Vote and win Yamaha stuff!
CBC’s Searchlight Contest is on right now. Up for grabs is $20,000 in Yamaha equipment, and – more importantly – a spot in a high profile showcase that could help my band reach new venues and fans, as well as extra radio play during the contest.
I’ve submitted the title track from my album ‘Another Time Around‘, being released this summer. I’d really appreciate it if you would take a minute to vote and help me get my music out there.

Thanks very much everyone! More info on the album release coming soon.

Things are coming along, and some great shows are starting to come together for the summer. One of those will be Butchart Gardens on August 19th. Stay tuned for more as the summer bookings take shape, but exciting things are underway.
I’m happy to announce that my band will be performing on the main stage at the Victoria Jazz Festival on June 28th! I’ve also been chosen to host the jam for three nights at Harbour Towers (June 22nd to 24th). This is a very fun opportunity because musicians from all the touring bands drop in to play. And I’ll be playing as a sideman with some other bands in the festival. Specific dates and times will be listed on my show schedule closer to the fest.
There’s some new videos posted from the show at Hermanns Jazz Club back in September. I had it professionally filmed by Tim Quinlan and his team, but I wasn’t able to do anything with the footage until now because I was busy working on the album. Now there’s three songs online plus audience interviews, and I think it looks pretty good!

The great trombonist Jeff Agopsowicz has returned to Vancouver Island, and we’ll be recreating the fun we had with our band Trombone Mayhem! at Hermann’s Jazz Club on March 6th. Find out more here!
Finally, my website no longer looks like it was made in the early days of the internet. I hope you enjoy the new site! It’s got some new features, including a 360° tour of my recording studio, lots of downloads for students, information on my upcoming album, and more.
