Hey everyone.
Hope you all enjoyed the summer...wow did it ever go fast.
I wanted to say thank you to all of you that came out and supported me at the various festivals I was a part of. It truly was amazing. I've included some highlights of what I have been up to below, and some notes on what is coming up.
Hope to see you all soon!

SUMMER 2010 HIGHLIGHTS (in no particular order....)
ZACATECAS, MEXICO - THE ZACATECAS JAZZ AND BLUES FESTIVAL August 12
Thank you to the great people of the Zacatecas Jazz and Blues festival for having myself and my band perform there. We truly fell in love with Mexico, and we're so happy we've been invited back for performances next year!
It was an honor to have our set broadcasted live on Mexican television...can't wait to get back there. Viva la Mexico!!
MONT TREMBLANT, QUEBEC - TREMBLANT INTERNATIONAL BLUES FESTIVAL July 12- 15
Once again, what a pleasure to be invited back to Tremblant. This truly is one of our country's best Blues festivals, and the lineup this year was amazing. Maintenant, je dois pratiquer mon francais parce que j'adore le Quebec!
KITCHENER, ONTARIO - THE KITCHENER BLUES FESTIVAL August 8
There's no place like home is right! What a fantastic festival to be a part of this year. The Kitchener Blues Fest is among the fastest growing festivals in our country, and all the organizers and volunteers should be beaming with pride. That show was among my favorites of the year!
TROIS-RIVIERES, QUEBEC - TROIS RIVIERES EN BLUES FESTIVAL, August 26-28
Another reason to love Quebec, only the second year of this festival and already hugely succesful. C'est une plaisir pour moi....hope to return next year.
EDMUNDSTON, NEW BRUNSWICK - THE EDMUNDSTON JAZZ AND BLUES FESTIVAL
Our first time in Edmundston, and certainly not our last if it's up to me. The hospitality of our friends out east is legendary, and for good reason. Congrats on an excellent festival.
Also, Orillia, Fonthill, and the Montreal West Island Blues festival are on the highlight list for sure. All in all, summer 2010 has been phenomenal, and I thank you all.
