I am excited to announce that my upcoming and long-awaited new album is in its final stages of development. I am hoping to make it available for purchase on iTunes before the end of the month. Consider this page like a virtual "tip jar” and know that every contribution, big or small, helps in its completion and anticipated release.
It goes without saying that times are tough right now, not only for musicians. Covid-19 has come in the midst of all my album-release plans for the upcoming season. 2020 began with talks of taking this music on the road and touring with fellow musicians. We’d begun booking shows across Ontario and potentially even out to BC. Self-isolation and social-distancing recommendations have unfortunately put these plans on hold, but we believe in this music and still want to share it with Canadians everywhere.
In recent years, since my return from touring with The Glorious Sons, I’ve been especially busy working hard creating new and original content, while still playing a range of live, intimate, solo shows and sitting-in with other local talents. I’ve honed my recording, mixing and engineering skills and have been working persistently on creating new, high-quality, professional content. I’m excited to take this next step in my music career, but it is not without its own challenges.
For those who know me and my music, thank you for all your support over the years and continued support with this new venture. For those who are new to my music, stay tuned . With a big help from your generosity, I hope to release more high-quality content, more frequently for the foreseeable future.
As a taste of what’s to come, I present “Elephant Balloon”, the first track from my upcoming album. This is a song I’ve held too close for far too long. A big thanks and shout-out to the band: Bruce Francis, Brandon Humphrey, Tom Savage and Curtis Weekes. I’m honoured to make music with you, even if it’s through a webcam, kilometers away.
I’m very excited to share this with everybody,
Thank you again,
Tony
