Had an absolute BLAST doing the music for this Matt Barnes video ad for Toronto based Jewellery company Clocks & Colours!!
ONTARIO ARTS COUNCIL CREATION GRANT
Arts funding matters.
I'm very pleased and honoured to say I've been awarded an Ontario Arts Council Creation Grant.
As a recipient of a several Ontario Arts Council grants over the years, it really makes me grateful that I live in a province (and country) where we've decided that the Arts matter enough to fund. I won't go into a forensic discussion of the overarching social benefits of arts funding that trickle into every sphere both as a quality of life booster but also in pure economic terms, but I will say that I know firsthand the power that music has had in my life and in the lives of everyone I've come into contact with through my life in music.
Thanks again to Ontario Arts council for everything they do. It makes all of our lives better.
DELIUSS IS (ACTUALLY) HERE!
The DELIUSS Album is finally out! This beast was years in the making and the brainchild of my pal Dan Cornelius. I produced it and co-wrote all the tunes and played mountains of guitar & bass. Tim Abraham recorded & mixed it. Phil Demetro mastered it. Roger Sader, Dave Kiner, Robert Michael Higgins, Tim Welch, Rich Zahumensky, Gordon Reilly & Amanda Mabro all pitched in w/ additional engineering from Rob Sanzo & Bernard Maiezza.
METAL. Yup. I love it.
The Deliuss website has a game with tasks involved and rad graphics and videos.
JOHNSTOWN SHOW - OCTOBER 7TH!
SZABO BAND SHOW: KITCHENER JULY 29 @ SHERWOOD SHINDIG
This'll be the 1st band show I've played in years doing exclusively my own tunes.
Eddie Orso from RoyalFuzz will be joining me on Bass and Adam Warner will be on the kit.
Mike Todd & Shannon Lyon will both be there with their respective bands. I know. Never mind that I'm on the bill, with those two alone, if you're a music lover in K-Dub this is an embarrassment of riches.
All the deets are HERE
LOBELIA'S LOVE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT RELEASED TODAY!
Couldn't be more jazzed to announce that Lobelia's new Album "Love Or Something Like It" is now officially available.
She came over from the UK and I produced the bulk of the album with her in Toronto over a week in November. I love intense creative sprints! I feel like this record represents the culmination of all her talents: her deep musicianship and quirky harmonic and melodic sense, and her super-emotional lyrics and vocals. Super honoured to have been involved.
Get it HERE!
