    Friends. Hokey  Dinah. It's been another hot minute since I've been in and around the podsphere. I hope this  jargonesque episode wets the stone-saw of your content voracious mind. Thank you for being on this journey. More to come!

    My new album "Geographics" is out now on all platforms. You can buy the digital, cd and vinyl versions of the album on my bandcamp page, (which helps me greatly) but I understand that cash is tight all over the map, so you can also order a five dollar Geographics sticker. 5 beans! This album is really special to me (as my friends Melissa Payne and Charles Austin played all over it) and I hope you'll come along for the supersonic ride.

  • Episode 58: Interview w/ Dennis Moseley-Williams

    Send us Fan Mail

    Pals - I've had  this episode simmering slightly on the backburner for a while but  it's finally braised and ready to be plated for your mental pleasure. Dennis  Moseley-Williams  has been described as  dangerously funny and wickedly smart. He is not only an outstanding presenter, but he’s also an outstanding person as well (and I can attest to that as he has become a great friend).  He has integrity, honesty and cares about his position and the people he works with.  He provides easy-to-understand ways for improving the strategy for your business. Also  - much like me as  a music maker - as a professional public  speaker and vision spreader,  he understands  the concept of a gig being  live and only getting one shot to impress a room. I hope this episode finds you well.  We  had some great glowing relevatory convo moments. Dennis is an inspirational dude.

    Hello friends - it's been a few buckets  of hot seconds since I've been in the podverse. I found some time between touring to get some shiznit uploaded for your lovely selves and I have a few more on the way. Today's theme is anxiety  - and how remembering a simple mantra  during times of heaviness and stress (and redirecting your focus and energy) can be helpful.  I hope it finds you well. Catch me on tour with Ron Hawkins this month  in Buffalo, Toronto and two nights in Burlington. I love you. <3

    Graventown Friends from all of  the map-ends. I was feeling pretty raw when this cast of ye olde pod came out just before the yuletide glee. I hope  it finds you  well. It was about the essence of music and art and  just sticking with a craft through all seasons of life - in a phrase; manufacturing authenticity.  I also talk about  seeing failure as a privilege  has  helped me time and time again. Originally recoded  Dec 6, 2023.

    Send us Fan Mail

    Was nice to have some runway between Ottawa and Kingston to launch a few thoughts about loss and life and musical light that guides us through it all. The  gig at the toucan with Tom was ethereal and it was important to dissect the whys and hows of getting out of your own way and being a vessel. I always appreciate  you listening and I'll hope to see you in Toronto this coming Saturday December 16th. Email me anytime at [email protected].

    Podpals. Thanks for following the good ship Graventown into the night. After a short hiatus, we are back in the saddle with episode 51 (can ya believe it?!) featuring the fierce fiery phenon music maker Jenn Grant. Jenn Grant’s music is deeply empathetic and generous of heart, so of course one day she would invite the whole country to make it with her.  Champagne Problems, her eighth album and first in the producer’s chair alongside partner Daniel Ledwell, gathers 13 musicians from coast to territory to coast in a series of collaborative Canadian magic tricks spun into classic country, lost disco hits, and ruminative folk fables. Featuring folks like Kim Harris, Aquaculture, Basia Bulat, Afie Jurvanen aka Bahamas, Dan Mangan, Hannah Georgas, Kevin Drew, Amy Millan AND more,  Champagne Problems is now in the world on platform of your choosing. We had a real deep and honest chat and I hope you listen in.
     
     Hope to see ya for my final full band shows of 2023!
