On Sunday, August 12th, I had the pleasure of playing at the Ottawa Farmers’ Market on Brewer Park across from Carleton University. My very good musician pal, J. Alexander Vance, of Doll and Bad Science Fiction joined me for the day as we played 2 sets for the visitors looking for fresh produce, baked goods, and local wares. My wife, Michaela sang a few songs with us too. She has a beautiful voice and has a real talent for singing, especially harmonies, and songwriting. It was such a pleasure to sing with her and Mr. Vance. I think we’ll have to do it again real soon.
For those of you who didn’t make it, or didn’t know we were playing, here’s a sampling of the tunes we played: 1 SJS original, 1 JAV original and 1 Beatles tune we covered.

Thanks to Nicole Colbeck of Little Acorn Music Management for connecting us with this gig. She is a great supporter of local music in Ottawa and even opens up her home to concerts throughout the year. Check out the Westboro House Concerts website for details!
Enjoy the tunes!
