A wee bit o’ radio play.

This past Wednesday, a pretty cool thing happened to me. Last weekend I sent a couple of songs from my EP to the big kahuna (ish) of the Conestoga Radio station. I got an email back saying it wasn’t quite the material they were looking for their main station programming, which is mostly new rock. My hopes were a bit dashed, but he said he sent it to a few other people who run different programs on the station. One of those programs, Pull the Plug, hosted by Carolyn, Shannon and Adam, is an all-acoustic show that airs Wednesday nights from 10pm-midnight. Wednesday night I got a message from Shannon saying that they had enjoyed the material I sent, and put it on air!

F**kin’ A! .. were the words, if maybe a bit calmer-spoken, that I said. I was, and am very stoked that some of my songs were deemed interesting enough to put on air, (and also well-mixed enough, thanks to Theo Posthumus).

There is a live steam of the show posted every Wednesday online. When it comes up I’ll be sure to post the link through facebook, or here, or what have you, so you can check out the programming. They seem like a bunch of pretty cool folk.. and you might hear one of my tunes at some point.

On November 4th, it would mean a hell of a lot to me if you would all tune in and listen to the live stream. I’ll be going in and spending a couple of hours with the hosts of Pull the Plug, to talk, have fun, and play 4 or 5 live songs. I hope to see some of you listening.. it should be good times had by all.

For those who haven’t listened to the new material from the upcoming EP, I’ve posted nearly all the songs that are already recorded and some mixed on Myspace @

The songs will be there until the release of the album, to give you all a solid idea of what the general feel of the material is like, in case you might want to get a copy. (hint hint)

Peace and love,
