Very excited to announce the release of the first song from the upcoming album of Fred Hébert, which I am very proud to have been a part of!

the album will be released on January 14 at Le Zaricot (Ste-Hyacinthe) and January 16 at Résonance Café (Montréal).

you (yes, you!) can support the album here.

Fred writes wonderful music and it is a joy to be a part of his ensemble!

christmas mixtape!

i had the great pleasure of recording some christmas music this year for this cool project featuring dozens of montreal musicians & friends! the oops kitchen contributed our rendition of a beautiful polish christmas carol ‘lulajże jezuniu’ on which i play guitar, and i’m also playing alto on ‘jingle bell funk’ by fox and the hound.

the album is full of surprises and is available for free download but we recommend taking the 5 or 10 bucks you would have spent on it and donating to a good charity.

stay tuned for more christmas and non-christmas surprises!

taylor donaldson octet recordings & photos!

this january i had the opportunity to record some new original music with the Taylor Donaldson Octet. it’s an absolute joy to play with these musicians and i think the recordings sound great!

Canção Comovente was written by Taylor, The Great Grasshopper Race and A Night With No Wind were written by me. engineering, mixing, and technical wizardry were performed by Padraig Buttner-Schnirer, who took all the photos as well.

stay tuned for audio & video from our concert in april!
