I was featured this month in Canada's most prestigious wedding magazine, Real Weddings!! If you get a copy, be sure to notice the incredible photos taken by Ellen Ho, photographer at God's Mountain Resort. Weddings all over the place. 7 this summer, without even trying. It's nuts! But it sure is a fun challenge! Weddings tend to be such a diverse melting pot of ideals, differences, family and business. I'm incredibly honored to serenade so many special people's special day. I am NOT the wedding singer. I just happen to sing at the odd wedding.

Richard St Onge and I are finally reunited after all this time! We reminisce that it was 7 years ago when we shared a little basement suite with Chris O'Neill in Kitsilano, Vancouver.

I was enthralled, first of all, that the mighty Pierre Coutore was into the idea of recording a live show at the Dream Cafe.

Wow... Most people didn't know what was going on when I sent out my invites for the show last night. The Streaming Cafe is a very cutting edge venue that gives indepedent, unsigned, relatively unknown artists a platform to perform for a global audience in a live streaming environment. It is another entrepreneurial endeavour of Kelowna's new elite artists group who have been scheming up innovative ways to promote the artists moving throughout our community in super high tech mediums.
