It's been an incredible time for everyone around the world these last few months, and I hope that you are all staying safe and well. We'll get through this together. Let's support our communities, seniors and the most vulnerable.

Here in Canada, because of COVID-19 requirements, I've been self-isolating, organizing, preparing and recording. Sometimes I've been going bonkers, with a daily walk helping get through that. As with most entertainers and songwriters around the world, I've been hit hard by gig cancellations, sessions etc. I hope to be able to offer a live stream series online and will keep you all posted on that. In the meantime I've been working on finishing recording a bunch of new songs that I'll put out over the next few months. Stay tuned for more updates to come.

Below is a new video that echoes what many of us are feeling these days. It's the last in a series from last year, I hope you like it.

Be well, take care of each other, and stay safe!

Here's one for the times.

When I wrote "A Better Day Will Come" a few years back, I was on a low note. I was thinking about my life and how many times I'd been uprooted from things I love, whether it be friends or lovers; when I grew up I moved every three or four years from one continet to another, such is the life of an air force brat. Being taken away from newly formed friendships was difficult every time my family moved, but it built a resilience of character and many good things and experiences came from it. I thought there is a message of hope in any situation no matter how disheartening it is.
