Leonard and Joni: The Untold Love Story

Festival Place, 100 Festival Way, Sherwood Park, AB

A concert and storytelling show about Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell's brief but intense romantic relationship in 1967. Obviously it'll be chock full of wonderful Leonard and Joni songs, I'll do the Joni bits and the wildly compelling Joe Nolan will do the Leonard bits, and we'll be backed by all my favourite ringers – Jamie Cooper on drums, Harry Gregg on bass, Rooster Davis on organ, and Chad Murphy on guitar. I do believe it's going to be a rather fantastic night. Tickets are $42, and should be purchased in advance. It'll likely sell out.

North Country Acoustic Music Camp

North Country Campground, Driftpile, AB.

3rd Annual music camp at the site of the legendary North Country Fair. I've been with this camp from the beginning, and it's a joy, and the line-up of instructors this year is pretty fantastic. I'll be taking care of everything vocals and choir, and am also the resident open guitar tunings nerd and theory geek.
