About... [uh-boot] (Canadian English)
What’s to tell? East Coast background and came from a family consisting of a musical mother and a TV-holic father. Started playing music seriously later in life and rekindled the love of writing music when I met two lovely young ladies by happenstance (yes, that's where the name came from) at a local music festival. After 8 years and 3 studio albums the band sadly dissolved. But when one chapter ends, another begins!
Since then I have wrote for other artists, collaborated on an American project and released 5 solo albums. The latest album “Surroundings Familiar” is the most personal to date and really explores the connection between all of my influences, both musical and personal. There has always been a reference to Tom Petty, Dylan and Ray Lamontagne in my music. I play most of the instruments (with with a little help from my friends) and as with the last 5 albums I record, mix and master them here in my home at “Farmboy Studios”.
I am proud to have received the 2024 award of "Emerging Artist of the Year" from the International Singer- Songwriter Association.
I have been a finalist in the UK Songwriting contest, Worldwide Music Awards 2023, the Blues and Roots Canada songwriting contest as well as the U.S. RootsTech contest 2020. I still receive Canadian AM and FM airplay as well as international internet and community airplay.
