RIP Lloyd❤️ In the summer of 2023 he came to a show I did in Markham Ontario and was such a gentleman when we got to meet for a photo. I've read his "The kind of life it's been" memoir & realized how pivotal he was in shaping Canadian news, with his calm baritone voice. We'll miss him #canada #news

Stained my front deck driftwood grey & the plants are loving life. This old place was built 1910 by CP rail for a worker family. I bought it 2008 as a bonafide crack house (pic#2). Elbow grease, some money & lots of staring at colour palletes have really helped it along 🏡 #home

I'm headed to Little Britain Ontario for a show! (Kawartha Lakes, Lindsay, Port Perry) If you'll be in this neck of the woods, come on out to the concert. Also, there are buttertarts galore in this part of Ontario. I see many bakery stops in my future... haha. Aug 15, 7pm. RSVP required.

So grateful to be awarded tour support from FACTORCanada! Taking live music on the road across Canada is so expensive (with rental costs, fees, hotels, gas, promotions, etc). Funding awards go a long way to keeping live music at accessible ticket prices for everyone. Huge thk you! #factorfunded

Got to perform a show in Regina Airport’s historic Hangar #4, Celebrating the 80th anniversary of Prairie Flying Service. Fun fact: the 1st commercial pilot license in Canada was issued to a Regina man, Roland Groome (1920). Also I received a gift of homemade butter tart square! #yqr

Feeling lucky - at a show in Humboldt Saskatchewan I received 2 gifts of homemade baking. Hannah baked me, homemade brownies & Andy baked me a Christmas pudding from his Belfast mom’s recipe. Holy smokes! I’ll be adding some extra kilometre to my running route. Thank you! #bake
