At Studio Loco, Montreal
Since September 2019 at Studio Loco here in Montreal, I've recorded some 35+ songs, including the EPs On This Shore and A Crystal Rim, the full-length albums By the River's Blue and Let's Talk, and official videos for several songs (see Videos). Here, a few snaps from that joyous, continuing collaboration: myself, Martin Bennett (arrangements/virtual instruments + electric guitar/recording engineering), plus guest artists Chard Chenier (harmonica), Jeff Deeprose (violin), Ellwood Epps (trumpet) and Leesa Mackey and Ema Jean (back vocals). Some of these recordings are on this site; all of them are available for listening/download on Bandcamp.
