In the comfort and beauty of Glen Gardens, a house concert venue in Old Ottawa South, my friend and very talented singer-songwriter Jon Davis will be taking the stage to perform some of his excellent original material. Jon has an extraordinary voice and songs that will melt, shatter and uplift your heart.
I will be playing a solo set of recent material to open the show. I hope to see you there.
As it’s a private venue, please RSVP by email to confirm your attendance and to get details on the location.
This is an event that I’m really looking forward to. One, I always like working with organizations in Communities that are doing good work. In this case, Hollow Tree Yoga, a hub for the yoga community in the Arnprior area, is holding a benefit concert for the Galilee Centre and it’s Community programs which benefit children and families in need.
Second, I will get a chance to open for Craig Cardiff, a singer-songwriter and performer who has done a great deal to promote and define folk music and acoustic performance in this part of the world.
It’s guaranteed to be a rich evening of music and feeling good. Showtime is 7pm, Thursday July 29th. The venue is Hollow Tree Yoga: 150 John St. N, Arnprior ON. Tickets are available through the venue and are 10$ in advance and 15$ at the door.
Joining me at the Elmdale tavern next Wednesday night, the 16th will be Jason Redmond on bass and Mike Desroches on drums. These guys, members of the local band “Slow Dance” make a solid rhythm section and I’m really looking forward to the show.
Mateo Tomlynson will be opening, and I’m really thrilled because he’s just a great singer/songwriter. If you enjoy artists like Rufus Wainright or Jason Collett, you’ll totally dig Mateo’s stuff.
Door’s at 8, show starts at 9, cover is a mere 5$. See you there!
After an extended hiatus, a new 5-track EP has been released under the title “Stand-in for the Victory”. These are five new songs in a simple, paired-down production that comes close to the intimate setting of a live show. You can buy it right away as a download by clicking here, or you can order your real live CD verion in environmentally conscious recycled cardboard sleeve. Of course you can always pick one up at the next show. If you prefer, you can always buy through CD-baby, and itunes but buy purchasing through this website, 100% of the proceeds go back to the artist, aka me.
Just crawled home from my first trip to New York City where I proudly performed at the launch of spoken word artist Luna Allison’s “Falling Open”. I’d like to say the show went off without a hitch, but instead let me say that we put on a solid performance and the in-house and internet audience were touched and moved by the emotional force of this powerful piece. Thanks to the Bowery Poetry Club in the East Village for hosting the launch.
I’ve been working with Luna over the last year and a half, and composed and performed the music for this epic 90 minute poetry show. Keep posted for times and dates in other venues here in Canada and elsewhere.
