Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song 7 ‘Man Of Your Word’ My apologies on being a little quiet lately as I’ve been spending some time focusing on family and myself. This song is one of those special ones that came out quick. My family was vacationing in Freeport, Bahamas over March Break. A visit to the market on a rainy day inspired the idea for this song. As I told many vendors we would visit each booth as a family, she responded after our visit that she liked that I was a ‘Man Of My Word’. I wrote this song in about 5 minutes once back at the resort. There is no greater honour, responsibility and sense of purpose than being a parent. This song is about how fast my son is growing up and my hope that I doing a good job as a dad. Hope ya dig!

Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song 6 ‘Just Listen’ Seems like there’s a lot going on lately in the world and sometimes the best medicine is to have a healthy outlet. This recording is a tad sloppy with timing, but is the first video I’ve ever made with 3 me’s! Dive into the lyrics, you’re not alone, but take the time to help another and just listen. Hope ya dig!

Please come support original music. Despite perfor Please come support original music. Despite performing all the time, I don’t often get to play exclusively my own tunes. Should be a good night at one of my fav places. Can’t go wrong with sticky heat wings and singer-songwriters doing what they love. 3 performers and I’m slotted on second (8:30ish) #supportlivemusic #canadianartist #originalmusic #acoustic #canada @theharpnotl
Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song 5 ‘The Peddler’ Wrote this song on our family Xmas Vacation in Rivieria Maya, Mexico (Dec. 21-28th, 2025). I was fascinated by the amount of people who tried to sell us stuff on resort/beach hence the name ‘the peddler’. This is a rough version done quickly on our balcony on the last day. A bit of wind, but the bones are there. A couple really good lines in this one to make you think. My creative juices always flow on vacations. Hope ya dig!

Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song Songbird Sundays Original Series #Season 2 - Song 4 ‘Under The Covers’ Wrote this song this yesterday (Nov. 1st, 2025) and thanks to the extra hour today I got a chance to record. Thought I’d share it while it’s fresh. Not quite sure if it’s a keeper or not?! Decided to change the name from outdoor to original series as the goal is to have a 12 song album after a year of monthly releases. Hope ya dig!

Outdoor Series #Season 2 - Song 3 ‘Novel Study’ At the end of our performance at Grist on October 9th, 2025 we took the opportunity to shoot a couple original tunes in the loft. Cheating on the outdoor series name a bit but this is filmed outside my studio at least. Novel Study is still one of my fav tunes to play live. It has a tricky riff to sing overtop of and it plays throughout the whole song. Two lines of each verse are dedicated to my favourite children’s novels. Can you guess all four? Turned out great and the song still stands as one of my best to pen. Hope ya dig!
