Bio
It was not until moving to Ottawa for work in 2005 that I picked up a guitar; I had appropriated a guitar from someone who owed me money and well...he never paid me back. During that time I was working in the field of brain injury rehabilitation. As fate would have it, a client came to me who just so happened to be quite the accomplished musician prior to his injury. The music became his therapy...it was magical really. As soon as I managed to pair my voice with my guitar, I'd practice in bus stops and stairwells exposing myself to random strangers...this was an extremely liberating and wonderful way to connect directly with people. More recently, I began trying out open mics around Ottawa and have been well received.
About
My first solo album is slated to come out before year's end but I am still shy of meeting some financial goals. Your "tips" are most appreciated, as they will help in the making of this album.
If you would like to make a larger contribution, you may use PayPal to do so via intrigue_indepth@hotmail.com -- contributions of $25 or more gets a signed copy of the album before it is released, $50 or more gets the signed album and an 8X10 signed picture, $100 or more gets the signed album, 8X10 signed picture, and a special thank you in the liner notes...with much gratitude for your generosity.
I've been doing some preliminary recordings with the multitalented Ryan Potter who is featured on guitar and background vocals for Couldnt' Wait, djembe in Hiatus as well as drums, mandolin and singing background vocals for Hook Line & Sinker. With his help, I am finalizing instrument arrangements and vocal structures. We have also done a few collaborations together, namely: Lakeside, County Fair, Settle For Me. There's more to come...keep coming back!
XOXO
