I’m heading down to Sarnia this weekend to perform at the Art Walk festival. It’s a great annual showcase of many different art forms in downtown Sarnia. Other performers include Tom Wilson, Miss Emily Brown, and Pat Robitaille. I’ll be performing on the Acoustic Stage (at the corner of Davis and Christina) at 2pm on Sunday June 6.

Happy Victoria Day. And it even falls on May 24 - another good reason to have a drink in honour of Victoria, a model wife and mother. I also recommend listening to the song ‘Victoria’ by The Kinks. But that’s just me.

The latest news is that I’ll be opening for Justin Rutledge on Monday May 31 at The Casbah in Hamilton. It’s an earlier show with Brandon Bliss on at 8.30, myself at 9, and Justin at 9.45. Tickets are $15 at the door or $12.50 advance (at The Casbah, Dr. Disc, and Cheapies).

And on June 18, I’ll be playing a NXNE showcase at The Rear View Mirror (193 Baldwin St, Kensington Market, Toronto). Maybe Iggy will come check it out - I wonder if I can find him on Facebook.

The show with Peter Katz last week in Toronto was a hoot. Beautiful venue, wonderul audience, and great music - what more could you want?
Next up is a full band show on Saturday May 22 at The Sky Dragon Centre in Hamilton (27 King William St) with The Alco Beat and String Bone, followed by a short tour in Eastern Ontario the following weekend.
And on Monday May 31, I’ll be opening for Justin Rutledge at The Casbah in Hamilton. It’s an early show starting at 8.30. Brandon Bliss is on first, then myself, then Justin. Tickets are $15 at the door or $12.50 advance (from The Casbah, Cheapies, or Dr. Disc).

Just under two weeks to go until the May 14 concert I’ll be playing in Toronto with Peter Katz, a great songwriter and friend with whom I toured the Netherlands and Germany for four weeks in February and March. Peter is releasing a new album called First of the Last to Know, and I’ll be opening the cd release party at The Music Gallery (197 John St, Toronto). Doors open at 7pm, and the show will start at 8. Advance tickets for the May 14 concert are available through TicketWeb.
Please take a listen to Peter’s music at www.peterkatz.com, and hopefully I’ll see you at The Music Gallery on Friday May 14.

Here’s a home movie of me singing a new song called ‘Colour Film’ with my brother Johan. Rob Szabo was kind enough to shoot it in his hotel room before the show we played together on April 15 in Stratford.

A few weeks ago, I taped an interview and full band performance of ‘Idiodyssey’ for the program Hamilton Life on Hamilton’s Cable 14. If you’d like to check it out, go to Hamilton Life’s Facebook page. That’s Erik Jenson on bass and Ian Venema on drums.
