This was the band's first appearance at the George, a new venue that is just beginning to promote live music. The beautiful dark wood decor and stained glass gives the place a cozy, classic atmosphere. We had a blast playing this room - the owners are awesome, and bought a bunch of my CD's to pass around their customers. Feels like home already! Plus, the yam fries are addictive. We'll definitely be back for more shows here.

Feb 26 through Mar 1, 2009: ECMA Discovery Stage in Corner Brook NL

Had the honour and pleasure of performing during the East Coast Music Awards week in Corner Brook Newfoundland...what a hoot! Performed 3 times on the Discovery Stage there, along with numerous open-mics, radio/TV interviews, and all-nighters jamming with some of Canada's best singer/songwriters. This was certainly one of the best musical adventures of my life! Made some incredible connections - it was definitely everything I'd hoped for and then some!

Saturday, Jan 10, 2009: Ironwood Stage in Calgary

Played to a sold out room at Ironwood in a cold Saturday in January - what a fantastic show. Tim Leacock, Kit Johnson, and Pat Phillips were unbelievably great, and we had the room up dancing all night. There are some great videos of the show posted on this website in the Photos and Videos section.

Saturday, Aug 23, 2008 CD RELEASE SHOW "Mikey's Juke Joint" in Calgary

The second of our two Calgary CD Release Shows, this show featured a 4-piece band that included Peter Marley, Danny Patton, Kenton MacDonald, and Graham (Willie) Ross. I performed on vocals/rhythm guitar, and the band was especially tight - Kenton even nailed the tempo changes in One More Time! This was the first time we performed with Graham on pedal steel, and he treated us to a couple of his classic Willie Nelson covers as well! The room was packed, and the crowd response was excellent. For location details visit Mikey's website.

Saturday, Aug 16, 2008 CD RELEASE at "Ironwood Stage and Grill" in Calgary

This was an amazing show, and we managed to pack the Ironwood on a Saturday night on their slowest month of the year! This was largely due to excellent support from CBC and CKUA for playing my songs, the Calgary Herald (thanks to writer Mary-Lynn Wardle) for their feature story that ran the day of the show, and to my poster boy hubby who spread the word everywhere. It was also excellent to have pretty well the whole band from the Rolling wind CD - including Ron Casat (keyboards) and Charlie Veilleux (pedal steel). Rounding out the band was Peter Marley (lead guitar), Garry Gelhorn (drums) and Stefano Valdo (upright bass). For location details visit Ironwood's website.

Friday, August 8, 2008 at "San Carlos Caffee" in Okotoks, AB

This was a cozy show in a beautiful live music Cafe in Okotoks. We performed as a trio with myself, Peter Marley, and Stefano. It was the first show I'd played with Stefano, and he was excellent! San Carlos was evidently very happy - the owner, Aaron Brown said he loved the CD and had been anticipating the show for weeks! Another staff member said it was the best show they'd had in the whole year she'd worked at San Carlos.

Friday and Saturday, July 4 & 5, 2008 at "Auditorium Hotel" in Nanton, AB

These were our first shows of Stampede, and we played out in the old-west town of Nanton, AB! On stage with me were Gord Bregg (electric bass - and my old friend from the Men of Constant Sorrow), Ron Lukiv (lead guitar) and Kenton MacDonald (drums). This was the first time I'd played with these fellows as a group - but they'd performed many times together supporting Don Uzwak of Blueswak, so they made a very tight band.

Thursday, July 17 2008 at "Sessions Cafe" in Rothesay, NB

This was the first maritime show I'd played, and it gave me the chance to perform for my mother and two sisters, who'd never seen the show before, along with many more friends and family members. Steve Zaat, a Saint John based singer/songwriter/guitar player performed on guitar with me. He also treated us to a couple of his songs, including "Joy and Pain" which I had just learned that day, and performed with him on harmony vocals. I also took the opportunity to sing two songs written by my mother - which went over fantastically well - and made my mother beam!! For location details visit Sessions Cafe's website.

Saturday, June 27th, 2008 at "Carlson's on Macleod" in High River, AB

A fantastic show at a beautiful live music room in High River. Despite being the long weekend, and out of town, the room was nearly full thanks to many supportive friends, fans and family! I performed on both rhythm guitar and keyboard and was accompanied by Danny Patton on bass, and Peter Marley on lead guitar. The owners of the cafe, Don and Brenda Carlson, were wonderful hosts, and the sound in the room was spot-on. For location details visit Carlson's website.
