Here's what I am doing with myself these days!
Homebound Runaways - A duo bluegrass crossover project with my fantastic old buddy Ben Plotnick. I've been wanting to work with Ben since, like, FOREVER, so I'm really excited about this project! We both contribute original songs to the project, and then we play the songs with fun friends! So cool.
Synthosaurus - Simultaneously my silliest and funnest solo project yet - Instrumental synthesizer music for people who love nerdy dance parties. I dress up like a big friendly dinosaur and play synths.
The Jumpkick Disco Throwdown - My radio show, which happens Sunday morning 10-11am EST on CILU 102.7 in Thunder Bay, focusing on the best of classic/nu-disco, bloghaus, dreamwave, italo, synthpop and pretty much anything dancing being released on dance music blogs.
Past and/or recurring projects
---------------------------------------
Here are some other things I am involved in from time to time!
Greg Cockerill Band - I played with Greg for about a year and a half before departing from my full-time position as resident bassist. I still do the odd show, though, if Greg is ever in need. The band tours a bucketload across the country, so be sure to check Greg's myspace for a show near you!
Kaley Kinjo - Kaley used to play bass for Greg before leaving the post to pursue his solo career. Based in Calgary, Kaley keeps a busy schedule performing tunes from his debut album "Run For Your Life". He ALSO HAS A MYSPACE, GOOD LORD
The Digital Surplus - An oooooold, old, band of mine from university days. So much synth. Good golly.
The Allison Lynch Quartet - a vocal jazz quartet featuring the wonderful Allison Lynch, singer/actor/violinst/pianist/guitarist and all around wonderful gal. Bringing you the best of vocal jazz from the past century, Allie's a real treat to play with. She rounds out her quartet with the creme de la creme of Calgary jazz musicians, the likes of which have included pianist Steve Fletcher, drummer Dave Marshall, guitarist Carl Janzen, and more.
Teds Amongst Men - Led by Revelstoke-based treeplanting/songwriting guru Denis Severino, Teds Amongst Men brings you the finest of the old traditional folk tunes, as well as a plethora of originals - perfect for dancin' and good-timin'
Roughlands - folk and roots from the heart of Toronto - this group starting as a busking project in Kensington market - the group now has a CD out. Right on
