Shirley Loves Music

I had been idle before moving up to the country and saw an Open Mic at the Shirley Hall back in 2018.  First time back on stage in a long time.  The room was packed and the ambience was perfect.  The audience's response ignited the creative spark inside me which paved the way to the next chapter in my musical career.                          Songwriter Performer

Museum Thursday Night Market

      

 

Katrina Kadoski, an incredible writer and performer in her own right, at her performance, introduced me to Wendy.  Wendy offered me a spot and I soon became a regular.   Two stages, one at each end of the market and in the middle a packed house full of cheerful folk meandering through the abundance of vendor's stalls.                           My kinda of town!       

Metchosin Farmers Market

A short ride along Hwy 14, past those Sooke Hills. down to the majestical Metchosin lands, sits a lovely park with a Sunday Market.  And as luck would have it this lead to Santa Hat gigs across the street at the  Arts and Cultural Centre Xmas Extravaganza.   

39 Days of July

Such a pleasure to perform at this festival for the last two years.  Hats off to the Duncan Cowichan Festival Society for years of great organizational skill.  I remember asserting to the crowd, "I arrive and perform for an hour and then it's off into the wind.  While the organizers are there everyday, Sunup till Sundown for the whole affair.               Kudos to everyone who makes the 39 Days of July, a rather fun place to be.  

Sooke Music and Arts Festival

Sooke Sat Market and the All Sooke Arts and Crafts

Roger Martin

When Roger came to town he really had a good business sense combined with an extraordinary talent of engaging the crowd.   Roger would often say while others were sleeping he was out there getting the business done.  And he did!  It was a sweet whirlwind.
