what’s bin ‘appening then?

I have mentioned before that I have been involved with a very cool Bluegrass project for a while now and we just released a recording of a five songs for both download and as a hard copy CD. The Band is called The Trips and features some great players and a few ‘guests’ from time to time too. Here’s a link to the band’s website if you are interested in finding out more. THE TRIPS. We are also in the studio recording a full length album which is still in progress.

I have also had the pleasure of producing a couple of great female artists in the past few months something I really love to do. It sure was good to be in the studio with some great players.  One of my passions to to record and I am proud to have been asked to play on a few great country music recordings recently which have done really well. One for a great Duo called Twin Peaks and also for a fine writer and singer called Joanne Stacey. Both these projects were produced by the legend who is Barry Mathers of the Cruzero’s.   It’s been good to hone the dobro skills for those projects and to feature with some of the finest roots music players in BC.

Thanks for stopping by and for your kind interest in my music.

Here’s a clip of me with The Trips performing recently:

Here’s a fun video I made one night especially for my wife.

I have been working with a great bunch of musicians in our town in the past few months and exploring Bluegrass music a bit which has been so much fun!  We are writing some original tunes as well as taking some songs we all know and love and giving them a Bluegrass/Alt country treatment.

The band consists of Jesse Padgett on Banjo, Joshua Smith on guitar, Shamma Sabir of fiddle and yours truly on Guitar. Us three lads all play the upright between us too.  Here’s a sample of some of the music we are exploring together. We recorded it at Bottega Farm Inn Studios in Kelowna and we just all played together and pressed record.
