a spectacular evening of funky powerful soul

The Media Club - Vancouver BC
695 Cambie street

I'll be doing an opening set for Jully black. You all know about me so let me tell you what I know about Jully Black.

She's one of canada's most popular soul singers. based in Toronto, she's penned songs for Destiny's Child and Nas, and shared the stage with Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Bon Jovi, Josh Groban and Usher. she's hosted the juno awards and is a host of e-talk daily. but more inportantly she's an amazing singer and I hear she's travelling with a killer band.

We're playing a very small venue and I'm sure that this one will sell out real quick. get your tickets soon through ticketmaster.

Home from the UK.
Hi Gang,
I've just returned home from a month long tour of the UK. I was over there working with a band called Po'Girl. We did 28 shows in England Ireland and Scotland. It was great to wander the green hills of England and drink some pints with the Irish. I'll post some photos below.
