My apologies for the lossy recording, the recorder died and only this iphone take surives. Still a great raw snapshot into our rehearsals for our Canada Games show in Sherbrooke, Quebec - August 2013.

Blues Manis

The beginnings of an exciting new project...

Oh Yes

Just came across this old recording I slynched together at 4:00am the night before a deadline. 

From the project leaflet:
"Believe it or not, this song started off as a 1930s-style blues. I wanted to create something new for this project and, while fiddling with some ideas, I decided to try my hand at writing a song around a novel guitar tuning – one I had never used before - while still incorporating many of the musical elements seen in class. I see it as Open C7 (C,Bb,C,G,Bb,E). 

 (Un)fortunately, while excitedly exploring my new tuning options, I snapped my high-E string with a hasty clock-wise twist. Now left with only the 5 bottom strings to my beloved acoustic, I was reminded of Ike Turner’s Kings of Rhythm having been forced to record Rocket 88 with a perforated guitar amplifier and I told myself, “The show must go on.” I kept the sombre blues fingerpicking pattern, but with my new set of conditions, the song quickly went in it’s own direction. 

More Ravi Shankar than Son House, East of Delhi is a hybrid of different musical styles with influences spanning the last century. Specifically, it incorporates a wide array of rock, blues and Indian influences. Artists I felt most inspired by were Led Zeppelin, Shankar and Harry Manx."


Enjoy and thanks for listening.
