Mercury Lounge

did a solo set on Thursday night at the Mercury Lounge, which was featured by CBC Ottawa as one of the top live music picks in Ottawa for the weekend. What a lovely venue the Mercury Lounge is! A big special thanks to Iswke and DJ Jas Nasty for letting me share the bill with them, and to Stella Bell-Murray for joining me on vocal harmonies for a few songs.  And of course, thanks to everyone that came out!

Winston Square, plus new show announcements

What a great time today at Winston Square! It was a privilege to be able to take part in this collaborative art installation, where Mailyne Briggs created artwork with the garbage she’s made in the last six months (only one jar!) while I provided musical accompaniment. A huge thanks to the Westboro BIA and everyone who came by and saw us!

Special thanks to Stella Bell-Murray for taking this photo
