight cancellations and delays we were lucky to land last Friday evening (the only plane to land that day because of the darn fog!). Because so many bands were unable to land that night, we ended up playing two extra shows… An acoustic show at Yellow Belly Brewery and a full band set at O’Reilly’s Pub. We also played the Spoke Club acoustically on Saturday and Sunday too.

Our official JUNOFest showcase went off without a hitch! A great crowd at O’Reilly’s plus having fresh clothes and guitars (luggage didn’t show up til Saturday morning) made for a great show. After that we packed up and headed over to Club One where we did a quick set at the Gibson All Star Party. Thanks to Tina and Brad at Gibson for having us play our second Gibson Party.

I also attended the award show with John Angus and Sean from The Trews. They were presenting that night so I had great seats. After that we were lucky enough to attend the Universal Music After Party… ‘Nuff said, good times.

OK, switching gears here. We just started up the Tim Chaisson & Morning Fold Street Team and we want you to join! It’s a pretty cool concept and I’m looking forward to getting it rockin’. Our fans will help us out and we’ll return the favor! For more info and to join click this link: http://timchaissonandmorningfold.fancorps.com/signup/

That’s it for now!

Cheers,

Tim

So I’m freshly back from Celtfest Cuba and had a blast! What a beautiful spot – the people and the land. We played a few shows with the Cuban musicians in Havana and also taught some workshops. I definitely didn’t think East Coast musicians and Cuban musicians had so much in common! Hats off to all the organizers and musicians who took part.

Also, ‘Broken Hearted Beat’ was featured in an episode of CBC’s “Heartland�! If you missed the show, here’s the YouTube link (around 4:10) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpM-4MBI7Eo Kinda subtle but pretty cool nonetheless.

Next up, off to the Juno Awards in St. John’s Newfoundland. If you're around come on out! Can't wait to take in as much music as humanly possible. Oh yes, and keep an eye out for our music video… coming soon :)

Cheers,

Tim

G’day folks,

So we’re home for a few days after a long stretch of shows in Vancouver, Memphis, Cape Breton and Toronto. Quite a time, quite a time. ECMA’s were unbelievable once again this year – no award on the shelf but like they say, a nomination is all that counts. To be honest, losing to the talented Mr. Plaskett is quite alright in my books. There were many highlights from the weekend – jamming and hanging with Gordie J., all the late night jams and shenanigans… going for breakfast at 7am after being up playing music all night… watching all the great acts that the East Coast has to offer… and the list goes on.

A day after we arrived home from Cape Breton, we hopped back in my beautiful blue 2000 Chevy Venture and hit the road to Toronto. We played a showcase at the Underground Garage with a couple of really cool bands and the placed was packed! Special thanks to Krista Grant for doing her thing.

I was also honored that weekend to present awards at the Canadian Radio Music Awards and the Indies. Presenting and hanging with Melissa Auf Der Maur was very cool and being amongst the most talented musicians in Canada was an honor.

Our last day in Toronto was well spent making a music video with JP Poliquin who was absolutely fantastic. The video for ‘Broken Hearted Beat’ should be ready by the end of April, so keep your eyes peeled for that. We couldn’t have asked for a better cast and crew – a special shout out to the fantastic Rachel Sellan who made my acting debut a lot easier than one would think :)

That’s enough rambling for now!

Cheers,

Tim

Hey everyone,

Well I can't even explain the time we all had in Vancouver this past week. The energy surrounding the city was unbelievable!

Our first night there we had the privilege of jammin’ a few tunes at the Gibson All Star Party along side great acts like Buffy Saint Marie, Default and Carly Rae Jepsen. Thanks to Gibson Canada for having us and of course for all your hard work! Where the party was really rockin’ was the Atlantic Canada House on Granville Island - In true east coast fashion I might add. No wonder it was rated the top Pavilion to attend for the 2010 Olympics!

The first night we played with Ashley MacIsaac and Quinn Bachand (I hopped up for a few tunes too) to a sold out crowd. Second night, was with Samantha Robichaud and our good friends, The Grass Mountain Hobos to another packed house. I had a chance to play a few tunes with the Trews the following night and as you can imagine the same atmosphere held true again.

After I left Vancity, I hung out at Folk Alliance in Memphis for a few days to accompany fellow up-easter, Colette Cheverie. We had a blast and I can’t wait to go back there again (if you get the chance, go to Sun Studios – coolest experience ever).

The month of March is nuts too so make sure you check out the schedule – East Coast Music Awards, Canadian Music Week, Halifax shows, music video shoot, etc – the list goes on. Come out to the shows if you’re in the area!

That’s it for now; make sure you check out our video blogs we did up for spinner.ca.

Cheers!

Tim

A new video EPK for you all

Cheers,

Tim

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came out to all the shows this tour! We had a wicked time and can’t wait to do it again. Special thanks to our guests who played with us (and jammed with)… Kelly Hoppe (Big Sugar), John Angus MacDonald (The Trews), Nathaniel Smith (Natalie MacMaster) and Natalie MacMaster! Stay tuned for some radio and T.V. interviews that will be posted in the near future too. In the meantime, here is a video of us playing “Slippin Away� on A-Channel News in Ottawa:

Lots of cool stuff coming up including The Olympics, ECMA’s and Canadian Music Week… and the list goes on. I’m also making a trek down to Memphis for Folk Alliance as a side man. Also, any pics or videos you’ve taken, feel free to post them to our Facebook page

Oh yes and one more thing... We won 2 Music PEI Awards! Group of the Year and Pop Recording of the Year - good times. Special shout out to Kinley Dowling (viola) and Matthieu Hughes (cello) for making our gala performance extra special.

Cheers for now!

Tim

We're on tour! Come on out if you're in the area and tell all your friends! Also, check out my MySpace, Facebook and Twitter for any extra info.

Happy New Year to all!

Cheers,

Tim

More great news...

We're leading the pack for the most Music PEI nominations this year! It's an honor to be nominated alongside so many talented Islanders in Songwriter of the Year, Group of the Year, Recording of the Year, Pop Recording of the Year and Entertainer of the Year! Music PEI weekend is held in January. Can't wait!

Cheers,

Tim
