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?
We were just about to Start recording a new album in March with our horn section -Audrey Ochoa, Allison Ochoa and Kirsten Elliot- which got put on hold…
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Album postponed. Summer festivals cancelled. However we ended up having quite a few backyard shows up vet the summer.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
I work a full time job as a human rights educator so I’ve been busy. I volunteer in the community doing food security and art facilitation as well; I wish I’d had more time to think about new music and art but it’s been tough. I’ve been trying to focus on writing and painting during quiet moments. I’m one of the lucky ones.
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
I’ve been mostly still staying home. I did pop into the grindstone patio for some comedy. Because that’s healing!
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
So many memories, but being one of the opening acts for GZA Last Winter was a career highlight.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
POWER THROUGH! You’re not alone!
