BIG NEWS! July 29 Rogue Folk is celebrating my induction into the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame with an historic double bill concert of PIED PUMKIN and ROOTS & GROOVES. This will be the Pumkin's only performance, best get your tickets right away to avoid disappointment. http://www.roguefolk.bc.ca/concerts/ev19072920

Leading up to that big event, In July Nico and I will take ROOTS & GROOVES outdoors in Downtown Duncan, Spirit Square Campbell River, Old Quarter Nanaimo and the Mission Folk Festival before heading back to Kitsilano for a night of music and merriment with old friends and family!

I will get a star on Granville Street in Vancouver where I began my career as a street musician decades ago, days immortalized in Ryan Larkin's animation STREET MUSIQUE for which I helped write and perform the music, some of which has been revitalized with Nico Rhodes in our duo ROOTS & GROOVES. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa1dROZBgfo

Nico was recently honoured with the City of Nanaimo Emerging Leader Award. See the video from the ceremony at https://youtu.be/sZ5mVf5Ykpk. Nico is in Toronto musical directing until July when Roots & Grooves will play shows in Duncan, Campbell River, Nanaimo and the Mission Music Festival. Hope to see you there.
