Everyshow you get requests from the audience, some are great, some are just down-right bizarre. For instance, I now have a monthly engagement at Bier Markt at Shops at Don Mills. Everytime I’ve play there, someone requests Bruno Mars (I decline, but give them the more pleasing Michael Jackson song, who is technically what Bruno Mars kinda is), someone comes on stage to tell me that they play guitar, some random girl always says ‘whooo’ after an Oasis song, and someone asks if I can rap…the answer is yes. Let the summer play on

Next Shows: Tuesday July 16^th– Turtle Jacks Oakville: 6:30pm – 10:00pm. Thursday July 18th – Fionn MacCool’s Yonge/Davisville 7:30pm – 10:30pm. Wednesday July 24th – Bier Markt Shops at Don Mills 8:30pm – 12:30am.

March to May has felt like a week.With shows at some great establishments –  Fionn Maccools locations, O’Finns Irish Temper, Symposium Cafes and Bier Market,

I feel as if I finally woke up as I’ve taken some time to uh smell da roses..The crowds have been so different- young, old, single, married, divorced or confused, its been great meeting so many people and singing their requests. More on these great brand establishments in my next posts.  (fyi:worst audience song request: some ‘one direction’ song)

Having mates in different industries is a great cause you never know when they will need you –as a stand in. In this case, my friend (an award winning documentary film-maker) needed to shoot a live band, for a Discovery Network docucrime show called Nothing Personal, for an episode titled “Married to a RockStar”. The episode (hosted by the HBO Sopranos actor  Steve Schirripa) centered around a wannabe rockstar who murders his pregnant wife so he can be with his mistress. The rockstar /murderer is played by yours truly on bass guitar.  No voice or face shots of me were used (tk God), only shots of the head down (tk God again).  Nothing Personal airs on Discovey Investigation in Canada, US, and the UK.
