Hello Everybody!

September was a busy month full of musicals. It was a great run with the North American tour of The Great Gatsby, and then performing James McGowan's new musical, New Life. We released the cast recording for New Life this month - check it out here!

James McGowan's recording, Threads Of Fate, has received airplay, and has been reviewed favourably, which includes some kind words about several pieces where I'm featured. Check out one of the reviews here!

Here are some upcoming concerts!

October 7th - The Prime Rib Big Band is back at Irene's Pub. 

October 23rd/24th - Back To Black: A Tribute To Amy Winehouse. Renée Landry and I are celebrating our 10th anniversary of this project, and the 20th anniversary of this iconic recording. We're bringing some new songs, and stories to this set of music.

November 8th - A Tribute To Gerry Mulligan. I'll be a special guest with Mark Ferguson and his group at the Jazz Vespers Series that he curates with Rev. Al Budzin at St. Paul's in Osgoode, ON. 

The Low Eh! blog has been active. Check out the posts from September.
