Your Invited (especially if you Golf)

15 Jun

 

4It doesn’t feel like summer unless you fit in 1 golf game somewhere, and where better to do that than Club Links Glen Abby Golf Course in Oakville. outI was flattered to be asked to perform again this summer, and it’s been great seeing the staff again and meeting so many Golf Pro’s. As I would perform in the great Eighteen Lounge (where the 18th hole is), I’d see golf professionals give me thumbs up, or their wives just smiling at me.

Grand Dad Rock vs Dad Rock

14 May
My setlists always have a good mix of everything, depending on the age demographic of the audience.dad

In April I had a gig per week which I surveyed requests from families vs single professionals. dad2Amazing, the families wanted hits from the 90’s and the single professionals wanted songs from 2002 – present. TweetThis gig was at the swanky Cavern Club in Toronto (no not Liverpool), where Dad Rock folks were tweeting away.

St.Patricks Day Chaos

FoxFiddleat City Centre Spadina/Bremner Street in Toronto. Last month, foxfiddleI was given a fun opportunity to enter the legions of Condo owners in the area to traditional Irish Classics (Black Velvet Band…remember that one),
fox3recent Irish Classics (Mysterious Ways U2), and true pub classics (Blister in the Sun). But interestingly enough, I got dancing from playing Lorde’s “Royals”. It got so rammed in the pub that people were rejected to
st.patty2enter, leaving their faces pressed against the glass (including mine sometimes).
