It's been a busy summer and fall and we are now almost into winter. Looking forward to the chance to compose some music this winter season and prepare for next spring and summer's tours. In the meantime here's a fun promo video that my friends Trevor Tews and Stephan of Apex Productions put together from our recent show at Guilt & Co. 

​

Had the chance to get interviewed on CBC this past weekend, talking about my music, influences and upcoming album. Big thanks to Margaret Gallagher and everyone else at CBC for having me on the show. And thanks to Carnaval del Sol for another fantastic year of music! Here's a link to the recording if you are interested in checking it out! 

Looking forward to another wonderful summer of touring and festivals with Locarno, Mazacote and my own project! Enjoy the sunshine everybody and hope to see you around BC this summer!
