Keep on Keeping On

Hey Pals:

Just a quick check in here. Playing Toronto and London and Hamilton this week with Jeremy Fisher then jumping on the New Constellations tour for a couple of dates next weekend.

Our Quitters and Cardinal Shows are Sold out and rehearsals for that take place after the Constellations tour completes.

This has been an interesting year of projects and shows and new music and old music it turns out.

Many thank to all you awesome humans who came out, requested songs, bought records and continue to encourage me in this life Im living. The fragility of it is never lost on me and I never cease to stand in wonder year in year out that I can make this work.

So many thanks out there all y'all,

Going Down The Road

One More show to mention for 2017: I'm heading up the 7 to Sharbot Lake to play some of those old Bungalows songs and maybe some new ones too. Thrilled to have Trails on this show too. 

And it's a Sunday matinee so you dont have to stay out late.

Jim Bryson w/ Trails: 

Sunday Dec 127th (4pm) Cardinal Cafe 

Tickets are available HERE on Thursday at 10am

Quitters Second Show Added

Thank you so much pals.

The Friday Quitters show sold out already and so we have a Saturday show planned as well.

Tickets are on sale tmrw at 10AM and the link is right HERE.

Once again, Trails will join and once again, I get to walk home after the show. 

NAC, yeah u know me.

Kids  

I'll keep this short (do people still go on websites)? 

This Friday April 21, I will be playing the NAC Studio theatre. It's a big show for me. I don't do these fancy places often. I played the 4th Stage but I think it was 12 to 14 years ago. I played solo that night and my pal Chris Page opened. 

A lot has changed in those years. Chris and I rarely get to raise a glass living in opposite ends of the city and living different lives. I had kids, blah blah blah. 

This Friday I'll be taking the stage not solo, but with 4 seasoned jazzheads, led by Petr Cancura, who programs the Ottawa Jazz Festival, and plays like the wind. We'll bend, stretch and flip songs on their heads and I barely have to do a thing, just remember the words and play a few chords here and there. 

Join us if you like the sounds of any of this as it will be a rare bird this one.  

Also on the dance card this weekend is the Roots North Festival in Orillia, Ontario. Lovely Saturday drive awaits. 

So if you find your way to this page and read this far, tell me. Twitter a holler my way.

SHOWS THIS WEEK

Ok Stittsville Pals: 

The week is upon us and the our threw sold-out shows are but two days away. I went through all the day to day details today with the Quitters folks and everyone is super excited. 

Please bring your PAYPAL print out with you. We have all the name on a list with the corresponding amount of tickets. It was a tester for sure using PAYPAL and down the road I will tweak this and make it better. 

Doors are at 7:30pm and the show will be two sets starting at about 8:15. 

There will be CD's and LP's for sale should you care for such products to take home. 

Lastly, I thank you all so much for coming to these shows and for the enthusiasm in which the tickets were bought up. 

See you soon pals,

I promise this is the last time I will do this. We have decided to add a third show on Saturday, Feb 20th.

Sorry for the "Great Paypal Crisis of 2016"

Hello All:

Sorry for the Paypal crisis this morning, I ended up having to go in twice and edit it to get it working. People got through in the end, but I feel bad for the folks who did not. The support you have shown is incredible and this Paypal BS was a real bummer.

Thank you all so much again.

SECOND SHOW ADDED STITTSVILLE

Hello Again Stittsville:

First of all thank you to everyone who bought ticket for my Feb 19th show: We sold that dang thing out in minutes flat!!!! What does this mean? Well, we have added a second show the evening before. These are also very limited seating and sadly, tickets do NOT guarantee an actually seat for your bum as Quitters has quite limited actual seats, but you will love the atmosphere and standing is good for your posture?

UPDATE: Tickets are sold out for this event.
