Sweet Man
There's a lot of guys I know They ask me why I don't go Around- to all those places in town They say I'm sitting on the shelf That I shouldn't stay home by myself They say...

Hot Damn Romance
You came into my life like a bolt out of the blue Snapped my head around before I could count to two It's like there was a code someone gave to you And I was helpless Chorus: You bring that hot damn romance Burning it down It's like a high speed flash dance Hitting the ground And I can't believe what I found How did you get so good Tell me how did you get so good You already knew the things that you should say Like...

Flying High
I used to sit and sigh Watching life pass me by Unfit for the role I played Unhappy with the words I’d say I used to be a puppet on a string Pulled into all sorts of crazy things ‘Til I walked right out of that frame Stopped playing that losing game Chorus: Now I’m flying high The view from here is open sky My dreams have never been so wide I’m…flying high It’s not easy to let go But if you don’t you’ll never know All the things...

Flying High- the video
Sometimes projects are born in a second of inspiration, but bringing them into the world always takes much longer. I just released the music video for a song called "Flying High", but it was a long time in the making. In fact it was almost two years ago, on a break between sets at a live performance that the idea was born. I was playing some old school jazz live for a swing...

Brawler – A new kind of song
This September I am releasing a new EP called "Hot Damn Romance". It contains five songs, all of which I recorded in Toronto at the beginning of June. The songs are all originals, but they were written at different times. One of the tracks, "Brawler", is the oldest. In fact, it was part of the same stream of inspiration that created all the songs on my first album, "Songs...

Hot Damn Romance- the EP
I am excited to announce that there is new music almost ready to release. This year I released some songs as singles, and now there is an EP of five more songs that will come out in September. These tracks are special because they feature the incredible skills of some very fine musicians from Toronto. Producer Bryant Didier of BMusique Studios is a friend of a very good friend of mine,...

I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas
I put this cover together on a whim this month because it’s a fun jazzy tune to sing, and I have a lot to sing about. This version features Marc Rivest on guitar. 2018 has been a very exciting year musically, with my first fight scene music video (Molasses), a trip to Italy to perform live jazz, and new music and collaborators in the mix. This is a way of saying thank you to all...

Transparency
You were opaque to me that first summer All smooth surfaces, firm limbs And eyes that glimmered like the evening sea I moved along the edges seeing My own face in twin mirrors The angle of your approach Observation drew me deeper The long scar—white testament To a fight you wouldn’t lose An arm broken before resolve The particular shape Hours of effort gave your hands I have gathered all these signs The face of a child who had your name A summer of wild-water grief The whisper of...

Here I Go Again
Jazz is such a large umbrella term for music. You can find the French gypsy style of Django Reinhardt, the New Orleans trumpet, melodic jazz guitar, meditative midnight sax, and even the club pumping style of Electro Swing. One of the well established sub genres of jazz is Brazilian jazz, and bossa nova in particular. "The Girl From Ipanema" is probably the most well known song from this tradition. When I was...
