A couple of weeks ago, on Thanksgiving Sunday, Sonia and I were gathered around the table in my dining room with a handful of friends, celebrating Thanksgiving. Knowing nothing of the tragedy that had taken place, I hopped excitedly from my chair to the stereo and we shared this song with our loved ones. The conversation had turned to gratitude, and the experience of writing this song with Luke and Ian, and our other new friend Jake was one of the things we were thankful for this year. Listening now, I find it eerily haunting and painfully prophetic. Luke, you were worth so so very much in such a short lifetime, and you...

In the day and age of the Fitbit, we are counting steps.
Watching that number rise. #accomplishment #somethingicanpostabout #ameasureofmyworth
Today we had a super fun photoshoot and took another step toward having this album ready to release into the world. Just one step. One measly step. As I talk with people about the fact that we "recorded" in November, they ask when the album is coming out. They seem to be saying, "Cool, you're done! So it'll be out next week?"

The place where the only natural next step seems to be to share that music with their loyal supporters. The place where the hard work, the difficult decisions, and the creative adventuring all meet and a tangible product is born.
We are hitting the studio in three weeks time and we have never been more excited!!!
We've journey...

September has been a nostalgic month for us.
We played 15 Minutes of Fame Festival in Rosebud, Ab (Natalie's old stomping ground) and the following weekend we hit the mountains and played Jasper Folk Fest, nestled in Sonia's old stomping ground.
It was potent for us to visit these two places together, sharing the present with each other and loved ones from our pasts. It puts into perspective how much we've built and how far we've come.
See, it was exactly a year ago (during Pride 2015) that we got the idea to play music together. It's amazing how much can happen in a year. This friendship is precious and the music...

Sometimes I drive away from Sonia's house and I feel like I'm glowing inside... Glowing because I'm so grateful.
WE MADE A VIDEO!
Keep your eyes peeled, homies. Because we had a ton of fun making this video, and we can't wait to share it with you...
Thanks to the boys from The Light Factory!

It's official. We have a name. We unveiled this name a week ago at Sofar Calgary's house concert.
There are so many exciting things in the works right now, and I can't wait to spill the beans about it all!
