It has been too long since I put out fresh recordings. 5 years...
It is strange as many people who I have met in these years don't really know me as a musician. Maybe they know I tune pianos, but most don't actually know about my music. Then there are all the people who know me from the 7 years prior to that, when all I did was everything I could to share my music with the world. It feels time to push on that again. Refreshed and leveled up. Exciting times.
From mid December 2023 thru mid January 2024 my sister and brother-in-law were patient and generous enough to let me rearrange their house. The well traveled Samick piano I grew up playing ended up in the middle of their temporarily sound proofed dining room. My Medicine 24 is selected and curated from many hours of recordings of me sitting down and having a chat with an old friend.
The last few years I have been traveling around in my van building a solid piano tuning customer base around Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. My goal is to purchase a shuttle bus large enough to have a piano in it. A studio on wheels. A space where I can create music for myself and to share whenever I wish. It would also be a stage on wheels with the option to wheel the piano out to play absolutely anywhere. All monetary support received for this album, and myself in general is building towards this dream.
From now until the end of July, I am booking pianos to tune and/or perform on (house concerts/wine and cheese social gatherings) around Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.
I am excited to announce my return to Europe during August and September where I hope to do more of the same, all in support of my new album, "My Medicine 24".
Enjoy!
