It is interesting to see that my last post on this website was to do with a major project I took on last year to bring improvised music to Kings County, NS. It went really well! In spite of the pandemic. The challenges of first and second and third waves added to the spirit of improvisation and thinking on our feet and adapting. A lot of good things came out of it. Including a band called Quilting.
This group is a major focus, now. We’ll be releasing our first album soon, and we’re playing regularly at our old-church-clubhouse in Canning and other places too.
My other major focus is Music In Communities. This is an artist-driven non-profit cooperative with a growing team of musicians devoted to bringing music to all the niches of our community. We won an award! Community Presenter of the Year, from the Nova Scotia Music Awards. We have worked hard this year through the crazy logistics of the pandemic, and safely hosted a lot of shows and programming. Because so much of my energy is there now, I’m going to let this website go somewhat dormant for a while, and redirect you to www.musicincommunities.com for most of what I’m up to. Quilting hasn’t got a website yet but I post about us on facebook and instagram.
Hope to see you at a live music event sometime.
