  Saint John…was wet. But that wasn’t what stuck out about the town when we finally got into the Saint John Ale House last night. The kindness of people in the eastern part of Canada is renowned, most any Canadian would agree, “Them there east coaster’s, are some of the...

Out Of The Light & Into The Dark

Out Of The Light & Into The Dark

Farting As A Pick-Up Line | Tour Blog 2

“This Townehouse Ain’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us!” | Tour Blog

    The five-hour jaunt up the 69, past Barrie and Parry sound is nothing to me anymore. In fact I find myself reliving the same thoughts I had when I would go up north with my parents as a child. The same stops I’d always stop on a family road trip, Barrie for gas...

Early Morning On The Road

It’s 5:22AM and I’m lying wide awake in my bed here at the Stobbe house in Brandon, MB. I’m awake because after The Human Race and I drove 11hrs from Calgary, I thought it’d be a great idea to have Burger King at 1:30 in the morning. So as I lay here, thumb punching characters...

What To Say About Touring?

Over the last few years I’ve been on the road 8 times. 8 times driving through this vast land, 8 times avoiding animals scattered all over the road, being held up by mountain goats, late nights, early mornings, hang over to gig, gig to hang over, a virtual wash, rinse repeat of routine. And I...

I met Corwin while playing up at the Artswells Festival in 2008. And this past summer at Artswells I was lucky enough to catch him play all acoustic in a packed church venue. Amazing. He recently released a full length with Ms. Emily Brown under the name “Morlove“. Check him out.

A Night In The Boxcar | Recording The Leominster EP
