2018 is slow but steady.

The highlight of 2016 was Joni Mitchell – The River at the Grand Theatre in London.   The best way to describe the show was that it was a theatrical concert featuring the vocal talents of Emm Gryner, Louise Pitre and Brendan Wall.   The band was MD Greg Lowe out of Winnipeg, Tony DeLuca on keys/sax and Stephan Szczesniak on drums/percussion.

The highlight of 2017 was playing a tune on Emm Gryner’s record as well as playing on The LYNNeS record.   I’ve worked with Lynne Hanson but it was first time I had met and played with Lynn Miles.   It was also the first time in a long time that I’ve recorded directly to tape at Dave Draves studio in Ottawa.   After listening to the early mixes I’m happy with what I’ve done and I think the LYNNeS are too.

There have been some great live opportunities last summer as well.   I played Home County Music and Arts Festival as well as the Goderich Celtic Festival with Rant Maggie Rant.  I played with biggest stage of my life at the Ottawa Bluesfest with Lynne Hanson.   I’m not sure about summer festivals for 2018 but it looks like I may be spending more time on my front porch then playing festivals.

2018 is off to a bit of a slow start.  Quality over quantity is always better.   More details soon.
