Fall 2014

It’s been a glorious NS summer, lots of beach swims and bike explorations, getting to know the beauty of Canning and area, watching the apples grow and savouring all the food that grows at our doorstep. Mmm. Now we’re heading towards autumn and thinking about work and music a bit more. Very pleased to announce I’ll be playing at the Deep Roots Festival in Wolfville at the end of September, some solo and some with my fiddler-buddy Amy Lounder, new songs, sweet harmonies and fiddle-banjo tunes. 

This fall I’ll also be looking for students to turn to the dark way of the claw! Anyone interested in taking clawhammer banjo lessons from me, I’ll be teaching from my house here in Canning, and also at Moe’s Place Music in Windsor on Thursdays. Here’s my spiel:
