Long weekend…completed. PHEW! What a wild ride!
Aster Nox (Mystic Rock) closed the opening night of Come Together Music Festival in Durham ON on Friday Aug 29 (my b-day). THAT was fun. The venue is an ghost town in the middle of nowhere. The huge crowd greeted us warmly. Nice seeing so many people singing and dancing along to our tunes. Recently, Aster Nox finished recording 4 new songs. These songs feature other members in the group: Nik Hirt singing Hearts & Flowers is our first release. This song came to me after a wonderful week-long meditation retreat in the UK. I sat on the song for over a year before offering it to Nik. It was certainly worth the wait.
The rest of the weekend was spent playing blues/rock tunes with my cover band Whiskey Chasers in gritty ol' Barton Street, Hamilton ON. Mostly, I play guitar in that band, although I sing one song per set. The contrast between the shows is dizzying!
What's up now?
I'm about to release 2 novels…but I'm keeping them a secret…kind of… so you'll just have to wait.
Anyways, this is my first blog and I'm tired and cranky and needing caffeine, so I'll chat with you soon.
Stay true, my friends.
