hi friends.
what is the what?

Pop Montreal is coming up, and we have an amazing slot in the festival.
we will be playing at the new Jazz Festival venue, l'Astral.
it's a BEAUTIFUL new room that hosts all kinds of music.... and lots of jazz.
but don't expect any David Martel Trio ensemble or anything of the sort.
it's going to be me and The Friend Ship doing what we love best... taking showers.

this is gonna be the grand!

SO MUCH has been going on, it's been hard to keep up... ZAAANG!!!

last week, i got back from the U.S. tour.
SXSW in Austin, TX was CRAZY!

there are some pictures up to give you an idea of what was going on there.
have a look!

opening for AC Newman in Cleveland was an amazing opportunity.

we're now best of friends.
i'm
hoping to go on a fishing trip with him this summer... but i don't know
where he lives.... or if he even likes fishing, so i guess that could
prove problematic.
if you haven't heard his music... it's amazing!

i love his new record, Get Guilty.
check him out at http://www.acnewman.net/

there
are a couple of great radio thingys that were done by me and The Friend
Ship, and they're up RIGHT NOW for your listening pleasure.

me and kristina (cello) did a performance for Espace Musique last week.
(Espace Musique is basically the french CBC Radio 2 station.... 100.7 FM in Montreal.)
http://www.radio-canada.ca/..espace_musique/animateurs.asp?..numero=742

click on: emission du 1 avril 2009

also

me and the whole entire cast of The Friend Ship did a performance at CBC Studios for Routes Montreal on CBC Radio 2.
it was recorded last Fall, and is now available for listenings.

before anything...
i'm really excited to announce that the video for The End of Self is ready and DONE!

The Friend Ship and i had a blast putting this together.
we worked with my new friend, director Michael Lalancette, and his crew.

we're all really proud of it!
the whole experience was intense... last minute... and so much fun, from start to finish!

CHECK IT OUT!!

okay..
so what else?

uh.... what a crazy New York week this was!

i was back and forth to the Big Apple TWICE.

i was at Blender Theatre this past tuesday opening for PT Walkley. http://ptwalkley.com/
drove back to montreal wednesday morning.... got caught in that rancid snowstorm that hit pretty much everywhere between NYC and Montreal.

then i drove back on saturday evening so i could lead worship the next morning with my wonderful friends at Glad Tidings Tabernacle. http://www.gladtidingsnyc.com/
that night i performed at Rockwood Music Hall. http://www.rockwoodmusichall.com
(what a great venue!)
drove back to montreal the monday afternoon with cello player, Marianne Houle.
hope the old car can handle all the mileage i've been putting on it!

PHEW!

now i'm back home.
good to be back in montreal...
