2012 is fast approaching and there is lots to look forward to…

Other shows coming up include an E.S.T. tribute concert with Mark Adam and Tom Easley as part of Jazzeast’s Out Like A Lion Festival on March 28th, and the Atlantic Canadian premiere of Steve Reich’s 2X5 with Mark Adam and others. More details on those shows coming soon…

See you all in 2012!

Early Sunday morning on Barrington Street in Halifax, live chickens, cameras… you may wonder – what’s going on?

It’s for the cover of my next album ‘Urban Poultry & Other Hopes’, to be released this early in the fall. Since having live chickens on Barrington has immense spectator potential, I thought that it would be nice to share the news – just in case any of you are up early on a Sunday morning and want to witness something out of the ordinary… you’ll likely end up in a picture or two as well.

Enjoy and stay tuned for the results…

Exciting events coming up: First of all is May 7th at Paul’s Hall – see shows for more details.

I will be playing in Ontario/Quebec  late July 2011 – if you’re in that area, I look forward to seeing you! Specific dates will be announced by the end of May.

The record is finished with only design/manufacturing left to go! Stay tuned for sneak previews and video clips from our March 19th show at 1313 Hollis.
