Is it too early to talk about Christmas? (Yes probably) but, it is always a good time to talk about banjo lessons!

I’ve got vouchers available for lessons online and in person! Get em for your loved ones, get em for your neighbour, get em for yourself!

Send me a message or email and we can chat!

Surrounded by boxes and all my belongings. Taking a break from packing to work on some tracks, mainly because we haven't done them in a while.

This is the ending of an untitled tune... suggestions welcome.

I don’t think you could count the amount of hours I spent in the Cameron House in Toronto, between perform and watching, drinking and hanging out.

I can believe I am coming back to play my favourite venue!

If you are in come hang for an early one, or help out by giving a share!

The fellas and I have been doing a barn burning rendition of of the Welsh Trad "Dacw Nghariad" so I'm messing around with some clicky clicky improvised bits to try in there.

I think I've perfected my little fly out fuction and no fun board.... until I want a new pedal.

s got me covered with compression, EQ an my DI

MXR noise gate for those nasty noises (hopefully cured by a new pick up tho!)

And with a signal blender so I can either run a clip on mic and pick up, or blend an effects board.

NERD.

Couple weeks here at home, then off to North Carolina and Ontario for some gigging.

I truly can't wait to play at the IBMA World Of Bluegrass, then bring my pals to my home province and share what we've been working on.

If you can make it to a show I'd be grateful, and you can hear how I say some words funny now innit.

My darling has a birthday, which means another collage of pics, and awarding her the top wife prize for another year. Reigning champ!

Love you!
