Welcome to my dream come true, the launch of my original CD Release Concert.

On September 27, 2013

I experienced the culmination of a lifetime's work writing, recording and performing my entire original album in front of a sold out house full of fans, friends and family.

What follows is the first in a series of videos, which together form the entire album and evening. It was also my mother's 70th Birthday so it was an extra special night all around.

I also decided to leave the footage raw

and let you hear the band live off the floor. What you are hearing is exactly what the audience heard on that night.

This song is the second music video I have ever released from my 2013 CD release concert.

Ain't Half Bad is the very first song I ever put out to radio in Canada.

The support I had for the evening was just simply outstanding and over the top.

I have to thank Canadian Music Legend & Canadian Country Music Award winner Johnny Burke

for being kind and humble enough to open for a guy no one ever heard of. Sadly, Johnny passed away last year but will live on forever in the songs I will be uploading in the future.

Pam Miller for jumping onboard and doing some great songs.

Also to Stacey Lee Guse for her incredible backing vocals and sparkling personality. Since the recording of this concert Stacey and her husband Shane's band, The Western Swing Authority, have gone on to storm the Canadian Country Music scene winning many awards including CCMA's

It's almost like you don't give a shit that you're overtly abusing this platform ...

Don Reed went to Georgia and got him a golden fiddle huh?

You're not kidding!!! Boy can play!

You were nicely surrounded, great video, and I miss the stage so much, it's been over a year, but soon hopefully :)
Thanks for sharing, and your passion for music

Thanks Yidneth :) It was such a fun night! I know you've experienced that too so it's great to have you comment! Time can feel very strange when you have not been on the stage for a while. I hope you are back on the stage soon! Your fans need you :D

Your music goes Direct to my iphone, great, thanks for not giving up and materializing your dreams, enjoying the rhythm and your voice

There's some names I haven't heard in a while. That's awesome and I can't wait to get out of the truck and look at it closer.

Cool cool, hope you do like it! Safe travels :D

There's nothing else like the feeling you get on a good night on the stage!
It's been about 18 years for me since I've played live on stage with a band, but I still remember the good nights.
