Hello everyone! The summer has been amazing so far! Me and the band hit the
road at the beginning of July and have had some incredible shows! It started
on Canada Day, at the old port in Montreal, where we played to over 15 000
people. We had to battle some thunderstorms but the energy from everyone was
so good; it could have been sunny skies! I caught some inspiring shows too, by the Brazilian Girls and Feist, before leaving town.
The next day, we flew to Vancouver to open for K-OS in the middle of
Stanley Park, home to some of the biggest and oldest trees i've ever seen! The
show was great, and we sold out of cds with three more shows to go out
west! Next, we took a ferry to Victoria; where we played for their famous folk
fest. After a bike ride around the bay, we headed back to the mainland the
next morning to play Whistler. There was no skiing,but everyone was ready to
party anyway, and the show was great. The last BC show was in Kamloops, and
after almost getting lost in the mountains,we made it in time to open for
K-OS again; another great night.
Last week, we were lucky enought to open for Indie Irie at the Ottawa
Blues festival. We played outside to over 7000 people ,with the parliament
buildings lit up behind us. I've never seen Ottawa so live before, it was
great!
I want to thank everyone, who came to the shows, for helping to take our
energy higher, and higher..
Our next show is this weekend, Saturday, July 23rd, as part of the Beaches
Jazzfest, in my hometown, Toronto! We play at 1pm,see you there,

James
