Writing today from my hotel room in Regina Saskatchewan on an off day on the Hometown Heroes Reklaws Arena tour. This tour is taking us completely across Canada, beggining in the west coast and ending in the east coast. It spans five weeks and has been going exceptionally well. The band is on fire and the audiences have been electric!
2026 has been a nonstop whirlwind of touring, recording, getting to work with some of my favourite people while also maintaining a bit of family time with my lovely wife Liz and daughter Sydney.
I have had the pleasure of travelling all over the world and even got to go to some new places this year that I had never been before such as Malta, where I played for Punjabi artists Sukha and Tegi Pannu at the relatively new Breaking Borders festival. Malta is an extremely beautiful island and I got to take full advantage of it on my day off by going on long runs into the countryside and eating at an unbelievably good seafood restaurant called the Seafood market and grill.
Aside from touring, I have been so fortunate to have been extremely busy in the studio this year, playing on over 150 songs mostly from my home studio for artists from as local as Toronto to as far and wide as Los Angeles and South Korea. I also tracked a lot in studios all over Toronto and Vancouver.
In my home studio I have accumulated an amazing collection of microphones and outboard gear since starting my studio in 2024 (see my studio gear page on this website). I am just LOVING putting this gear to work on peoples tracks. I am having such fun with the recording process and feel I am getting better and better at using the gear and knowing which gear is the best for each specific musical situation
2027 is shaping up to be another one for the books. Touring in Australia and India planned as well as starting off early January cutting drums on a record for a lovely taleneted artist coming in from Ottawa Canada.
Happy rest of 2026 everyone!!!
