Toronto and Ontario Dates Booked
January 14, 2008 - Dates for Toronto and Ontario
Hi
all. I'm pleased to let you know that I'll be heading out to Toronto
for a showcase slot at Canadian Music Week. I'll be playing on the
Saturday night at the Dakota Tavern which looks like my kind of
place...kind of an upscale honky tonk. Following that show, we will
head over to Waterloo to play a show in support of the radio station
there. This show will be highlighted in a live to air broadcast which
I'm pumped about. They've been great to me there and I am very happy to
be giving back to them.
I'm going to try to line up a few more
dates in there so I'll keep you posted on further details. We had a
good show the other night at an event I am hosting called the Soul
Cafe. The event features both speakers and performers coming together
for a worthy cause. The theme of this first event was the Environment.
Cheryl Bryce from the Songhees Nation discussed how ineffective
land-use planning affects tradition and life for First Nations
communites. Sara Webb discussed steps the University of Victoria has
taken to promote sustainability. Dylan from the Western Canadian
Wilderness Committee discussed the effects old-growth logging has had
on Vancouver Island. Performers included Jeremy Walsh, Aiden Knight,
Zinnea Harper, Chris Fretwell, and myself. The next event in this
format will happen February 29th so be sure to keep an eye out for the
details.
Thanks for reading
