I'm doing a pre-order for my new album where you immediately get 4 tracks to hear before the album comes out in Sept! doing this and a bunch of other fun merch bundles cause i probably won't be touring this record for some time. if you enjoy my shows and music and normally buy my merch from a sweaty me after my show, this will have to take the place for now. Thanks so much. I'm very lucky and appreciate the support. <3 (at Halifax, Nova Scotia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdA9ESnBnn/?igshid=bf64b1whqrbp

‪20,000 voices of yours! if you saw me summer 2012 and remember me bringing out a mic, you’re on my new single Reset! i can’t believe it’ll be 2yrs until i can hear the sound of so many rad folks singing again but thank you for singing with me and i hope you dig the new song. ‬ (at North End, Halifax) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAaHLahHFR5/?igshid=1qqpsi2duuh96

here are the lyrics to my new single. the video comes out thurs and song friday. it’s very anti-gun and gun violence. video was a heavy one to make. (at North End, Halifax) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAX-a0kHCVi/?igshid=zl5ggyf640eo

lots happening this week. new single. new video. new album announcement. reflecting on the failures of Release (i’m proud of it and thankful of course for those of you who enjoy it) and thankful for HowItBreaks being my first single to be added to the CBC’s daytime programming and was number one this passed week on their charts. i’m wrapping my brain around not being able to perform maybe until summer/fall 2022 and gonna launch what hopefully is a unique campaign for the new album friday with pre-orders and new fun merch. just wanted to say thanks kindly for being with me and supporting me on this journey. as Beethoven once said, “it’s a long way to to the top if you wanna rock n roll”. photo by the amazing @tonjethilesen (at North End, Halifax) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVgPiiHTCG/?igshid=11lz9fe0z038a

last year today i released Release. i hope you’ve been enjoying it. it was quite a journey to make. i hope it quells others’ death anxieties as well or at least helps remind one of the importance of being in the present.

completing the voltron of powerhouse singers on the new single and coming record is Carleigh Aikins. she’s performed with so many artists on grand stages over the years and is a staple in toronto with Dwanye Gretzky as well. so pumped to have her janis level pipes on my new coming music. @gnarleigh_breakins 🧡oh she’s also a wicked painter as well scroll over to see.

2 more singers to profile all over the new album. @tarik_henry is the bedrock of the harmonies on the album. such a phenomenal singer. here’s a vid of him and the amazing @im_jamesbaley i think laughing at the fact that their harmony for the bridge of #HowItBreaks is just the same note over and over. ha (at North End, Halifax) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0qh-kHq15/?igshid=axz17nnnhl8i
