Should be fun. Perhaps you can make it out.
After hearing Jeffrey Blitz a few days ago (on my new favourite radio show The Sound of Young America), I decided to watch Rocket Science, which I just finished.
The soundtrack, mostly by Eef Barzelay, is excellent.
Expect to hear selections soon on a public radio program near you, if you haven’t already.
So I’m in a band, and we’re called The Canaries. A few months back, we made a recording, and had a bunch of CDs pressed. Several hundred, if I recall correctly. Though we’ve not yet “officially” released the CD, we’ve sold them at the past couple of shows.
And now, according to Frank, you can buy […]
So I’m in this rock and roll band called The Canaries.
Turns out we’re playing the Horseshoe this Monday, April 2, around 10pm or so.
Now, I know it’s a Monday night, but there are at least three good reasons to come to this show:

My friend Laura Peek is a very talented singer-songwriter. For a good long while now, she’s been talking me about a record she’s working on. And I’ve been waiting patiently since she first mentioned it.

And […]
So I’m in a band.
Last week, we spent some time in Murray Daigle’s MDS Recording studio.
The result: a seven song EP without a name (yet). You can listen to the whole thing three songs on The Canaries’ NewMusicCanada page. We’ll also sell it in fancy packaging at shows, probably for a fiver.
Speaking of shows, we’re […]
Marilyn was my bass guitar.
I bought her from Musicstop on Cunard Street in Halifax. She’d been on hold for me for months, and I’d been slowly paying her down, bit by bit, while she waited patiently for me in the Musicstop warehouse. I made the final payment the day after I got back from visiting […]
Last fall, I joined a rock and roll band. We call ourselves The Canaries. And I’m proud to say that we’re playing our very first show. In case it didn’t arrive in your inbox, here’s the email:
