Quick Holiday Blog:

Hello, A quick holiday hello wishing you and yours all the best. I know, it is boxing day, but I have a minute and Lisa and Dad are deeply entranced in the latest CBC Ms. Marples here in the 'Ville.

Have great time doing whatever you all get around to doing and thanks everyone so much for a really terrific year of playing music.

The final Winnipeg shows were amazing and it has been such a rewarding year of playing music.

See you soon I hope,

Big Show Announcement:

I am am excited to announce an Ottawa "in town" show. It marks the first time outside of festivals that we/I will be playing in Ottawa proper since 2004. I am super thrilled about this one.

Presented by Revolution Rock, tickets are on sale this Friday and are on on a special "pre-sale" tommorow and Thursday through this link HERE

This will be a real special show for all of us I feel, taking place in the wonderful First Baptist Church where I first met Howe Gelb and where Howe discovered the Voices of Praise (just a little inside story for you). The show is also All Ages so bring the family if you like.

Steve Lampky of the Constantines will be on board for the show as well. We are acutally putting together a small run of shows together arouind this time that will also include a small Toronto theatre show as well as stops in Montreal, Guelph, Waterloo, Kingston and couple of other.

Stay tuned for all the other show announcements in the next couple of weeks.

Here are the show details:

Thank You:

Hi all. Thanks so much to everyone who came out to the Black Sheep on Friday. I have moments where the jetlag overwhelmed me, but it was really a wonderful evening and it always blows me away that everyone makes the trek. So thank you so much.


Two More Shows for 2007:

Only two more show for year 2007 for me sadly. One with Stepehen Carroll at the Time's Change this Friday and then the big show openning and playing with the Weakerthan's this Saturday at the Burton Cummings Theatre


More Thanking of Folks:

Thanks so, so very much to everyone who has made this year such a special one for me. The list is long and I fear missing someone on it, so please know how much all of you out there have helped and how much it has meant to me. The little train that might Kelp Records is a amazing little family to be a part of. Same goes for the Saved By Vinyl cousins out in the 403 area code.

Ok, happy holiday's off to Winnipeg in a few days,

I Almost Forgot to Link to This:

So in June, David Myles and I went on the "Let's Get Baked" radio show in Halifax. We had an awesome time and we made Tofu Scramble. It is now up for you ears to hear.

Check it out: HERE.

Thanks so much to Matt and Dave for hosting us.

A funny aside, David Myles, always on the hunt for a bargain, bought a huge 99cent discounted sandwich at the store just prior and was borderline ill the whole time we recorded this episode.

All to save a buck.

Anyway, that is enough posting for this day,
