A song about heartbreak. Nothing too original there, but still... nice song I think. Recorded in LA with Rami Jaffee.

Grace

A song about personal growth and transformation and how you should take me back as a result of how mature I've become. Seriously... sooooo mature. Recorded with Rami Jaffee, Rusty Anderson and a bunch of other legendary players

Particular Wave

Wrote this when I was 20 about waiting for my unborn child. Now I'm still waiting. Starting to think I'm sterile. 

Lullaby

A recording I did with some incredibly talented rockstars in LA. The song's about people talking shit about me, which I can deal with, but then you too? Cold as ice, baby.

It's Alright, Okay?

Sachiko Says

Me and Bobby Baxmeyer jamming out at the Cutting Room. A song all about my numerous contentious experiences crossing the border from Canada into the US.

Border Guard

A very recent demo of a song I quite like I recorded with the wonderfully talented Vince Balderini.

Melt

A demo of the song my band 9 gardens submitted for Eurovision to represent Romania, where we were semi finalists. I am not, however, Romanian which may have impeded our progress in the competition.

All For Naught

In honour of my new bride, I'm uploading this demo of a song I wrote about our LDR. The song's different now, but this is the first time I recorded it in Thailand at my friend Justin's place. It has fewer chickens in it now and a couple more verses and a bridge, no guitar solo. But really, I just miss the chickens. 

On The Moon

I once asked a longtime girlfriend what she would rate our relationship out of 20. She said "15" which was my first indication that I was losing her and the inspiration for this song.  I would've said at least 17.5...

Miss Chin

demo of a new song I wrote and recorded in Thailand with Justin Robitaille. It's rough as I wrote the song the hour before we recorded, but I think Justin did a nice job capturing the sound of the guitar and voice. Let me know if you like it and I'll record a more polished version!

Your Smiling Face

Little demo for a Romanian animated series about forrest animal activists. And why not.
