So, It’s been awhile. Sorry about that. It’s been a super busy time. Lot’s of music flowing, new tours, and many other things to come. This has been a very exciting time. I’ve been living and teaching in Northern British Columbia. It’s been quite a change from my old Toronto lifestyle. While some might think this could change ones creativity it has actually expanded my own.

At the same time my family world has grown to include a beautiful child. Marie and I, on August 22, 2011 welcomed Cadence Rain into the world. She’s awesome!

Music and life continues on, lots of beautiful things around us and many things to do. Lots of changes coming in music world so stay tuned. Like I said earlier, more tours this spring, new music and a new studio for me.

Stay tuned!

I know I’ve been talking about a new website for a long time but I guarantee you it should be up by Christmas. Music, Drums, Magazines, and all things percussive. Magazines you say? I’ll tell you more later…

Talk soon,

Thanks to everyone who attended the Cajon workshop at Islands Folk Fest in Duncan, BC. Nine Mile played two great shows at the festival and we got to see some other amazing artists!!

So, Brian MacMillan and I are on our way up to Northern BC to perform all over the Fort St. John area. Come check out the shows, workshops, and general music madness.

Nine Mile is also getting ready to make the drive from the east to the west. I’ll be meeting up with Dari, Scotty, Mel, and baby Kaya to make some music all over BC and Vancouver Island. Stay Tune for the dates!!

So,  there has been lots of things happening and lots of great shows are coming up in the summer. I’ve also been doing some great cajon workshops.

I’ll be putting together a brand new website and trying to keep this one updated in the meantime.

Thanks!

I’ve been putting off a new update because everything has been changing like crazy. I’ll be in a new location on the West Coast of Canada, performing with some new amazing artists, and conducting workshops both in Ontario and in BC. Check back soo for a better update and possibly a new website with lots of changes. I’ll do my best to keep the info flowing.

Just in the middle of a tour. We have two more shows to play in Vancouver. The city is bustling with Olympic excitement. Check out the tour dates to see the details.

Also, spent a few days on Quadra Island on a break. This is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. It’s been a busy holiday. I hope everyone had an amazing holiday. I look forward to the new year and a Nine Mile Winter Tour. That’s right, time to battle the snowy highways of Canada once again. I’ll update soon.

Hi Everyone,

So, the Nine Mile tour was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who came out to see the shows. Thanks also to everyone who came out to see Danny Michel and the Camptown Racers. It was a great month of music.

So, I’m going to be doing a Musician in Residency stay in an amazing town in Northern B.C. Fort St. John has not only amazing people but an amazing music community. I’ll be staying up there for the month performing, conducting workshops and working with the “Northern Groove” team to emphasize the amazing music community that exists up there. Check out the link for more info.
