A cool five year old finally gave me what I’ve been missing! A heart! And also, a lot of money in his own currency. So, I’m rich somewhere! Also, I have a solo show tomorrow at Dystopia Bar in Parkdale! I’m on right at 8pm followed by Ashley Gilmore and Marcus Walker! It’ll be fun! See you there! 🤘🧡

I’ve always been a fan of Supes. He’s not and never has been ‘boring’ or ‘too perfect’ - he just needs to be written correctly. (Believe me I can go on and on about this topic). Superman 2025 seemed to capture the right tone. I dig it. #Superman2025

Holy smokes Toronto! I was hoping to catch an art show and a rock show this Saturday…but it’s a clogged up traffic transit nightmare out here…time to get my bike fixed up. Jeepers. #trafficnightmare #TorontoSky

Does anyone else out there think of the movie Georgia (1995) as often as I do?...admittedly I haven't seen it since high school...but it still really sticks with me...might be time for a re-watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfM1...

Song #4 - Wildfire I’m someone whose home is being/has been destroyed by a wildfire and I’m reflecting…perhaps more like meditating…on the cyclical nature of fire and resource towns.

Ok I don’t really understand microblogging but today I’m gonna live blog the characters/mindsets for each of my songs as I record the vocals. A thread…🧵👇

Hi, it’s just me getting jolted around on the bus on the way to my day job trying to finish show promo and make a one-sheet for our Double single release (gasp!) - 2 within a month of each other. Is this considered dedication or a sickness? Haha! #RockNRollsNotDead #MusicSky #IndieMusic

“The smoke machine is killing me” is a lyric from the new Mip Power Trio single ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll’s Not Dead.’ Honest question: as a performer how do you feel about smoke machines? They absolutely shred my voice…but they do look cool… New single out March 7 (this Friday)!!! #MusicSky #IndieMusic

Rock ‘n’ roll’s not dead, but it is playing to four people in a dive bar with a full light show and a smoke machine. 🤘 Our new single is a love letter to the DIY grind, and it’s out March 7! Pre-save now & check out the artwork + a sneak peek of the chorus 🔗 Pre-Save: show.co/YhHXDqv

So. Much. Admin. Getting ready for the @folk_alliance conference in Montreal, where I’ll be in the role of both an artist and junior booking agent, AND the first single drop off of our new album. Stay tuned! 🧡🤘 #indiemusician #canadianmusician #quebec #emails
