CHARLIE MAJOR Over the past several years I have hiring myself out to bands, studio musicians and musical productions of all types and genres. As a child I grew up listening and studying many types of music but country music has always had a special place in my heart. So as you can imagine, I was pretty excited when Canadian country icon ‘Charlie Major’ called me in need of a fill in drummer. Not only was it an honour to play for an act like Mr. Major but it also gave me the opportunity to meet many of country music’s finest musicians.
AMANDA RHEAUME Amanda Rheaume, an amazing singer/ songwriter has been a good friend of mine for many years. Not only is Amanda the web designer for this site, but Amanda and I have once again reunited forces in the nations capitol. Watch for us this year to bring Amanda’s well written folk/roots music to a new level with the captivating percussion and drum grooves.
CATHERINE DUNN Ireland’s best selling author ‘Catherine Dunne’ came to Canada the summer of 2010 to promote her new book “Missing Julia”. What better way to promote a Irish author, than to have some traditional Celtic music! Thanks to Catherine, I was able to join well known fiddle player ‘Virginia Schwartz’ and a group of European authors on their book tour. Although this was a different setting than the shows I am normally used to, it was a great experience and challenge playing at book signings and university readings.
SILVER CREEK Throughout 2009/2010 Silver Creek’s drummer Shane Mcewan decided to follow up on his studies at University, which meant touring was out of the question at the time. Considering I had recorded the bands first album, it was a good fit for me to cover Shane on Silver Creek’s Canadian tour. We logged some serious miles, laughs and sleepless nights. These guys are a wicked band and definitely something to watch out for.
