Shows, Nominations, Scholarships, & prizes!
Hey all,
I hope you're enjoying the fall. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy this season.
Life has been busy for me. I worked so hard on getting my new album out in August,
that by September I'd run out of energy. So I've been spending more time with friends,
playing some sports, reading a bit and trying to learn how to relax. I'm glad I decided
to wait until next summer to do my tour.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the album release shows, they were fun!
I've got a couple more shows coming up in Ottawa
- Fri, Oct 19th @ Oliver's Pub and Sat, Nov 3rd @ Babylon Club.
If you haven't picked up a copy of 'In Awe of Simplicity' and would like one, it's
available on iTunes
or by Credit Card, PayPal, Cheque, Cash
Ontario Independent Music Award Nomination
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Nicole Rushton & I are nominated in the Hip-Hop category for an
Ontario Independent Music Award
with our track 'Canada Dry.' It's the inaugural year for the awards, and I don't recognize many names,
so the nomination won't be going to my head. It's still flattering though.
