Hey there, a very late update on things shocked

Hello everyone out there, so sorry for the long overdue posting. Things have been quite busy in these parts - The school board program ran in April and was another huge success. After 9 years, I still have a blast working with the classes and stretching drumming into social studies, science and all other curriculum areas.

Music In The House just wrapped up our 8th year in business with a great year end concert. Our theme was the 70's and we heard Disco to Alice Cooper to The Jackson to David Bowie. The students continue to work hard and amaze us with their abilities.

Aaron Pritchett has been busy working on his new album due out in the fall, and we have been playing some killer shows all over the country. Summer is quite busy, checkout his you tube page for a glimpse into our world on and off the stage. I have also been doing some gigs with EMI artists One More Girl. These girls are fabulously talented and will have a long career in this industry for sure.

Sessions have been steady with everything from new country to rock to folk and many other styles. I will post up some new tunes in the audio section for your listening pleasure :)

Summer is busy with playing all over Canada as well as running a summer program at MITH called "Master Class Mondays". The idea is to talk about stuff we don't get a chance to i our regular lessons like - Drumsticks, Heads and tuning, A visit to a studio and see the process, A jam with some great players, A visit from a drum maker, etc. It should be a blast for the 12 students involved, I wish someone had taught me about this stuff when I was in my teens.

I will also update the Black Page section with issues and articles from myself.

That is it for now, I promise to keep updating things more frequently.

Stay well and have a great summer everyone.
