I'll be mailing out details soon, but I just wanted to let you know that I will be holding three concerts this fall at Christ Church Bells Corners (3861 Old Richmond Rd) in support of the ongoing work on the…

This post is very late, but I do want to acknowledge how excited I am that our Christmas album with Kellylee Evans “Winter Song” was nominated for a Juno for best vocal jazz album in 2025.  

Stay tuned for summer…

You can check out a new album of original music featuring David Renaud on clarinet and myself on piano today - the album is in David's name and is called “Journey” and is available wherever you stream music.

Kellylee Evans' Winter Song album is out today just in time for the winter holidays.  While I've been playing with Kellylee for something like 20 years (!) this is my first recording project with her and I can't believe how…

The big news this week is that I finally sat down and gathered all of our F8-Bit info into one place that you can now check out here:  F8-Bit.com

I've also been trying to redirect my youtube algorithm from showing…

Just a quick update to reinforce my checking in here on my website.

Tonight is our monthly F8-Bit show at House of Targ and we are excited to do an ‘expansion pack’ show with Deniz Lim Sersan joining us on…

I've made a note to update this more regularly, even if just to say that I've updated my calendar for all performances through the end of October.  For weekly deeper updates check out my patreon, I'm switching between recommending things…

I feel like if I just make posting here part of updating my calendar that will get me to update the ‘what’s new' a little more often.  

Gig-wise, I'm doing a pop-up with John Geggie at the Record Centre on…

There are quite a few recordings coming out soon…

I've been struggling to figure out the best way to use this News feature - I send weekly-plus updates to all of my Patreon subscribers, and upcoming shows to my mailing list.  I think right now the best updates I…

I just send out a big email to my local Ottawa mailing list - if you aren't on it, sign up at the bottom of my main page, or here.

Mostly I went over the shows I have coming…

Nothing much new to report, other than the upcoming return to vocal jazz open mic night, at Festival Japan, once a month starting this coming Sunday afternoon at 1:30PM.  

I also just got back from a trip to New York…

Hello - I just glanced through my last update and it looks like exactly half of the things I mentioned are finished.  I recorded some tracks with Vinay Bhide, but still have to go through them to see exactly what…

I had a great time playing at the Kemptville Street Piano Festival yesterday, be sure to check out all of their cool events happening all summer long.  

I'm realizing my remaining summer plans are fairly fixed at this point -…

Thanks to everyone who came out to the CD Release on Sunday.  We had a great time and I got some nice footage - hopefully I will find some time to post some clips soon.  In the meantime you can…

You can stream my new album "Cherished Possessions" starting tomorrow, April 8 2022 on your music platform of choice.

This past month saw a bunch of music getting going again - I had a livestream show with Garry Elliott playing Bill Evans compositions, and took part in the first performance this year at the National Arts Centre's 4th Stage…

In an effort to keep my website up-to-date I've decided to do a monthly recap of what I've been up to.  Hopefully this can become part of my routine, as posting on Patreon has.

My online group classes were well…

Thanks so much for your various types of support this year.  In January 2021 I started my free online zoom group classes.  In February I started a Patreon page to catalog these classes, as well as post weekly performances…
