East Coast Tour 2013

Well our trip to the East Coast of Canada was amazing and left me feeling a real sense of love for the great people of our Nation.
We were invited into homes of people we barely knew, enjoyed some of the Atlantic Ocean's wonderful delicacies in kitchens and on back porches.  One thing was true everywhere we visited, we were greeted and sent off with tons of love.
On this Tour I was joined by dear friend and former Silas drummer "Jon McMurray" seen in these photos with the bald head and long gotee.  Once we arrived in Miramichi, NB we were joined by my brother in law Dan Froese who played Fiddle and guitar on the Tour.
These guys were amazing to play with and really helped to capture the more Eastern sound that I was looking for with this tour and the release of my new album "Lucky One".
On the Tour we played in Churches, a Fishing Lodge, A Bank, A Patio, A Bistro, A Farmers Market, A Kitchen and I started working on a new song in a bathroom.
We traveled to the Following Places:
Hamilton, Quebec City, Edmonston, Miramichi, Annapolis Royal, NS, Digby NS and home again putting over 4000 kms on our old van but enjoying every part of the journey.

All in all it was a great trip and I'm so glad that we went again this year.  As a songwriter and performer, you hope and pray that your music will be well received and as I drove home from Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia to Hamilton, ON, I felt so assured that what I am doing with my life is the right thing.  

A big thank you to Jon McMurray and family for coming and spending your Summer Vacation with us.  Dan and Marissa, thank you for hosting the 2nd leg of the journey at your home and for letting us paint your new Photo Studio.
