Thank you to all who purchased “Smashed Hits”

by zachary on January 16, 2012

Thank you to all who bought a copy of my disc “Smashed Hits” last year which includes covers of Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis and Hank Williams. I was able to sell enough to make a $2000 donation to MSF (Doctors Without Borders) this year.
I’ll be selling copies again this Spring when I take “Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave” to Saskatoon!

The beauty of northern BC

I’m on the road with the Human Statues touring schools in Northern BC.  Go to the Human Statues website or Facebook page for frequent updates.  It’s been exhausting but equally rewarding playing for kindergarten students through to grade twelves; reaching territory as north as Fort St. John and as far west as Haida Gwaii; even making it to the harbour town of Hartley Bay only accessible by boat.
