The summer of 2005 has been amazing! Lots of sunshine, some great outdoor
festivals and lots of beautiful people. I want to thank everyone who came out
to meet us and chat after the shows; it means a lot to me. Now that there's a
hint of fall in the air, i've gone back indoors to perform. I just had a
really nice show in London(Ontario) at the Grand Theater, a beautiful
hundred year old venue downtown. My band and I opened up for our good friends
Jacksoul, so the vibe was great, lots of love backstage as well as from the
balconies. I've worked in the studio with them before, writing and playing on
several tracks on their album "Sleepless", but this was the first time we
shared a stage, and we tore it up! Who knew people partied like that in
London?! Our friend, Sabina, from worldvision, was also there, and I want to
thank the people who signed up to be child sponsors after the show, it makes
the night even more special.
Also, my song "Higher" is starting to make some waves on the street in the UK
among certain radio and club dj's, which is really exciting. So stay
tuned, hopefully we'll be touring there soon. I have to run back into the
studio now, in case you haven't heard, my OTHER band, The Philosopher Kings, are
putting the finishing touches on a new album, which will be out later this
fall, more about that later...
