aus/nz recap, music videos, awards, and last melbourne show!

helloooo!!!

wow, what a wild few months!

this past sunday was the official end to the epic australia & new zealand tour(s) with The April Maze and Jungal (well, there may be one more sneaky little farewell show here in melbourne....see below). it has been a fantastic journey, once again, here in the warmth. as always, i've documented the bulk of it, and narrowed it down into snug little videoblogs for you - so you can sit back, and youtube your face off. hehe. and just to top it all off, the 'ball of light' music video is OUT! so you might as well grab a bowl of popcorn too ;) perfect timing as well, as i've just been nominated for this very song, at this year's 2011 NOMFA awards (yay!), which will be held in my super little hometown of Sudbury, Ontario (Canada) at the end of April.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of you here in australia & new zealand who have been so incredibly supportive, in so many ways. your kindness and open-heartedness/armness (hehe) keeps me coming back for more (....already planning my return!). thank you for making me feel so at home, so far from home.

only one week left to enjoy the australian sun, then, it's touring time again....in canada - from east to west over june-september, with loads of toronto gig-fun before i go! will keep you posted on the upcoming shows - and the next australia/new zealand tour ;)


here's to chasing the sun!!!!!
CHEERS!

last melbourne show

i'll be playing one more little show THIS THURSDAY at one of my favorite spots here in melbourne - Pure Pop Records, in St Kilda. i used to catch amazing shows in their sneaky back courtyard/cafe/bar when i lived in the area and have been hooked ever since, so it only makes sense to wrap things up in style - laid-back-solo style.
here are the details:

Thursday, April 7th
Pure Pop Records
222 Barkly St, St Kilda
6pm - FREE
*this will be my last performance on this side of the word until next time.....!
