westfest and upcoming shows
westfest, as always, was a pleasure to play and super fun. for those who missed it, dave was asked to put a set together for a sunday evening show. while we didn't get in all the songs we hoped due to time constraints, it was a great pleasure to share the stage with such incredible talent. it was the first time i'd played with jill, christine and jerusha...and i was blown away by their powerful voices.
did they ever make my songs sound good, huh?
.: striking a ghostly pose over dave, jill, christine and jerusha :.
here's a clip of jill's gorgeous song, reconcile.
oh, by the way, i've got a couple of upcoming shows. i'm playing solo with alberta pals lorrie matheson and mark davis @ raw sugar on thursday july 2nd. then camp radio is in at the fine kaffe 1870 up in wakfield QC on saturday july 4th.

kelp records 15th anniversary party this weekend!
as the buds are exploding on trees over here and i'm cranked up on lack of sleep and too much coffee, i figured it was about time i get to updating this blog.
it's kelp anniversary time folks, when i know it is truly time to usher in spring! And there is SO much going on this week:
.: damn i love this poster :.
as you can see, camp radio is playing at the elmdale on friday night. i'm playing solo on saturday at the carleton tavern and with rhume at the gluepot saturday night. sleep? hell with it.
you should really get your passes ASAP here. i hear they're flying...
.: rolfster and jb: random alley shot :.
get all the details over at kelp, including show stuff, off-the-beaten-track and after-last-call activities as well as this year's cause of choice: ride to conquer cancer (it's true! matt and liz will be stationary biking during each show!)
the new kelp sampler, kelp 15, is also streaming off the home page, so be sure to give it a listen.
well allright! i guess i'll see you all at the shows...

the austin texas recovery
.: at the hold steady, feeling fairly steady :.
okay so i think i'm fully recovered from sxsw. what was that, 4 days recovery time? not bad. hi-lites for me? they are far too many to list here. ask me over a beer. regrets? 5000 shows in 4 days is an awful lot to take in, so yes i missed a few and yes, i have regrets.
but man, what a great time.
i suppose i should get a flickr account or something and share some memories. i know. facebook too. how the hell do you people have time to update all this stuff! ;)
i'm loving twitter at the moment, so feel free to find me there. its rapid-fire-concise-no-time-to-waste blogging for those of you still curious. perfect.
KELP TURNS 15: keep the last weekend of april open! april 30th the music flood gates open. prez jon has lots up his indie sleeves so you don't want to miss a thing. i'll be playing a solo set (somewhere) of sure to be legendary gems (sometime - ha!) and camp radio will make an appearance, drunk on new material.
there's a new kelp 15 comp out and it's really wicked. i have a non-new-album track called 'calling all kids reunion' on there and camp radio contributed 'cracked up to be'. there's a ton of other great numbers from kelp artists and friends...be sure to grab one before the big weekend.

camp radio back in the studio
.: dave heading to the moon room with jb, higs, civ and page :.
i'm happy to report that camp radio took major strides toward a brand new album this past weekend. 8 beds are down and 1 is finished, mixed and destined for the kelp records 15th anniversary comp due out this spring.
.: estee guards the drum troll room post smoke break :.
the comp track is a cool departure, i think. title TBD, though 'last minute comp track' seems to be the current choice (read: joke).
there are 6 more to add to the 8 in the coming weeks. we'll see how the indie rock ditch digging goes and if we can't wrap it all up by summer.
my solo record 'a date with a smoke machine' is currently being mastered by the good lads at little bullhorn. we're still targeting a mid-spring release on kelp and saved by vinyl.

in a cabin with...
.: check out the new myspace page here :.
on feb. 9th i'm playing a set as part of the dutch music recording project called 'in a cabin with'.
it's a pretty cool event that mashes up artists from the netherlands and the project's host country. the dutch musicians seek out cool and idyllic locales around the world and spend time holed up in a makeshift recording studio.
it's a fascinating project and i'm looking forward to hearing more.
from what i understand the mercury lounge show is a showcase of what's going on here in ottawa as part of the canadian leg of the project.
will be fun!
monday, february 9th: mercury lounge, 56 byward market sq., ottawa.
