Fall Tour

2012-10-04T01:49:25+00:00

The leaves are falling down, down, down.
Can’t get that outta my head - bound to be a new song at some point.
This is definitely my favorite time of year, no doubt. Love the leaves falling, a crisp taste in the air.
Well - we finally got it together - myself, Deon Blyan, and Scotty Montgomery will be hitting the road to promote my new record, taking some dear memories of the prairies with us.
I’m really excited about this - check the show section for dates/locations.
Deon will open up the nights, and the three of us will do our best Band impression thereafter.
There also will be a new website coming soon.

Hope the fall finds you well - go breathe it in.

Right As Rain

So - Jon Wood and myself are addressing some final mastering tasks with the new record called ‘Right As Rain’ - whoich will be released in April. Dave McCann is working on the artwork at the moment, and hopefulle we can get this sucker all done and let you folks have a listen. I’ll have more and more dates to announce ... but I have a nice little show coming up this Sunday at the One Eleven Restaurant in Red Deer at 5pm. It’s kind of a sit and eat and I’ll strum some songs for ya thing ... but I hear the food is fine.

I should say Happy New Year to everyone - let’s make it a good one.

Show this Friday with Carrie Day, recording news

2011-01-27T02:34:29+00:00

Howdy!

Been a while huh? Well here we are ...... I’m damn excited to be playing this Friday at Hughes’ House with Edmonton’s Carrie Day, a stellar songwriter. Here’s what they’re saying about her new album folks ....

“Immaculate Night is her third full-length earlier records Pieces of Me and Finding Grace were released under her “hard to pronounce” birth name of Carrie Hryniw and it reveals a songwriter and especially a singer very comfortable in her milieu: Day has poise to spare, and a powerful voice that seems capable of wrapping itself around any emotion Day wants to throw it at, from the breezy happiness of opener “Good Day” to the more plaintive melancholy of closer “Divine Immaculate Night.” – David Berry with Vue Weekly.

“There’s a real sense of raw passion in the singer’s delivery, reflecting the sincerity and real-life inspiration behind most of her confessional-style writing. Listen closer and you’ll hear some serious songcraft going on too, because Hryniw has a talent for finding melodic hooks to hang her words on, whether she’s playing guitar or, occasionally, piano.” – Roger Levesque with The Edmonton Journal.

On the recording front ... I’ll be starting recording with Jon Wood in Vancouver in March on my third album. It’s been a while in the works, but I’m pretty stoked to be getting to work on it! I’ll keep ya’s posted!

Keep it on the up and up, kids.
