A quick update to acknowledge the mounting excitement as we hit a fairly important milestone: actually receiving 8 boxes filled to bursting with these lovelies! It has been a long build-up to having a 12″ vinyl LP of our still-pretty-new album Songs of Serenity.  Getting records pressed and then shipped takes time and money (plenty…

Release the Vinyl! If something about that sounds tantalizing, just wait till you hear how the music itself sounds in the deep grooves of that marvellously malleable material!  At long last, the 12″ vinyl LP of Songs of Serenity will be officially released on Friday, March 10th. You can preorder it now, and get it…

Well, we’ve had a good busy stretch over the past month and a bit — apparently too busy for me to update the old website in a timely fashion!  That’s how it goes, sometimes you’re just doing things, other times you have to step back and take a moment to talk about things you are…

It’s time to take a moment and reflect on what a year it has been.  2017 saw some major changes in my life, mainly the recording of a brand-new solo album (with many people contributing their talents, it wasn’t entirely “solo”), Songs of Serenity (you can buy it here!).  We’ve played a bunch of shows to support…

There have been some serious delays putting together the vinyl edition of Songs of Serenity – something I’ve been looking forward to so long, I feel like a kid tortured by a big wrapped present under the tree long before Christmas.  Originally, I planned to have this ready for that magical date, but now it…

Vancouver’s largest daily newspaper, the Vancouver Sun has just published their review of Songs of Serenity, by one of the city’s foremost music writers, Stuart Derdeyn. Singling out the album’s “really tasty vocal harmonies,” the review offers up adjectives like “catchy” and “hooky” to describe the songs, as well as one which could apply to…

After completing Songs of Serenity, publishing the book I put together to go with it, and playing the big show on my birthday, I’ve gone through some deflation in energy, perhaps inevitably.  You build up to something so long and when it’s finally done and out there, you’re not only drained, but in my case,…

  After some local airplay of a couple of songs (“Say I Do” and “gunsun” were both spun on CFRO’s Radio Bandcouver by tireless champion of indie music, Mark Bignell), today marked the international radio debut of the new album, Songs of Serenity!  (You can still buy the album here – head on over and…

It was a long slow build-up to this date – my birthday as it happened! – but the show we booked to release the brand-new album Songs of Serenity went by in a flash so that I can already barely remember all of it.  That’s what momentous occasions are like, they’re so huge in the…

The finale to Songs of Serenity returns us to the key of A (the key in which “Say I Do” kicked everything off), and also to the realm of the pure love song. Sequencing the album I saw that it had to be ordered this way, bookended by these two love songs, embracing “Cariboo” and…
