With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
I was in Nashville working on my 5th album. I quickly had to make arrangements to get back home so I could make sure I would be able to return to Canada.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
I had many shows booked, as well as was in the works of booking some touring dates as well as festivals and those were all postponed or cancelled. I also have had to work on a couple of new projects virtually which has delayed things a bit.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?
I have been working on posting more on my social media and engaging more with my online audience by sharing covers or original songs as well as doing online shows. I have been writing a lot of new music and recording. I also got my own little home studio set up and have been learning how to use that. Otherwise, I find it has been helpful to workout, get outside and stay in touch with friends and family as much as possible.
How are dealing with the Covid fifth wave? Have things locked down again in your region? Have you had to cancel gigs, tours, etc.? Are things reopening & restrictions are lifting in your region? Have you booked any new gigs, tours, etc.? What are your plans for 2022?
As things reopened, I was able to start booking shows again and was playing quite regularly as well as getting to record in a studio. I had a residency this past fall but unfortunately that ended as things are now starting to get worse.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
I have never been to the Starlite Room but I hope to one day come to visit and/or perform there!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
You are never alone!
