2011 Blog

Hola !

What a great start to the New Year. Ringing in 2012 in Costa Rica was unforgettable. Yoga, Surf, Sushi and Music. That seems to be my daily routine down here. I truly love this country. The Pura Vida lifestyle is seen in everyone down here and any stress just floats away with the warm breeze.

I have been here nearly 3 weeks and this Friday I head off to Cuba! I have never been there but I have heard it's magic. "The New Orleans of the Caribbean", I've been told. If that is true I am going to love it because I sure do love The Big Easy. I'll make sure I snap a lot of pics and let you know how my trip to Cuba goes. After 2 weeks in Cuba I head back home to the Dominican Rep.

Yes..I am now calling that home. It was funny 'cause yesterday someone asked me "where do you live?" I paused and was like, "hmmm well ummm...I don't really live anywhere!" I continued to explain that I was an independent artist and that I had sold everything I owned, bought a motorhome toured coast to coast, stored my RV in Florida and that now I'm traveling and singing my way through the tropics. Their jaw dropped and they said "WOW !!"

I think one day I'll look back and say "I lived one hell of a life" I sure could not do this if you were not there supporting me. Thanks!

So yes, the first island of the new world ... the first place ever discovered by Christopher Columbus and the most beautiful paradise anyone has ever seen is where I will be spending my time when not touring. It is where I will call home and you know you're always welcome to come visit and see me perform at a tiki bar.

One Beating Heart Video Project

Finally finished! Waooo... It took a lot longer then expected but we have a finished project. We now have a video to help support the cause. Check it out on my video page.

Remember to spread the word because all the iTunes proceeds of this song go directly to Hands.org. and help areas and people affected by disaster.

Tour Plans

After Cuba I'll be performing in the Dominican Rep and around the Caribbean for Two months. I then plan on being in Cali in late April and doing a quick tour up the coast and maybe into Arizona. Then off to Hawaii before touring Canada coast-to-coast. Early summer 2012 I plan on being back in "LCoache" and touring the mid-west and East Coast and a possible 2 week tour of Europe end of summer 2012. If you would like to see me perform send a message to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and lets make it happen.

As a little thank you, click here for a free download of an unreleased song "My Town". I wrote this about my beautiful hometown, Vancouver, BC.

Aloha,
