Greetings from The Maritimes, Canada.

We are 2 weeks into our first full on canadian tour. It has been really relaxing! Funny for a rock tour to be relaxing, but it has been. Everyone involved on the tour from the bands to crew are all really nice and relaxed. I have had time to catch up on sleep, peace of mind AND the Canadain music world in general. You see, although i am a Canadian musician, i have only been in U.S. based bands (with the exception of Tinker, but that was only in Montreal, and for only a year), so i have never really participated in the music scene up here. Now is my time, and i am introducing myself and my sounds to thousands of lovely Canadians!

Thank you to everyone who has come out to the shows, and listened.By the way, have you noticed all the amazing music coming out of Canada lately??

Death from Above 1979, The Stills, Uncut, Feist, Peaches just to name a few! Discover the North! I am and it is great! We are in the very east of Canada right now, and it is legendary for its beauty and hospitality. So far so good, tomorrow i suspect will be one of the highlights, we fly to Newfoundland, an isolated island in the far east and north. Once was a part of Scotland, so i hear it's as gorgeous. We are playing a street festival, their version of Mardi Gras.....but in the cold ! It is supposed to snow! I have never played in those types of conditions, but it is bound to be a fun adventure.

The bands we are touring with are both long time established Canadian acts; Matthew Good, and Limblifter. So i am getting lots of good stories of the Canadian road. Thank you to my hosts of this tour, and hello to the participaters!

I am trying to get the photo side of this tour diary up and running, but Steve and I have run into tech problems....so we gotta get Kim to the rescue. Hopefully photos coming soon!

Thanks for checking in, I hope the back to school, sentimental season is treating you well.
