CD Release Party

photo by Chad Coombs

February 9, 2009 - Well it came and gone quicker than I ever expected, but what a night it was!! There was some of my favorite musicians on stage with me performing, including Troy MacGillivray, Ray Bell, Daniel Koulack, Paul Dacier, Carman Rabuka, and Brad King. It was also really great to get my two sisters (Kim and Kanndece) and my dad (Orest) up there for a few numbers to help me out. Brought back some great memories of growing up and how we used to play as a family for shows all over.


The show was a success on all fronts and most importantly it was an absolute blast and the response was unbelievable. There was over 400 people out to the Odeon Events Centre here in Saskatoon for the show and it was a very diverse crowd. It was an all ages show so there the age range must of been between 5 - 90!!! Definitely not your typical fiddle crowd and that was one of the best parts for me. I really wanted to get a lot of people out to the show that may not regularly go to a fiddle show so I even threw in some Led Zepplin, Guns’n Roses, Yes, and Michael Jackson a la fiddle in the show.


I just want to thank everyone who came out to the show and everyone who had a hand in helping me out with the show.

CD Photo Shoot


November 28, 2008 - I got the pleasure of doing the photo-shoot for my CD with a great photographer out of Toronto named Scott Ramsay. Scott is also a great friend of mine which I have worked with in the past, so it was great to work with him again.


We spent a full day scoping out the perfect locations for all of the different shots we wanted to get and then shot the next day. We started pretty early, but started shooting in the studio so it was a lot more comfortable than shooting on location in Toronto on a cold November day!!! After the morning session in studio, we headed to two different locations in downtown Toronto and shot for the rest of the day.


I am extremely happy with the way the photos turned out and will be posting more shots from the website in the future.
