Happy start of summer, friends! 

Hoping this note finds you well and that you are soaking in the rays of the almost forgotten sun.  It has been many months since I wrote a little note here, and I will be revamping certain sections of the site to make it even better.  I am very happy with the results so far and look forward to adding some new content over the summer months.  I have been writing again and it is my hope to begin putting some of these ideas down and share them with you via download and physical media.  I don't want to say I am working on my next "album" because if I do I might jinx it.  Juices are flowing again and for that I am happy.  

I would love to do some touring and come visit certain cities that would like me to perform.  If you are outside Hamilton and you would love to hear me play in your home town, send me a message here through the site and I will be in touch.  I really do feel that I have reached a new level in terms of my solo show and would love to play in some new corners of the world.  

In honour of the impending 17 year anniversary of "Blue Suburban Skies", I have released my limited edition EP, FOR GEORGE, as an mp3 digital download on the site.  It is the only place where you can get my version of "Don't Let Me Wait Too Long" which to my ears still sounds pretty good. 

This Friday I will be at Grain and Grit breweries one more time from 7 - 9 p.m. and this Sunday I will be playing at the Thirsty Cactus in Dundas for the Buskerfest weekend.  Both shows are free and are listed on my site.  If you come and see me, please come over and say hello. 

Have a glorious summer and hope to see you at a show! 

Hello friends! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that you are enjoying a bit of rest in the midst of the season.  Graceworks had two very significant gatherings (A Time to Remember - bereavement gathering, and a Christmas Eve Celebration) and I will enjoy a few days of rest before ramping up for 2019. 

I will be offering the song, "Christmastime, Again" as a free download AND will extend the "Round" on 180 Gram Vinyl sale (Regular price $25, Sale Price $15) until December 31, 2018 so don't miss out!  The only other way to get "Christmastime, Again" is on the "Love is Everything" CD and it is officially sold out, and Round on vinyl is becoming a very rare disc (only 500 ever made) and close to selling out.  If you love vinyl and have a good turntable, it is worth it to get this pressing. 

I am keeping my fingers crossed that there will be a new record in the works in 2019 and a possible tour as well.  To make it happen I will be looking at some sort of crowd funding initiatives which will be shared here. 

Keep Saturday February 16, 2019 open as we will be holding our last For George show at the Pearl Company (as they are closing in May of this year). 

May 2019 bring incredible blessings, joy and prosperity to you all and I look forward to seeing you at a show!

Hello friends!

Well, the title is not suggesting a NEW version of the Fab Four, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Advent Season.  Advent begins on the 4th Sunday before Christmas and is a time of preparation of not only the busyness of our seasonal lives, but more importantly for our hearts and souls as we remember the gift of the Christ child to humanity. 

To celebrate the beginning of Advent, I will be performing and leading a performance of my 2004 Christmas album, "A Sign Unto You" along with the Graceworks musical team at the Hamilton Spectator Auditorium starting at 8 p.m. this Sunday (December 2, 2018) which is also my birthday.  I can think of no better way to celebrate my birthday than to make this music with my friends and celebrate together the great things God has done for us.  It is a free event so I hope to see you all there.  It will be an intimate time of music, readings and reflections and I know it will be a meaningful way to spend a Sunday night.  Hope to see you there.

It has been 17 years since George Harrison went home.  His influence not only in every aspect of my music making (people do tell me that I vocally interpret George the best) but also in his passion for making spiritual music that is always an unpopular genre it seems.  He received a lot of flack and yet I believe his music was the strongest when he remained honest and true to himself.  The closest I got to George was asking him a question in the Yahoo Chat he did to coincide with the reissue of "All Things Must Pass" in 2001.  You can do a google search and see the question I asked him.  I miss his guitar playing, his songs and his sense of humour.  On Saturday February 16 we will be hosting another "FOR GEORGE" evening and it will probably be the last one at the Pearl Company as they will be closing operations as of May 2019.  Check here for news and for ticket sales shortly!  God bless George.

In a week from Saturday we will be at the Zoetic in Hamilton (one of my favourite rooms now for live music) doing our first IMAGINE PEACE:  CELEBRATING JOHN LENNON show in four years on Saturday December 8 at 8 p.m..  Tickets are now onsale and can be purchased here:   https://thezoetic.ticketleap.com/imagine-peace/  This event promises to sell out so get your tickets ASAP!   The lineup is fabulous and the band, as always, is first rate. 

Finally, as a special to celebrate the redesign of the web site, I am offering a special sale:  Buy a limited edition copy of ROUND on 180 gram vinyl (500 copies pressed at RTI and mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray) for $15.00 CDN (regular price $25 CDN) plus shipping from November 8 until December 8. 2018.  I will also have some copies available at the Imagine Peace show but know that once they are gone, they are all gone.  There will be no repressings of this version of Round.  Make a Christmas miracle happen for me and get yourself a copy (or three)! :)   For those in the Hamilton area I can drop the album to you in person if you like (to make sure it arrives safe and sound).  It makes a GREAT Christmas gift!

Keep your eye on the site between now and Christmas for some musical holiday cheer.  Happy Advent!

blessings,

Christopher
