CURRENT MEMBERS
Just me right now!
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 had just released and was ready to tour my new album ‘Stay’.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
All of my shows, festivals and touring plans have been cancelled for 2020.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
Writing, recording, live streams and social media networking. Also, cooking, reading, crafting, home improvements, hiking, camping, etc.
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
Played a BlueJay Sessions show at Mikey’s on 12th. (Performed beyond plexiglass)
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Keep your chin up and be kind to your people... it’s a tough time for everyone. Also, buy online music through Bandcamp if you can and on the first Friday of the month to support your favourite artists. Spotify and other streaming services don’t help us much.
