An amazing week working at the gorgeous Farm Studios. Home of Gggarth Richardson, his darling wife Jennifer and sweet pup Cooper. I very seldom (if at all) have the chance to re-sing  tracks I’ve recorded in the past.  It was a real treat to be inspired by the amazing sounds created by our dear musicians and to relax into some vocals, harmonies and ideas that have been rolling around in my brain for years.

This second collection of songs are so precious with plenty of hope for humanity and our planet. I now get the job of RE-Branding and marketing the next chapter of my musical journey. Figuring out the NEW music biz with streaming, stories, reels, tik tok, playlists, podcasts…..and fractions of pennies. Tossing around words like Sacred, Earth Songs, Spiritual, New Age, Cosmic and more Stay tuned!

Gibsons Jazz Festival and BEYOND  was a huge success this year.  I thought I’d play a little catch up on my busy spring, early summer.  I had the pleasure of reuniting with my beloved Hotties (MIchael Dunn, Don Kellett, Mark Dowding, Tom Neville and Joe Bourchier) for a dance with an hour of swing instruction kicking off the fun.  Though Deanna Knight & the Hot Club of Mars play much much less these days, after over 2 decades of playing together…. it all comes flooding back in fabulous songs and the almighty CHUG CHUG CHUG!

Our 3 days at Union Sound Studio in Toronto was a huge success. My new collection of songs were realized in the most wonderful way with lush sounds and cool grooves. #dreamteam for realz baby! Big thnx to Les Cooper (Good Lovelies, Jill Barber…) who is working away on our tracks as engineer, mixer and co-producer. Simon Kendall (Doug and the Slugs, Jim Byrns…) traveled with me from Vancouver and layed down amazing piano, Hammond and Wurlitzer organ. The outstanding Davide DiRenzo (Feist, Anne Murray, Mariah Carey…) shared his magical percussive chops AND returning from my first record Shadow of a Star, my all-time fav bassman George Koller (Holly Cole, Loreena McKennitt) brought the special sauce that only his heart and talent can bring. Wow – what an experience. I can’t wait to share these songs with you all. 11 tracks are cooking up real nice Hopefully a late 2023 release but with how records are released these days, it may end up early 2024. Want to be sure we do it right with algorithms, socials, streaming and all. My new site will have presales and a variety of ways to get involved.

A beautiful collection of musicians, singers and dancers. Various styles of music with roots in a few different countries. From Latin with some intricate flamenco stylings to a little swamp water Jazz, heartfelt female vocalists, African drumming by Jean-Pierre Makosso!  We are so pleased to collaborate with him and all the fantastic musicians: Deanna Knight, Simbi, Levi Perjue, of Silver Moon Gallery, and Bradley Wells!  Creative Dance is special because the music and the moment lead it. You may recognize aspects of many dance styles in it as the dancers are free to express fully without limits or specifications in the design. It is alive, moved by the moment, the MUSIC, and all the energy in it. That includes your energy as you delight in the music and dance performance. Gabriel will dance a variety of dance forms, some creative dance his mother and producer of this show.

Just ordered these little gems for the summer season. Perfect for your water bottle, guitar case, journal …etc. I tweaked my new shield logo and since the Hotties reunite for the Gibsons Jazz Festival on June 24th, I thought I would run a few of our popular stickers from years ago. Yes, that is long legged cartoon me with a waistline… I’m not sure I ever had.

After seeing the quality of our 1st annual Sunshine Shakedown stickers from last wknd, I was inspired to reach out to Jukebox Box Print in Vancouver.
Quality vinyl, fast turn around and some fun eco choices.
