In the past I have been in two rock groups working as a drummer. One was called The Mighty Fishermen and the other was called the Candidates. Through both of these bands I managed a tour of the west and east coasts of Canada, performing at NXNE, Canadian Music week and The Halifax Pop Explosion. During these years and through my solo career I had the fortunate opportunity to perform with and open for such acts as The Headstones, Elliot Smith, Sloan, 13 Engines, The Killjoys, The Sadies, David Henman, Danko Jones, Thrush Hermit, The Mathew Good Band and Sarah Harmer just to name a few.
I released a demo album recorded in Calgary called Stories from the Soul. Since the release I have been added to a compilation called 272 Records based out of Hollywood California called Acoustika Volume 9 and I am currently getting airplay on 25 radio stations all over California including regular rotation on KCTY The Viking in Long Beach.
My CD "Stories from the Soul" has just been added to the Canadian National Archives Library. My greandchildren's children can now hear my music from this vault. This is something of which I am very proud.
I am currently recording a full length album on Toronto to be released in 2011. Thank you to all that have believed in me over the years and I hope to see you at a show soon. Never give up, never surrender.
