Great summer fun ahead. Check out the tour dates for new shows. Working hard to finish local sensation Rueben deGroots amazing cd. We have a probelm with the code on the website so I cannot use apostrophes. It does not mean I am dumb (er). |

Greetings pilgrims. Working away booking bands at Casey Fishers new club The Mansion. The music takes place in the Living Room and we have had some great bands come through so far. Music every night. And I am finishing up the finer points on Rueben de Groots new cd that we started recording at the end of the year. He is making a big splash on the local scene with his great music, search him out. I laid off chasing too many festivals this summer in order to get the new club off the ground, finish a few projects and get started on a new cd of my own but there is still a mish mash of shows to be played. Looking forward to having Jack Grace and his band back up to Canada at the end of July and we are heading down to NYC and Woodstock area in August to reverse the process. It is hush hush diplomatic work generally. I am staring across the lake at Wolfe Island where a gazillion windmills are just coming online. Hmmm, quite an ordeal for the community over there and we in Kinkytown do not get to keep the power even. I guess it is better than a nuke plant or being Brian Mulroney right now. In music news, I saw my friends band Meatdraw the other night and have already started to cover one of his awesome songs. I think ye next disc of mine will be packing a bunch of my buddies songs to round out my new hits. I cannot stop myself salut, LW |

Western Canadian Spring 09 tour

Heading west with renowned mandolin player Dan Whiteley and banjo and bassist Jason Mercer.
Jason has been out on the road on and off for years with Ron Sexsmith and before that Ani Difranco but we originally met back in his Bourbon Tabernacle Choir days. He plays banjo on every LW and the Wrongs cd since 1998s Rogers Waltz and we have done a series of shows lately in New York city that lead to this collaboration. We will likely feature the banjo, guitar and mandolin in the early part of the show and then move his over to bass for some rocking as the night goes on. Also joining the tour is Mitch Anderson doing Stomping Tom Conners songs. He sings them so well you can smell the potatoes. Check tour dates section and send word to any friends you have nearby. xo.
