"Every Sunrise is a gem of a song that takes the listener deep into a mood easily forgotten in our busy lives" - Japan Tokyo Times.
It's here!
Here is the the latest video. It's the title track from the album "Every Sunrise". I think the video has a unique spin on the lyrics and vibe and it has a lot of BC west coast love in it. Animated by the talented Henry Sorren who grew up in Flagstaff USA, it's a story about a killer whale mother and child.I'd be happy if you watched it, left a comment and shared it. The song and all my music can be found on my website or anywhere else you find music.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and for your support. Hope you like the video.

Heya!
I'm back gigging weekends again after a long quiet couple months of winter. Feels good albeit I'm a little rusty. Looking forward to meeting new faces and old fans at upcoming gigs. If you live in Japan be sure to leave me an email and tell me where you live. I might just end up at a festival somewhere in your neck of the woods. See you out there!

What an awesome summer I had! I spent 2 weeks with family on Vancouver Island and then I came back to Japan to gig almost every single day. I sold an incredible amount of CDs and made some great new fans. It really was one of the best summers ever. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has supported me on this journey and a big shout out to all the Japanese fans who have embraced my shows and music with open arms. Arigatou!!

Lyrics!
Thanks to those of you who have purchased my latest album "Every Sunrise" and for those of you who have been spreading the word about it. Word of mouth is a powerful thing. I am waking up every morning to new mailing list subscribers and album purchases. So, thank you!
Also, if you didn't know, you can download the lyrics or read them on-line by going to my music page.
After all, I don't want you to be singing the lyrics wrong like my father always does. You know, like singing Jimmy Hendrix "Excuse me while I kiss this guy" or Madonna's "Like a Virgin touched for the thirty first time".
Speaking of lyrics, here is a lyric video I made to my song "Perfectly Beautiful". More to come...
Recording an album in Nashville
How are things? Hope you’re enjoying August! I had a great time. As you probably know, I went down to Nashville Tennessee for just over 2 weeks. After 3 long years since my last album which I recorded in Australia I embarked on a journey to Music City. I’ve always wanted to record there so with a lot of emails and time management it happened. I got there a few days early to help fight jet lag and to lock myself in my hotel room and try to finish off some lyrics. I accidentally chose the perfect hotel for that because there was nothing else around that area. Read More
