ABOUT ME

I love music and really dig local scenes wherever I can find them. I enjoy the nightlife and spent a few years deeply involved with the Toronto music scene as a musician, writer, producer and most importantly audience member
I used play bass in the Toronto based rock and roll trio 'The Shenanigans'. The other two guys are currently working on a project called 'Black Pistol Fire' in Austin, Texas. The new album drops in Fubruary. You can check out some of the tunes below, (though by no means is my love for music limited to the bluesy rock and roll scene):
