Hello lovely people browsing Facebook,

I wanted to take a quick moment to let you know where you can see me play in the coming months and why you should come to all of these shows...haha...seriously though. Come. It makes me look really good AND it proves that you can still get people to come out to things while sucking quite hard at social media.

FIRST... I'll be the first performer of the season at Aurora, Ontario's new cultural centre on Victoria Street. I'll be there with my FULL quintet (Joel Visentin on Keys, Will Fisher - Musician on drums, Tom Fleming on guitar, and Mark Godfrey on bass) and the amazing "Trombone Charlotte" is opening the show. You can get tickets at the link below and please feel free to get extra tickets for everyone you know:

NEXT...I'll be doing a short set in Kensington Market with my trio on September 29th as part of Kensington Market Jazz Festival . Space is extremely limited (I believe less than 40 people?) and it'll be super informal, but a great opportunity for me to show off my burgeoning piano playing skills and let you hear some new songs I'm trying out. Tickets can only be purchased at the door with cash as is the way for all Kensington Market Jazz Fest events.

FINALLY... I'll be celebrating International Jazz Day at Koerner Hall with one of my favourite pianists on the planet - Sullivan Fortner. I'm verifiably pooping my pants over this one (is it ladylike to say that?). It's gonna be an amazing double bill with my quintet and I truly hope to see you all there because we're putting the YASSS in International JASSS. My jokes are so bad... Tickets below:

Hey friends!

Just popping in to say that if you were looking for last minute tickets to this weekend's Spring Fling at Beach United Church, there's a discount code. Type in FRIENDS25 at checkout for 25% off your tickets! Hope to see you there. It's gonna be the sophomore appearance of my trio with Tom Fleming on guitar, Will Fisher - Musician on drums, and myself on keys. Any song requests?

Oh man!! From the Pacific to the Atlantic and finally back home. Thanks to everyone in Alaska and Newfoundland who came out to see us play!! If you're in Toronto and feeling left out, here's what I'm up to in April:

April 11: I'll be one of over 100 artists raising money for The Unison Fund at The Old Mill as part of Jaymz Bee's Caravan of Music. It's only $40 for a seriously crazy lineup that plays from 8 pm to midnight. I'll be in the Kingsbrook Room with Sammy Jackson where we'll each do a set, myself with the full quintet (Joel Visentin- keys, Will Fisher - Musician- drums, Tom Fleming - guitar, Mark Godfrey - bass) at 9 pm, and Sammy with a trio (Tom Fleming - guitar, Ian Wright - drums) at 10:30 pm. This is a wacky event for a very good cause so do come out if you can make it:

April 16: I'll be playing a few songs solo as part of Ian Fisher's "Acoustic Tuesdays" in the round event. Join Ian Fisher, Rebekah Hawker, Hilary Watson, and me for a very intimate evening of songs and stories at Toronto's legendary Cameron House. I've always wanted to play this place and now I finally will...maybe I'll finally perform that vulgar song I wrote about that super mean arts presenter...but I'll probably chicken out.

April 27: Dear East Enders, I'll be at Beach United Church with my trio (Tom Fleming - guitar, Will Fisher - drums) as a guest artist for their Spring Fling event. You can hear us AND a set from the Beach United Church Choir for $40 ($15 for children). It's gonna be soooo nice!
