Well it’s reached that time… the second week of January and the holiday season has since lost it’s allure. Many of my friends and family are back at work; the routine has set in once more, and there’s never enough time to get things done – or so it seems. I’ve been trying to get myself back in the saddle in fact. The opportunities I experience in Alberta are practically unheard of and thankfulness is key.

A quick update career-wise: I’ve been invited to showcase at Canadian Music Fest during Canadian Music Week in Toronto this March. I’m quite enthused at the opportunity and hopefully I’ll be able to get my ducks in a row to allow me to make the trip. I’ve also been tracking Take My World Apart on radio across Canada and now in the United States thanks to Seth at Least Of These Promotions.

At the end of March I also plan to embark on a mini West Coast tour from Calgary to Vancouver and back. I hope to have some more dates nailed down really soon – feel free to contact me with suggestions or opportunities. House concerts are welcomed requests. Much love.

The holiday season is fast approaching and it seems like every passing day gets busier and busier. I for one am looking forward to a little downtime with friends and family when Christmas rolls around.

In other news, three weeks ago I injured my right wrist and forearm and did some tendon damage. It’s wrapped up in a brace these days and hopefully it’ll be all healed up by mid-January. One positive thing to come of this so far has been time spent on grant applications and festival bookings. I also may have finally picked up my first music theory lesson…

This past fall I tried my hand at acting. Here’s the first of three TV spots I was featured in for the new Travel Alberta’s ‘Remember to Breathe’ add campaign. This is the longest of the three spot, simply called “Alberta”. My mind has been blown by the way Sean Thonson has captured Alberta’s beauty with the use of slow-motion film. I really hope you enjoy these clips – and for those of you who knew ahead of time, thanks for being patient!
