Don Brownrigg & Stuart Legere @ The Bus Stop

Ever wonder why ribbons & bracelets don’t actually address the root cause?  Check out this article by Chris Benjamin.

Tim Bosquet ain’t no slouch either.

I’m playing some stand-up bass for Mr. Brownrigg & Mr. Legere tomorrow evening at The Bus Stop Theatre (8:30pm). Mel Stone is going to sing sweet harmonies. It truly is good friday.

‘So Fine’ wins at Reel Film Fest
Posted on February 12, 2012

I received a bit of great news last night. The video we made for ‘So Fine‘ won Best Amateur/Short Paddling Film at the Reel Paddling Film Festival. This is great encouragement for us to keep working on the documentary for Paddle To The Ocean.

I’d like to say a HUGE thanks to Aram & Kelsey for making this video happen. We had a lot of fun making it! Also- if you read those credits at the end, I had a lot of friends helping out as well.



Hello NB
Posted on February 3, 2012

I’m going to New Brunswick for some shows with Acres & Acres. Ian’s having a baby, so I’m his stunt double.

These brilliant fellows have generously contributed lots of music to Paddle To The Ocean, and Locals Only. I’m really happy to be playing bass for them.

I hope it still looks like this in NB:
