I will be in Newfoundland this Canada Day; but across the land, lots of folks will be "Singing for their Songs".
A little bird told me Stuart McLean will be singing a few bars of Firewatch during this show.
Here are some Details: The second annual Sing For Your SongCanada Day special
– CBC Radio One. Join Amanda Putz and Grant Lawrence from 4 to 6 p.m. local times (4:30-6:30 p.m. NL).
Listeners and CBC personalities across the country phoned into our voicemail to request their favourite Canadian songs to sing along to. The trick is: they had to sing their requests. We'll hear CBC Radio 2 Tempo host Julie Nesrallah's stunning Joni Mitchell rendition, Vinyl Cafe's Stuart McLean singing Jim Bryson, Kathleen Petty and Don Newman doing Four Strong Winds... together, as well as various listeners singing for Joel Plaskett, Sarah McLachlan, and more! Grant Lawrence also released the Radio 3 podcast version on June 26th!

It is my ONLY show of the summer and I got's myself a trio to do it.
Tuesday July 7th at the Company House in Halifax I will be playing a show with Benn Ross on Drums and Lucas Pearce on the basso. Tanys Davis will open and it looks to be grand low key affair.
