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!

Music Video - Broken Hearted Beat
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!

Juno's & Street Team!
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:

That’s it for now!
Cheers,

CeltFest Cuba + More...
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

ECMA’s, CMW, Music Video…
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

OLYMPICS
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!

Painting for charity
Hey guys!
I was honored to be asked to paint a picture (to be auctioned off) in order to raise
money for Kidney Research! 'A Brush of Hope' features paintings by 100 Canadian
celebrities on sale from Nov 5 - 15 on ebay.ca! Here is the direct link to mine.
If you don't like my painting (I've come to accept the fact I'm not a painter so
it's alright) then browse through the others. Lots of cool stuff on there and it's
all for a great cause.
Cheers!

Home safe and sound
Hey folks,
Well we made ‘er home safe and sound after a successful tour around Eastern Canada. Started off in Toronto at Indie Week Festival, which went better than we could have ever expected! We placed 2nd place (didn’t realize it was a competition til we got there!) out of 150 bands across Canada and the US. So many great bands and cool people.
We entertained ourselves down in Southern Ontario playing for a slew of children at St. John’s school. I forgot how exciting it would be to have a band play in elementary school! After a great show in Montreal with the Paper Lions, we made our way to the East Coast playing Acadia and St. FX with The Trews. Needless to say, we’re lacking a bit of sleep after those! A special thanks to Colin and John Angus’s mother, Nicki for hosting a classic kitchen party!
We’re still promoting our album so tune in for more dates! Peace.

Album Released
Hey guys,
So the album is officially released - we had our kick off last night at UPEI and it was a blast! We started off with an hour release on K-Rock Radio and then headed up to the show from there. Joel Plaskett Emergency played an unbelievable set afterwards and needless to say the 1000+ people who were in attendance had a blast.
We'll be on the road over the next couple months so make sure you stop in for a show - or even just to say hello. Thanks for all who are listening and supporting!
Cheers,

New album September
We just returned home from another glorious mini tour (if you wanna call it that) of Eastern and Central Canada. Shows were fun, people were great and late night jamming was an essential happening for sure. Can't wait to do it again.
Also in other big news... we're having a huge CD Release party with Joel Plaskett on Sept 10th. It's going to be at UPEI in the Wave (more deets to follow)... and then we embark on some more shows in the fall which are yet to be announced.
