i love performing solo, i do. it doesn’t matter what mistakes i make, and what set lists i don’t… BUT, it can also get so lonely! SO, i dreamed a little something up so that i would get to do my thing, have others play with me, AND also get to sit back and listen to music i love. thus, the EAST VAN BOX SET tour.

i asked my friends (the gorgeous) sara ciantar – who played accordion on my album Fell Out of Oz, is a singer-songwriter herself, and a member of a couple of Vancouver’s best bands – and (the adorable) aaron joyce – who joins me frequently on guitar, played a handful of instruments on The Wedding Singer and The Undertaker, including arranging all the strings and horn parts, and has 5 diverse and incredible projects of his own rocking Vancouver – if they’d be up for a good old fashioned “in the round” tour. they said yet. and we’ve been having a blast rehearsing. and now comes the time to share the fruits of our labour!

this month we’re doing a handful of shows on the island, and one in merritt. next month we’ll be heading into the interior of BC. here’s a quick list of the dates, if you’re in the area, come!
