I had a real good time down in Kansas City showcasing at Folk Alliance International back in February. I got to meet and play with so many amazing artists. I've never seen so many musicians, beards, plaid shirts and swirly eyes in one hotel. I want to say thank you to The Bow Valley Folk Club, FACTOR and Alberta Music for making that experience possible for me. It opened my mind to a lot of career and musical goals to be working on. It also allowed me to connect with some amazing people that I look forward to continue to work with.
I've been slowly making my move from Edmonton down to Calgary and enjoying a few month in my hometown Lacombe, Alberta. It's beautiful not being in the city and it has allowed me to clear my mind and write more. I think everyone would benefit from slowing down and spending more time looking out into open fields and just listening to the wind.
As much as I've enjoyed playing and touring as a solo act, I'm really looking forward to performing as a trio in the upcoming festival season here in Alberta. I'll be joined by Harry Gregg on upright bass and Trevor McNeely on lap steel. Harry produced my latest live-off-the-floor album at Riverdale Recorders in Edmonton and Trevor is a young seasoned instrumentalist and songwriter from Edmonton. Video footage coming soon.
I'm hanging out in sunny Calgary this weekend at Juno Fest! and I've gotta say, the Canadian music scene is rich and inspiring. Let's keep it lively and growing 'eryone!
