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 remember being in the den at home(watching a little TV) and my son came in and said, "they just suspended the NBA season!" I thought, no way. It was shortly after that that the world began shutting down.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
What hurt most was the Juno's being cancelled. I was set to make my first ever Juno trip with some performances lined up. When they cancelled I couldn't believe it. It was surreal.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
Well, my lawn looks amazing! I'm fortunate to have a day job that has kept me busy and I've been writing a lot with plans to be back in the studio before the year ends!
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
I went to my fave local brewery and had a pint with a good friend.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Performing a high energy and sweaty set in the basement one year during the Canadian Country Music Awards and meeting one of my heroes, Corb Lund, after the show.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
I know we've been told to stay apart, but we need to remember that we need each other! Find ways to connect, be kind, and don't let fear win.
