The NEW ALBUM is here! & Farewell Australia Tour (with BAND!) Dates!


Hellooooooooo!!

The Albums have arrived!!

An incredibly warm and heartfelt thank you to all of you who supported the making of the new album. Having such a massive response to the Pre-purchase and Support options and video, to help me get it into your hands, was truly overwhelming - and worked!! We hit the $3000 goal (and then some!) and i was able to get everything sent off and printed just in time....and am now holding it in my hands - what a feeling!!!

Now to get it into yours!  I will be signing and shipping the copies out right away - so expect yours in your mailboxes in the next couple of weeks :)  The official release (iTunes, online stores, etc) will be May 1st......

But for those of you who like being ahead of the rest - you (and your friends :)) can still pre-order copies from my website, and for the Australians - you can grab them at my shows on this upcoming "Farewell Australia" tour!!!

Yes - one more tour! It has been a busy stint here in Australia, but it is coming to an end, as the Summer season dwindles.....so it's time to hit the road once more before heading home to Canada, on my last East Coast run, for the "Farewell Australia - Album Pre-Release Tour" - with a BAND!!!! I'm looking forward to hitting the stages with a fabulous pair of Melbourne musicians (Phil Lyddy - bass, Simon Mossuto - Drums)...so excited!
