Not a lot of words to describe the run of shows this past weekend with our great friends @jankybungag & @carterefelker and their bands. Can’t beat late nights with new friends, great music and cold beer. We love you all and look forward to running it back.

First song I’ve finished in the last couple months. Give it a go. I wrote it for my Grandpa and he rules.

It’s called “Thank You for Loving Me”

Back in the saddle again after an amazing weekend with the band @pembinarivernights

It was a real treat to share the stage with such a talented lineup. Thank you to all the people that volunteered and made the weekend so special.

We’re off the map until a swing of shows from Edmonton to Lethbridge at the end of August. See you then.

March 6 || Porcupine Hills

A year ago tomorrow, in the morning, I got a call from my mom letting my know my Aunt Tracy had taken her life on the ranch that she worked. I wrote this song that morning at my desk after the phone call. It was one of those songs that felt like it came through me rather than from me. A first for me as a songwriter.

It took a year, but the song has grown into something we are extremely proud of.

This song is for my family and anyone that has been through something similar. And of course my Aunt Tracy, a true ramblin’ woman.
