Tour Poster We will be starting the first leg of the 2010 Travelling in Style Tour across Canada next week, September 9th in Regina. We have new songs to try out and so many old songs that I can’t even believe how many records I’ve made all of a sudden. The band has been practicing a LOT and I predict you will be impressed. See you soon!

The rumours are true, I started them so I should know… as of today, I have a new album recorded and ready to be released! Not only does it sound better than I hoped it would, it will be released on VINYL in Europe by Denmark’s finest independent record label, Play/Rec and should be available here in North America by the end of this year. Nine songs, most of which you’ll have never heard before unless you’ve been to see me play live this past year or so, and artwork by the fearless and talented Terry Corrigan. It’s magic really, showing up to a recording studio with equipment and friends, maybe bring some fancy beers and decent food… a week later you walk out the same door with a new album. This post-modern world of ours certainly is a wonder for those of us in a lucky enough position to enjoy it. Make the most of your luck my friends, and try not to be an asshole to those with less.
There’s a fresh new tour posted on the ‘shows‘ page – the Traveling in Style Tour 2010. Every province except BC and NFLD is on there… Canada’s a big place! I’ll make it to those two provinces as soon as humanly possible, I promise… special trip, special trip – coming soon. In the mean time we’re practicing like a pro hockey team for this latest tour… like a hockey team’s rookie orientation camp with people losing teeth, plenty of stops and starts, protein smoothies, people getting whipped with towels, me blowing a whistle every 30 seconds, dudes lifting heavy weights, Cole Woods yelling at the drummer to shoot instead of passing, someone just threw a beer bottle on the ice, my voice is scratchy from bellowing into the microphone, etc. I highly recommend that if we’re stopping in your town, you should come see us play.

Last day of July? How did that happen? Time’s whizzing by and I don’t know about you but I’m trying to squeeze as much into every second of every day as humanly possible. We started a new recording this week, a full length that should be released later this year! I know, everybody’s saying, “Two records in one year? What, are you Willie Nelson all of a sudden or something?” Truth be told, yes I am Willie Nelson.
Tours are being booked, new shows are up on the ‘shows‘ page. See you soon!
