Today's date…November 25th. Not a super creative blog title, but a significant one.

My brain obsesses over dates (the calendar ones, I mean…haha). When a specific date is mentioned in a book or movie, without even meaning to, my mind…

I tried to write on the day that contract teachers were back to work after the summer. I tried to write on the official first day of school. I thought I might write on my birthday, but none of those…

I don’t even know how to begin.

In some ways, this feels like any other year. It is in the first few days of the summer break from school. There is an exhaustion that settles into your bones in the…

Wow.  July 1st already.  I can't believe summer is here!!! 

And the first little leg of my Summer Tour is just two weeks away!  I'm heading to Red Deer on Saturday, July 15th where I will be playing at Sweet…

I am so excited about the showcase happening next week!  I was feeling a bit stressed, but things are coming together and now I just can't wait!  I wanted to introduce the two talented gentlemen who will be joining me…

I am so excited to start spreading the word about my next live music event!  This one has been a long time coming.  

For the last few years I have been a huge fan of the Songwriter Circle, or Writer…

Hello friends!  

I can't believe it is already August.  Anyone else feel like July was gone in a blink?  

I am feeling excited, jittery, unsure, nervous, proud, and a whole lot of other things.  This week I hit the road…

Two weeks ago I returned to the stage for the first time in a very long time!  On Friday, June 3 I celebrated the 5th Anniversary of my first album, "Flourish" and shared songs from my latest release "Letters to…

Hey friends!

If you haven't heard yet...I am FINALLY returning to the stage after what feels like a VERY, VERY long time.  I have not had a show (aside from some Christmas gigs a couple of years ago) in over…

July 1st used to be a day of celebration for me.  More often than not, it was the very first day of my summer off as a teacher.  After ten months of work much harder than I ever bargained for…

I almost can't believe it, but today is my EP release day!  "Letters to Ben" is finally available to stream and download everywhere.  I am mailing out a few dozen CDs to people as soon as I am finished writing…

Hey friends, 

It is a big, messy, emotional day over here... I can hardly believe that it is release day for my single Impossible".  More thoughts on that in the days to come.  But for now....here is my Lyric Video…

Hello Hello!

Somehow it is already the month of June and I am just DAYS away from releasing the first song from my upcoming EP, "Letters to Ben"!  I can hardly believe it!

Here's what you need to know...

The…

I'm sure I am not the only one wondering where the last year went.  March of 2020 was when things really changed here in Canada and it is crazy to think that a whole year has passed.  Time has done…

Hello!

I cannot believe that it is already the end of November in the CRAZIEST YEAR EVER!  

Today just happens to be the 2nd birthday of my little Christmas Album, "Unexpected Hallelujah"!!!

I was hoping to celebrate starting last night…

Hello friends!

It has been a while... thank you so much to those of you who were able to tune in to my Facebook Live concert back at the end of May.  I wanted to celebrate the third anniversary of…

Hey friends!

If you follow me on social media, you may have heard my exciting news....  I am back in the studio working on my next project!  Hooray!!!  I will share some photos and such soon, but for now I…

So...how is everyone doing?  For real? Over the last couple of weeks things have changed so drastically.  I am so tired of all the posts about this virus.  I know it is important for people to be informed, but I…

I did some writing today.  

It has been a while.  Not because I haven't had ideas.  There's no shortage of those.  Is that what we mean when we say "writer's block"?  That we haven't got any ideas?  Or we can't…

Confession time: I am TERRIBLE at the internet.  Like, so bad.  

If you and I have ever had a conversation about anything internet related, I probably acted like I knew what you were saying, but I was probably faking it.
