Ahh, just back from a fine 4 day trip in Algonquin park with a film crew and recording dudes from my Hamilton posse. We canoed into the southern part of the park and set up a mobile studio to record a bunch of my songs that the crew had picked to do. The idea is for a T.V. pilot about Canadian nature and music all rolled into one. Gorgeous time of year to be up there and we got some fine footage and music recorded. We'll see how it turns out.
Back in the groove with playing here and there around the province. Casey fisher opened his new club the Living Room in Kingston this month and we hit the stage there on the 26th with Blue Lake Stars and the Gertrudes. Mucho fun. Lot's of gigs listed in the tour dates section if you are nearby on the right day. It starts out with Krista LL Muir and then we hook up with Shuyler Jansen for some fun shows. Cam Giroux is joining us back on the drums for these shows and I can't wait to play with him of course. And I'm especially excited about returning to the Albion Hotel in Guelph to play as we rocked that house through the '90's with Weeping Tile, not to mention that my grandpa used to have a beer there back in the 1920's !!
We recorded a different version of my song "Northern" for a compilation Waterkeepers cd being produced by Chris Brown. Sarah Harmer, Chris & I layed it down on Wolfe Island at Browns' new studio t'other day. Pretty sweet sounding and only going to be sweeter with some drums by Anton Fier and and some double bass by Tony Scherr. And to wind it all up for today here's a link to some fun shots of the Man of Your Dreams tour we did at summers' start:

On the way to the No Dog Jolification outside of Perth Ontario this weekend. A freaky donations only festival run by my brother Geordie and his pals. We'll be doing a mini Hootenanny with some of the folks who played Wolfe Isle with us. Then it's down to the South Shore Festival in Milford on Prince Edward County on Sunday. Summer is winding down and the fall is coming into focus. Big opening show at Kingstons' new venue The Living Room. We'll be there on the 19th with friends from B.C., "E.S.L.". The plans to tour with Krista LL Muir and after that with Shuyler Jansen are both coming togehter nicely. But first we hit NYC in early september to rock it as the Wrongs.
Wolfe Island Hootenanny!! was a blast on Augut 8th at 8:30. Featuring Carolyn Mark, Jenny & Dan Whiteley, Joey & Luther Wright, The Abrams Brothers, Mitch Anderson (singing Stompin' Tom Conners), Chris Brown, Tony Scherr, Anton Fier, The Hank & Lily Show, Greg Stewart, JT Taylor, and other stars of the Canadian roots collective. Alan Neal of the CBC was there recording the event for broadcast on Bandwidth and/or Canada Live sometime this fall. I'm sure out of the 3 & 1/2 hours of the show he got some fine collaborative stuff for his shows. Thanks Alan & the CBC!!
Had a smokin' good time out west at Vancouver Folk Fest and the Little Fest at the Slocan Lodgte with Carolyn and Sarah Harmer and friends. Saw my new favourite band the Wet Secrets from Edmonton. check'em out!
