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?
When all was brought to a halt I was just finishing up a Valentines Show at The River Cree Casino in Edmonton, Alberta.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
When the shutdown happened? I was in talks with hitting some shows with Mark Chesnutt and Shenandoah. A monster of an opportunity to play along side of these incredible artists.
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?
All the new found free time resulted in a whole new record. It started out as a single or two and somehow, someway it just snowballed into a writing frenzy.
How are dealing with the Covid third wave?
I like to try to roll with the punches. I used rebel with my fists in the air and say "no way, not now!" but since decided if I can't change it then go with the flow, haha! Thanks to Eric Alper, I have an extra voice to promote my new record.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
ATM, I'm still going through vids. Stay tuned!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Keep safe, look out for each other and don't lose hope. This will end and we will be free to roam once again.
