Hey everyone, happy new year!
December was extremely busy, culminating in 2 dates at the Fredericton Playhouse with Measha Brueggergosman. What an amazing vocalist - these were truly special gigs as they were my first time playing at the Playhouse and Measha is just fire.
January is relatively slower, but still lots going on. Every Thursday I'll be at Lot Six from 7-10pm for Jazz in the Atrium. On the 16th and 30th I'll be at Obladee with special guest bands. January 23rd I'm playing a fundraiser with Irene Wilkinson and George Heberts down at the Halifax Distilling Company. Should be fun!
I've started a new band called The Tall Man Band (www.tallmanband.com) specifically for the weddings and corporate gigs - check it out! We are booking up for 2019 quickly so if you know someone who needs a band get in touch soon!
Make sure to follow my social media for updates. That's all for now and hope to see you at a gig!
