Thank you for the kind support of this musical journey!

Been trying to figure out the next musical steps amongst world chaos. Excited about some upcoming stuff! Here’s us recently at one of the top venues in Toronto, the hidden gem that is Sellers & Newel!

Sweet to hear Yule Train showcased on CBC Saturday Night Jazz with Laila Biali last night! Ewen, myself & the band thank you immensely for this!

Was an extra kick hearing the CBC national host beforehand mention that Saturday Night Jazz was up next and “The Yule Train was leaving the station” 🤣🚂 🎅🏼

Ah, just beaming hearing this on air this morning. Very touched by your kind words & support Robbie! Thank you for spreading the word about what I’m up to on ZoomerRadio 🎅🏼🙏🏻

Grateful that Elvis & Co. 2024 brought us together.

Be seeing you in the New Year!

Our Christmas album is getting around 🎄

🤣 I couldn’t resist. I love a good bun! Pun sorry…

Thank you so much Dianna Chycki for having me on beachboosterradio.com to talk about our new Christmas album! Zooming into the Wasaga Beach area from Cobalt.

Airing today at 10am & 8pm 🙂

Ewen Farncombe & I are so darn proud of this record we made with our “Jazz Mavericks”.

Been lucky to have had his support since our sophomore album.

The Christmas train is picking up steam…

Nothin’ but blue skies from now on! Thank you man 🙏🏻

Look who just came to celebrate the blue skies?
Welcome Alex Bird.
Can't wait to be at your Christmas album launch in Toronto.

And I’m so thrilled Ewen Farncombe & I’s new 10-song original Christmas album with our “Jazz Mavericks” keeps resonating with people like this. Below you can also find an exclusive interview I did with Metronome while calling in from Cobalt.

Onwards through the holiday season!

I’m feeling very grateful to have the continued support of people like Brian M. Owens at Metronome Magazine. They have been in publication for the New England area since 1985!

“For his latest record, the reincarnated jazz crooner teamed up with his musical partner, Ewen Farncombe and his “Jazz Mavericks” to deliver a remarkable Christmas album called, Another Christmas Day, a modern day holiday jazz masterpiece.”
