Loved cranking out on this song, Take Me Down, knowing the band was there to keep the pocket tight.

I’m proud to be nominated for 2 East Coast Music A I’m proud to be nominated for 2 East Coast Music Awards this year. Roots Release of the Year for “San Palarino” and for TD Fans’ Choice Entertainer of the Year. The latter is open to the public for voting and the link is in my bio. 

I take my job and my passion as an artist living in Nova Scotia very seriously. It’s a discipline that’s full with challenges and rewarding experiences, and through it all I’ve been able to use what I can do as a means to raise my family. I believe repping NS on world stages is a calling and I’m honoured for the opportunity to be in this role.

I work to create art. Creating art is business. Cr I work to create art. Creating art is business. Creating art creates business. Businesses benefit from using the art I work to create. 

All week Nova Scotians from one end of the province to the other have joined in solidarity in sending a message to the Houston government that slashing and, in many cases, eliminating investments in arts, culture & heritage is NOT smart business!

I work for a living in this province.
I work for a living for this province. 
Investment in the infrastructure of this sector is critically interwoven into the success of the GDP in Nova Scotia.

Thank you Sylvie Marie for the vid.

I've been working on new music for the next album I've been working on new music for the next album and most times I keep that music to myself until I've recorded and released it. After this week's disastrous budget funding cuts from the Houston's PC government, I am compelled to get this one out there. I'd been working on this for a few weeks and then the Houston budget came and I saw the path forward to finish it.

I often ask myself WWGD, "What would Guthro do?"
If you're mad like I am, then ask yourself, 
"Why can't it get better?
Why can't it be easier?"
I look around and see so many people hurting.

If you're mad like I am, learn this song. Key of A (chords are A, D, E, with the occasional Bm and F#m in the bridge).
Share it. Learn it. Harmonize with it. Record yourself playing along with it and post it.
That's it.

Sing it with me, and maybe more importantly...
Sing it for me!
