Talent Hounds is currently seen on The Pet Network. What??? You didn’t know there was a Pet Network???!!! Well of course there is a Pet Network.

This piece was done after the My Stompin Grounds  book was released, and it was created specifically for a winter-themed show at Harbourfront Centre. It’s about 24″ x 36″ painted on the glass a very old window – so it was done “backwards”… the paint is actually behind the glass.

This is the cover of the children’s book I illustrated for Doubleday back in the mid 90′s. 32 pages of full colour illustrations of 5 Tom Connors lyrics that took me 3 months solid. 20,000 copies were printed and it did well as far as I know. The weird thing was that Tom flat out refused to do ANY promotional stuff and turned down offers from pretty much everyone to appear on television or do print interviews.

Julian Pinder‘s powerful doc on the impact of the gas industry on a rural community in Alberta, Trouble In The Peace, has it’s Toronto premiere March 7 -9 at The Royal. I was composer for the film.

As a huge fan of Carole King, I’m looking forward to playing a couple of her great songs at this tribute cabaret at Hugh’s Room in Toronto. I’ll be performing No Easy Way Down and It’s Too Late. Advance tickets are recommended as this show will likely sell out. Friday, March 15, 8:30 SHARP. Poster by A Man Called Wrycraft.

Pleasure to be in the house band and front a couple of my favourite Joni Mitchell songs at the annual Songs Are Like Tattoos tribute cabaret at Hugh’s Room in Toronto. This is year it was sold out, once again. Poster by the one and only Martin Tielli.

The Giver series that I created music for received a nomination for Best Children’s or Youth Non-Fiction Program. Congratulations to everyone at Sinking Ship Entertainment and TVO.
