Jingle Bells

Featuring Marshall Birch who contributes hearty backing vocals, a much more convincing Neil impression, and a competing guitar solo.

Parody.

Come On, Have A Happy Holiday

Seriously Not Serious

Happy Birthday, Toby

This act is over! a result of the prolonged practicing of social distancing. 

Original song by Dave Bartholomew, made famous by Chuck Berry and that kid in the Simpsons who gets pulled off the stage.

This song was really challenging for me...but I did it for Nick.

Second iteration of 'Social DIS-DANCE' featuring my good friend and twice band mate, once room mate, Marshall Birch! 

The photo (which displays inappropriate levels of touch and proximity) was taken when we were in Kenora to play a show years ago by...Jonas? Katy?  Not sure. It was a night. 

I wrote and recorded this song and left spots open for guest vocalists/instruments/whatever! I will be releasing a few versions using the tracks interested parties sent me. I'll be uploading them one at a time and eventually all together as an EP.

Check out Marshall!

My friend Ivar challenged me to write a song about 'the early worm gets the bird' so I did.

The Early Worm

I bought a Mustang bass and wrote a song about it. Featuring backing vocals by 'Mustang Marshall' AKA Marshall Birch my old pal and longtime musical collaborator.

My friend Ivar asked me to write a song called 'there's a miniature Evan living in my house' and I kinda forgot what the exact wording was when I wrote this but yeah, I have a friend named Evan, this is a song about if a small Evan lived in my house and how I would feel about that.

Miniature Evan

A special song for a special boy. Me and Danny used to play Nirvana songs together a lot one summer, depending on who you ask the band was either called 'Danny Cobain' or 'Daneurysm'.

Love you, Danny!

I made this song for a video put together by Rachel and Karlee and it's super lovely so you should watch it if you know this wonderful guy. https://youtu.be/wACIqEa35cg

Happy Breeday

Cover of 'Eve of Destruction' most famously covered by Barry McGuire. Marshall and I both love this song and we were gonna play it maybe at a show in October but due to lockdown that didn't happen. Being as I still had a bee in my bonnet about the whole thing I wanted to cover it anyway and Marshall was kind of enough to indulge me and do his best Barry McGuire impression via some socially distant email collaboration.

Singing by Marshall and Steve
Song by P.F. Sloan but styled after Barry McGuire's version mostly as I don't know if I've ever heard the original now that I think of it!
