Montreal shows May 18-22
Hey guys
Here something i haven’t tried before :)
If you are in Montreal May 18-22 I’m going to be in Fée Fatale’s mixed media show at Theatre LaChapelle. Music, dance, theatre and film with lots of my artist friends. (including dancers from Cirque du soleil and Compagnie Marie Chouinard) Part house party, part theatre performance, if you want to try something different I think its going to be a blast. The theatre is only 100 seats each night so its going to be very intimate to say the least!

Earth Day Show!
so im excited to be playing the earth day show which Brita is hosting. its been awhile since i did a show in toronto so its going to be good to get on stage with the guys again.
its at dundas square and the event runs from 11am and we are on at 7pm. Brita is going to be giving away thousands of free Brita pitchers and filters over the course of the day so we can cut down on those nasty plastic bottles!
(and all the emissions for the show will be offest by tree planting via Tree Canada)
the blog is back…
i was missing it so we (jon) brought it back!
first acoustic tour is done…
kevin, jon and i spent a lot of time thinking, planning, rehearsing and questioning the idea and reality of an acoustic tour.
now that its done there is a great feeling of relief, but also that “man i want to play more shows right now!” feeling.
we are going to take a few days off and then finish the acoustic album, record the 2 new songs we wrote on the road.
thank you for making it a really amazing experience for us…
jon on the acoustic, recording…
so we run…
Six Pixels of Separation
My good friend Mitch Joel’s book Six Pixels of Separation is out today. Ive read the pre release and it really is a great book about connecting in this new world we live in. Mitch was the catalyst that sent me on my quest to build community, here on this blog, social networks and now my own project DEQQ. If your interested in the way we connect then this is the place to start Six Pixels of Separation
still have some songs to write
we spent a great week working on the album and i think we have found the thread of things. its often not till far into the process that you find out what it is that you’re really doing. revisualizing song in a new way takes a lot more time and thought (then i was expecting). finally im really happy with where it is all headed. now i can refocus on writing a few new songs for the album. only so much space in my head but finally i feel the draw of the guitar in the corner. bout time!
claude and his cello…
my friend claude, an amazing cello player who also played on little songs. when i moved back to montreal from yew york i found out we are neigbours. he came into the studio the other day and played on 4 song. it adds so much when someone has so much depth. skill and soul.
A new start on the album
We are about to start an exciting week. I’ve taken a break from the album for about a month and even though it’s hard to stop mid stream it’s given me some space to reflect on where eAch song is and what is left to do. Overall I’m really happy with the direction and i think we are all re energized to get to work. The real trouble is that there are so many songs and only so many hours in the day. I’ll be better about posting some clips and photos of the process. Try anyways

Finally getting better
So I was pretty sick with the flu for awhile, it landed me in the hospital and I ended up missing 2 shows. As most of you know I have to be pretty messed up to cancel so…
AnywAys back to form now, time to get back to the record.
ideas…never stop
explaining how they create the lighting.
making music…the beauty of less
its a strange thing, flows and then comes in broken fragments. i talked to julie today about coming in to sing on a few songs. shes a beautiful singer.
the trick with this album is going to be not to do to much, keep it simple and believe and remember there is something special about…less
ive been slow writing here but i feel it coming on again
life takes you in many directions sometimes. its been hard to find time to write lately and ive been good to myself and havent tried to force it. i feel it coming back, head space and the need to put it down on “paper”. im going to fire up my fingers again. its time…
