European Dates!

Hello Internet.

How has your pandemic been? Good? Cool! Lots has happened in the last little while…

I composed music for two contemporary dance pieces: Two x 30 for choreographer Michael Caldwell, and Note the Weather for Choreographer Mairead Filgate.

I spent a lot of time in the studio producing and mixing music for people and I started teaching in the Music Scoring for stage and Screen program at Sheridan College.

I released a bunch of music with my friend Mikhail Laxton under the name Blackbird Valley

I went on tour with my good friend Donovan Woods and played some shows with my friend Rose Cousins

And now…

I’m crossing the pond to play a bunch of shows with the lovely Jill Barber in Austria, after which I head to Berlin to play a solo piano show.

If you or anyone you know is in Austria between Oct 27 and Nov 5th, or the Berlin area on Nov 6th, come say hi! Check out my tour dates for details.

Live Streams

Thanks to the generous support of a number of organizations this month has brought a couple of live streams my way in order to keep bringing the music of Oma to you live.

My next live stream is happening this saturday April 18th at 3pm. It will be a live performance of the whole album (Oma) directly from Union Sound company, the studio where I recorded it, on the piano that it was recorded on. the studio has been empty for the past several weeks and I have been given access to it for this special streaming performance. This stream is being brought to you through the #CanadaPerforms program, by the folks at the National Arts Centre, Slaight Music, SiriusXM Canada, the RBC Foundation, and Facebook.

If you missed the first one, this past Friday (April 10) I did another live stream from my house through the support of the people at Music Together (musictogether.ca), Shopify, Slaight Music, Arts and Crafts, and Ontario Creates. You can still watch this performance here if you missed it.

This program is open to all Ontario based musicians and provides payment to the artist for a 20-30 minutes live streaming performance providing vital support in this strange time. If you are an artist living in Ontario, please go to the website and apply!

If you want to support me or other artists that you love Please buy their albums and other merch! You can get my record on bandcamp or Stay home and listen. Both of these options provide a way to buy merch directly from the artist so that all funds go straight to them.

If you have not already please follow me on instagram, twitter, and like my page on facebook to stay up to date with the latest announcements. There will be lots of music coming your way throughout this period… I mean, what else am I gonna do???

Stay safe and stay home. Lets flatten this curve!
