Phenomenal Shows, Workshops, and Walks
It has been an incredible week in the Okanagan! I have thanks and shout outs for many:
-To all the folks at the Artists for Creative Alliance for having me last Wednesday for a beautifully intimate show. All the open mic performers were incredible!
-To Silver Star for having me play at The Saloon, and to Jim for making the drive :).
-To Tiger Moon for a wild western show on Friday! Listen to their wonderful music and beautiful harmonies.
-To Darren Beattie, Jenny Brook, and Matt Langill coming down from Vancouver to come play with me full band for a huge Fernando’s show.
-To all my workshop participants who seriously rocked it and gave it your all.
-To the Songwriter’s Stewdio for having me as a feature and producer last night!
-To my family and new friends that joined me on walks these last few days. Below are a couple of cool moment pictures from these walks.
