My biggest, little fan.

October 24, 2012

Acting and performing is a rewarding but often exhausting profession.  At the end of the run of the Buddy Holly Story, my muscles protested and my brain needed new batteries.  On that particular closing night, I had picked up my girlfriend early from the airport; I had flown to Victoria and back for an emergency [...]

Thank you (as pictured left to right) Bill, Caryn, Tom, Mark, Jeremy, Martin, [...]

Do you remember “My Buddy” from the 80s?

June 2, 2012

53 years ago today…

February 3, 2012

Today is another busy day in the studio working on the new Human Statues album. It’s sounding really good. As I have a moment sit as Jeff records an acoustic track, I realize today is the anniversary of Buddy Holly’s untimely passing. I already posted this article last March but in light of today being [...]

Hello from Northern BC!

December 12, 2011

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 [...]
