The bitter end of summer... sigh.. it's been a different, relaxing, hot & sticky, and inspiring summer here in Souwesto.. had a couple of short 'vacation' style road trips, but all in all curbed my highway tendencies getting ready for a busy 2013 on the horizon.

Coming up next is SEPTEMBER SONGS ~ a 'songs in the round' concert with Newfoundland's Ian Foster, and Toronto's Shawna Caspi. Saturday, September 15th at the Mackenzie Hall Gallery; $15.00 in advance at the Hall or at Dr. Disc. My wildly popular ginger cookies will make a repeat appearance as well as some apple muffins to celebrate the autumn rolling in. The real treat is having Ian and Shawna in Windsor for their very first area performances!



More shows are cookin' up for the autumn, stay tuned to the "Shows" page for updated info on Windsor shows with Uncle Dan Henshall, and a November solo show at Taloola!

Brown Paper Publicity is in full swing and looking ahead to a busy autumn getting the word out about great independent folk/roots music in Canada - the new website is finally mostly finished!

Also this fall I'm starting up a little CHRISTMAS CARD fundraising initiative to help pay for touring and recording in 2013..! I do have some loose plans to head to Nashville for the first time in the spring, and to start recording a new project in April or May of next year! Here's some previews of what the cards will look like and soon I'll be putting together a Kapipal Page where you can pre-order sets of 5, 10 or 20 cards with whichever designs you like, or with a custom message. Have a look at some of my sparkley cut and paste designs:
