New live video for Electric Fence! Shot this right before the last show of tour.

Much thanks to Casey Kowalchuk Films, who also shot the music video for Howl.

The day has finally come to let this thing loose.. Canadian Beats has the first listen of my debut full length Howl, and a little interview.

Find it here.

Hi. Orphan Girl Records is an artist run indie label, & Howl is going to be their first release — first listen will be premiered on Canadian Beats tomorrow!

This is the beginning of something that my pal Stephanie Ratcliff & I have been building together for a little while now. The heart of Orphan Girl is the magic that we all have more if we share & that there’s power in things that might seem foolish, unlikely, even needy. I’m excited for where this little thing is gonna go.

To see what Orphan Girl Records lights up next, follow us on instaglam, facehook & have a look at our website for illustrations of dangerous children. www.orphangirlrecords.com

Bye.

Greetings this Ash Wednesday/Valentine’s. My cover of Neil Young’s Heart of Gold is out today on Spotify and all the other likely places, 46 years since its original release to the month.

Produced by Bre McDaniel and Scott Currie.
Artwork and piano arrangement by Bre, all other instrumentation performed by Scott Currie. Mastering by Jonathan Anderson (Protection Island), mixing by Scott Currie. It was a fun first time collaboration and I’m a big fan of his own music, Kuri. It’s a bit of a different take on the tune, and listen up close for me flipping through notebooks, closing drawers and fumblin keys, and feel free to let me know what ya think.

I’m not sure who decided to not put the beautiful Tarana Burke on the TIME cover, or what she thinks about that. Here’s a portrait I made using only white chalk.

“I could never have imagined this, I could never have envisioned something that could change the world. I was just trying to change my community.” -Tarana Burke

The art collective I have been a part of is collaborating with Vancouver Writers Festival this year and I’m pretty dang stoked. We have created original work based on Vancouver writer Leanne Dunic’s book of poetry: To Love The Coming End.

Dunic is also a visual artist, and musician, and will be releasing a companion album with her band The Deep Cove next month. They will be performing at the opening along with a reading from the author, and short artist talks from each of us at Open Book Art Collective.

Here’s a great interview Leanne did with PRISM magazine

So pleased to be working with these artists, hope to see you there.

I’ll be heading out on an Eastern Canada tour with Stephanie Ratcliff. We’ll be starting in her home town in northern Ontario and ending off in mine back in Vancouver. Excited to play in living rooms and all sorts of venues and see new parts of Canada…
Show info is on facebook or ‘Shows’ page.

New music video ‘Every Bird’ is released as of…..now.

This is a bit of a different kind of music video, inspired by a visit to a tent city that was evicted from the park where it was filmed. I sat there drawing for a while, listening to people laughing, playing gangster rap, yelling at each other, protecting each other, chatting with me, curious what I was doing there. I wrote the song at a time that the issue of homelessness was becoming more personal to me.
