BACK FROM THE DEAD I haven't had much on the go musically for the last while.  Between the Speakeasy Garage, and managing life's other tasks, I've been admittedly quiet.  But, things are turning up Curtis; I've got songs in the cooker, shows being booked, and ambitions to follow through on.  Stay posted!

I haven't had much on the go musically for the last while.  Between the Speakeasy Garage, and managing life's other tasks, I've been admittedly quiet.  But, things are turning up Curtis; I've got songs in the cooker, shows being booked, and ambitions to follow through on.  Stay posted!

I BUILT A BAR! (well....a music studio/creative space/bar/venue) After dreaming for years of converting my garage into a full time creative space, I'm happy to report that I have finally finished it.  The Speakeasy Garage is up and running.

ACOUSTIC GUITAR PROJECT

I am pleased to be involved with the Calgary Acoustic Guitar Project this summer!  10 songwriters were chosen in the city to participate; each songwriter gets one week with the project guitar, in this case a folding Voyage Air Fender acoustic, and has to write & record a song in one week before handing the guitar off to the next artist.  There will be a CD compilation made and a finale concert with all the artists will be held at the National Music Centre on Sundau, Aug 12th @ 3pm.
