Friends,

To begin, let's get some business out of the way. I will be playing a few shows in the upcoming month:

Feb 24 - Kingston - Next Church - Apple Crisp Presents
Mar 1 - Toronto - Sneaky Dee's - Wavelength Music Series
Mar 14 - Montreal - Venue TBA - Art Matters Festival Closing Party
More dates to be anounced soon... I promise!

Now on to the fun stuff... Happy Belated New Year! I have been busy as heck working on some new songs, and a load of other fun projects. I have failed miserably on my ambitions to have another mini album out by the new year! It is February and I am nowhere close to having any material to release. So, while I kick myself for making unrealistic goals, you can listen to The Jumper Cables a few more times! New songs will be coming eventually... I promise!

Winter has been kind in Montreal this year, I have barely noticed it. Although things have certainly slowed down since the fall and summer, which is always a bit of a downer. I am going to get started on booking another summer tour soon. If anyone can help out in any way - that would be super!

I was at Halifax Pop Explosion back in October, and did some recording on Rich Aucoin's upcoming record. The thing is an amazing beastly monster, and I can't wait to hear it when it's finished. Something to look forward to.

And that's the kind of day it's been. Good night.
