These Liminal times 

The world today is a changing place. The things we have taken for granted so long are now far from reach, and the important things have become much more apparent. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you might be able to remind it of some old ones. As our days roll in and out through quarantine it becomes more certain that the world will likely never return to the way it once was. After the crisis is over and the restrictions are lifted, this place will be much different from how we left it. For now, we are stuck in-between, walking through the doorway as one world transitions to another. When I started writing this album, I had no idea how the coming months would change the world. I had already felt like my world was being pushed in new directions. I figured that the changes were coming within myself. I knew that the world would roll over as soon as I started to let myself grow, but kept thinking why bother? The world can bite me. I trust that you will see this in a lot of the songs on Liminal. Other songs on the album seemed to come to me fleetingly, passing through briefly from someplace outside myself. These, I believe, are a part of some greater scheme. Some are dreams. Some are anxieties. Some are probably warnings from another life. Most of all, I hope that they are something to help you through this transition, as they were for me. The times they are a-changin’, and to feel weird right now is typical. But don’t worry, it all will pass. The times right now are liminal. #Liminalbum

Letters Tour in Banff!

I am going on tour!  

And not just any tour, I am going across the country, all the way to Vancouver, taking trains and cars, and maybe a scattered water vessel at some point. 
I was fortunate enough to be chosen as the VIA Rail Artist on Board and I will travel from Halifax to Vancouver between May 10-16 playing my music and some favourite Canadian covers to those travelling with me. Before I hop on the train, I'll be touring up to the ECMA's in Charlottetown, PEI, and then after the train, all the way across the country! Through the mountains, prairies, lakes of Ontario, back into the Maritimes, and all the way back to Newfoundland. 
If you have friends or family in any of these cities, please grab them and drop out to a show, and please please share this around! Your support of coming to a show and bringing even one friend, counts more than you know. More details will be posted on my Facebook page, so please give that a like to find the events, and follow my Instagram page for photos of what I see across the country. 

Without further ado, here is the poster unveiling for the tour, with a full list of cities and towns I will be stopping in. I hope to see you there!

I'm not just about the music. I have passions and thoughts and would like to share them with you.
