Folks! Holy shitpotpourri!

My new album Plumb Drastic is finally seeing the light of day (dark of night?) on Halloween this year! That's tomorrow!!

The album will be available for digital purchase on this site, along with Bandcamp, in the early evening. You can stream it to your heart's content before purchasing. So hunker down, throw the album on and scare those little candy-drunk trick-or-treating bastards senseless*.

I am very proud of this record and all of the good people involved in making it. Thanks go to so many, but especially Jason Cabanaw, Kaleb Hikele and Ryan Webb for their production talents, playing and wisdom throughout. 

The album will be available on all the major streaming sites (iTunes, Spotify, ugh...the other ones) about a month from now. A vinyl release is also also being discussed, if there is sufficient interest. Those who purchase the digital album from Bandcamp or this site will receive 25% off the cost of the vinyl version, if and when it is released. 

I hope you enjoy this music we crafted over the last four years! Drake says it's dope!

Stay weird!

* This is not actually a Halloween themed album, although there are some bizarre sounds involved. Also, be nice to the kids eh?

Also wanted to mention (if you didn't notice) that all my music is now available on the major internet streaming services. There are newly added widgets on the site here to Apple Music and Spotify for instance, to the right of this blog post.

Of course, if you're looking to support artists, buying physical products still helps us out the most! You can purchase my CDs over on the music page of this site. Read along with the lyrics and listen to all the tunes in the process!

Much love!

Hey guys,

I had an amazing time playing my first show in over two years at The Cavern Bar a couple weeks ago. Hopefully this will be the start of many more to come. 

Just wanted to let you know that I'm playing the 2018 Springsong Festival in Stouffville on May 26th, 2018. Performance will be at The Main St Bakehouse around 7pm. 

Also, there's only 2-3 songs left to mix on the new record. Progress!

Hey friends,

I'll be playing an afternoon acoustic set this Sunday (May 29th) at Christie Pits park for the 4th annul Arts Crawl. 1pm. Joe Thomas is playing at 2pm.

Drums and bass are all finished for the new record. Electric guitar in progress.

It's nice out. Make'r A Laker.

Hey all,

A new interview I did a few months back has been uploaded to the AMBY blog site. Heather Cook conducted the talk and did a great job! Check it out.

Progress on the new album continues to be slow because of annoying survival necessities like money.

Check out the interview here.
