Hello Allllllll,
West Coast tour begins tomorrow…………
Welcome to my temporary page - A new flash integrated and interactive website is in the works and will be launched alongside my upcoming release ‘bouquet of might and fury’ this Fall. Stay ready.
Plenty of activity continues to keep things busy busy busy. I will be temporarily downsizing my operatic group of 15 to a mere duo and touring the west coast all throughout July. So, for those of you who might be lingering about in western parts this summer come on out to one of these shows. My long time music making friend friend Mark Hoeppner will be joining me with his accordion, glockenspiel, and synthesizers.

In other news…..
The past couple of months have been fabulously busy with lots of shows and activity for my 15 piece operatic band. The hour long spotlight performance with the CBC at Breakglass studio in Montreal was simply awesome. I am proud to say that this performance could very well have been one of the best shows I have ever played. And the great thing was that everything was recorded through the same console that Led Zepplin’s album Presence was recorded on. The CBC national airing date for this show is set for late August. Stay tuned for details closer to date.
Our evening with CBC was followed by a showcase performance for a full house at Toronto’s NXNE conference and resulted in feature articles in NOW Magazine two weeks in a row. NOW gave us critics choice appraisal, graced my name on the front page, and awarded us the highest rating for shows to have seen at the conference. For a very wobbly video sample of what we sounded like, check out this video by an audience member. http://www.nowtoronto.com/blog/view_post.cfm?post=850
Thanks everyone…..
I hope to see you at a show soon.

Friends -Welcome to my temporary page - A new flash integrated and interactive website is in the works and will be launched alongside my upcoming release ‘bouquet of might and fury’ this Fall. Stay ready.
Other news on the horizon. I have recently started collaborating with a new flock of musicians and a 10-piece operatic vocal group called Liederwolfe to help me fulfill an invitation by the CBC to perform a live set of some of my new and old tunes at Breakglass Studios (Besnard Lakes haunt) on May 30th. This intimate show for 25 of my friends will be recorded and aired across the country as a part of a new CBC series called ‘Live at Breakglass’.
Around the corner….. Our mighty force of 16 will be unleashing our material with a debut performance at Montreal’s Sala Rossa on Wednesday, May 28th. Orillia Opry will be opening the evening. Doors at 8:30. Show at 9:00. 10$. Come and see and hear as this night will no doubt be grandiosely epic.
Tour…. I will be adventuring west for a July tour in B.C. and Alberta. Stay tuned for show listings…
Thanks All,
Courtney
