CURRENT MEMBERS
Just me!
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 at home packing up to fly to Regina for a major western Canadian tour.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
An entire tour was cancelled, and eventually all my regional gigs and festivals were cancelled as well.
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?
After sulking for a while, stuck at home, I decided to make constructive use of the new free time and I finished a novel and recording an entire album myself in my home studio. "Working" through the pandemic kept me sane!
As things are reopening & restrictions are lifting have you booked any new gigs? Tours? Etc? If your region is still under restriction, how are dealing with the Covid third wave?
There was an initial flurry of gigs over the summer, but this new variant seems to have put everything on hold again, so virtual concerts are planned for the fall.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Being chosen "artist of the day" actually introduced me to the Starlite room. I'm honored and grateful!
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Thank you for listening. I hope my new music resonates with you. The connection I make by sharing my songs is what keeps me in this strange profession.
