a few days ago, we lost not only an unbelievable musician and songwriter but one of my favourite people. jay smith… it was an honour playing tunes with ya, touring and having a helluva lot of laughs. rip buddy.

another music festival down… if i didn’t die yet then i don’t think i ever will! we did a few awesome shows – opened up for white buffalo at the great hall then trotted over to a full house at the dakota tavern (pictured below) where we had jeff heisholt and meredith shaw hop up for a few tunes. we also did the ol’ toronto maple leafs game on saturday (for sheer enjoyment) along with another show at the el mocambo for music PEI.
also, a shout out to the shaws for providing koady and i with such awesome hospitality. unbelievable.

huge thanks to canada am for having tian, koady and i in. such a cool set up. if you missed it, click this link right about here:

well, i can’t believe that i officially have an ECMA! roots album of the year. so cool. thanks so much to the organization itself for an unbelievable weekend of good music, good times and few pretty wicked parties : )

well, koady and i are almost done of our US promo trip and we’re having a pretty good time. we hit up rochester, scranton, pittson, white plains, new york city, albany, westfield, long island (stony brook) and boston tomorrow. thanks to all the good radio/tv/magazine folks for having us in 🙂
one cool part of our trip was recording for the ‘coffee house live sessions’ at sirius xm radio in new york city. to play in the same room as james taylor, sheryl crow and mumford & sons (to name a few) was a bit surreal. the show will be aired in the next few weeks!

america! my record is available to you today!

i’m on a radio promo tour south of the canadian border right now hittin’ up a bunch of different cities. here’s the US itunes link for ya : ) thanks so much!
