Hey remember to wear ear protection when you're playing loud festival gigs!
This was a performance I did with recently!

Flowers I guess.

Looking all stoic for Indigenous Peoples day. Take today to go and learn about the land that you stand on and it's original inhabitants!

What do you think I was thinking about during this shot?

The boys hit Calgary!

Very sad to learn of my Nonna's (grandmother) passing. But I am very thankful to have so many amazing memories with her. Having an Italian grandmother meant that I recieved constant love, support and amazing homemade food growing up and I'll always cherish those memories.
Rest in peace 💕

Super excited to return to the for a hometown show this April along with some other soon to be announced BC dates!...

Giggin' 🎸

Had such a fun time playing at the Vault this past weekend with my group and Mahogany the band !

It was amazing to meet so many incredible Indigenous artists and industry members from around the world at BreakOut West ! I really appreciated so many of the discussions we were able to have, especially in a safe place on truth and reconciliation day which happened during the conference.

Exciting few weeks! I'm super stoked to be at BreakOut West in Calgary this week and look forward to meeting some cool people and hearing some dope music 🎶
Then next week I will be playing in Nanaimo at the Vault with Mahogany on the 8th and I'll be playing a brand new tune for the first time!

What a weekend 😊
Fun fact when I went up to take this picture Nuno Bettencourt said "finally someone with a real guitar!" Then fist bumped me as I walked off. Most of the other attendees had a lot of awesome Gems, strandbergs and killer shred guitars but I was the only person with a Gibson SG. I guess he appreciated that lol.

Here's a cover I've been working on for a while...a guitar arrangement of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Disney's Encanto!
This was a fun one to work on and I use every string instrument I won in this video!
Please feel free to like and share :)
