October 6, 2006

Hi Folks, Well now that the crops are in from the fields and the wood is chopped for the stove's cold weather consumption, thoughts turn once again to nurturing the heart and soul - and making music. In the touring section you'll find a bushel of new dates for both Skydiggers and Finlayson/Maize. Check back, because we're hopefully going to be adding a few more dates soon. Hope to see you somewhere along the way. Safe travels.

Hi Folks, Hope you're enjoying summers' rejuvenating warmth - spending time with family and friends. Here's another song from "Dark Hollow" called "Where's My Baby Tonight?" (right-click and Save As, please). A good one for reflecting on what might have been and the possibility of what still might be...and... A friend of mine came across this link on youtube - check it out - it's a minute of our performance of "Anything For You" at WestFest in Ottawa on the 11th of June. We're making plans for the fall, and will let you know as soon as we've got things organized. Take care.

Josh and I have made a recording with Michael Timmins of Cowboy Junkies producing. It's called Dark Hollow and is a collection of acoustic based songs that represent the attitude of our sound when we perform as a duo. We've made a limited run of 500 numbered and signed albums, which we'll be selling at shows and online through MapleMusic.com. We'll let you know as soon as it's available. In the meantime, keep an eye (and ear) here, 'cause we're going to start posting some MP3s for you to check out and pass on to your friends. The lilacs are coming! The lilacs are coming!.

Hi Folks, Thought you might like to check out a program that airs on CBC television Monday, January 30th. It's a special about the history of Canadian pop music in the 60s called "Shakin' All Over" that Ron and I were interviewed for a couple of years ago. It'll definitely be worth a look. There's more info about the show here in the press release - read on...
