Public show Friday August 1st – Irwin Inn.

Public show Friday August 1st – Irwin Inn.

Jul 30, 2014

The song remains the same.

Some of my most favourite times are during sound check. While nothing beats the energy of a room full of people, there’s a serenity of simply the sound of a new environment.

This shot was taken a couple weeks ago while setting up at the Berkeley Church (Toronto, ON). It was an early morning set-up. The city was slowly awakening. The weather was perfect. A nice calm moment in a really unique space.

On Friday, I’m back up at Irwin Inn (Stoney Lake, ON) for a public instrumental guitar performance. These are always great shows. Everyone here is always in a great mood. Relaxed. Reflective. With no particular burning rush to get somewhere. It’s a great setting for expansive sounds and setting a wide frame, so to speak.

Public Show Friday August 1, 2014 – 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Reservations are recommended.
Irwin Inn.

Weddings at Berkeley Church, Le Select Bistro, Oliver & Bonacini’s Windermere House, Old Mill, Taboo Resort & Spa, Queen’s University.

This summer has seen a lot of new venues and some odd skips and hops across the province. The Berkeley Church (Toronto, ON) was a great new venue at which to play. It was an extremely creative set-up. I also performed for the first time at the Old Mill (Toronto, ON). At the complete opposite end of the spectrum, this more traditional space was filled with history and charm.

If I had to put a name to this summer’s string of shows, I would have to call it the ‘Summer of Windermere.’ I performed at Oliver & Bonacini’s Windermere House (Windermere, ON – Muskoka) twice this month, and will be back there again in August. It is always a pleasure to play at this phenomenal venue.

I’m excited to be performing this Saturday at Taboo Resort and Spa (Gravenhurst, ON – Muskoka) for another wedding ceremony. This looks like a beautiful resort and I’ve heard great things about it. Sunday sees a trip to Kingston, ON, to perform at Queen’s University. The wedding is being held in two phenomenal spaces: The Bio Sciences Atrium and Ban Righ Hall. I’m looking forward to some great sounds.

I look forward to seeing you soon.
