Rocking and rolling, again
According to thecanaries.ca, we’re playing a couple of shows in the next little while:
23 Feb 2008 @ The Smiling Buddha Bar
4 Apr 2008 @ Clinton’s
Should be fun. Perhaps you can make it out.
Rocket Science
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.
The Canaries are now on iTunes
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 [...]
The Canaries play the Horseshoe
So I’m in this rock and roll band called The Canaries.

New songs from Laura Peek
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.
Luckily, it seems that the wait will soon be over. According to her blog, the new CD will likely come out [...]
“Send him the money. Thank me later.”
They night after I moved to Toronto, my friend Laura took me to Graffiti’s in Kensington to see Kevin Quain play. It was a Monday, I remember. Earlier that evening we watched the sun go down and the city light up from the top deck of a ferry on its way back from Centre Island.
And [...]
Rock and Roll news
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 [...]
Goodbye Marilyn
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 [...]
