Hello from Dawson City, Yukon!

I’m spending the month of January as songwriter in residence with the Dawson City Music Festival. This quiet little gold rush town is currently under a blanket of white, and still as can be. Long tails of smoke slipping from every chimney into the calm that surrounds. Beautiful and mysterious, much like home (NL). A great time for meditation and future planning. I’m in the ever-haunted Macaulay house, working on new music to be recorded in February at McGill University in Montreal. I’ve also been branching outside of songwriting, working on other written pieces which will hopefully come to light this year or the next.

I’ll be guest hosting a show on Dawson’s own CFYT this Wednesday, January 18th at 6pm (10:30pm NL time). I’ll be playing some music that’s caught my attention lately, with a brief segment on NL music as well. You can tune in online here… http://cfyt.ca/listen-live

Also! New shows coming up. Starting with a show on February 1st here in Dawson City at the KIAC Ballroom. I’ll also be playing at one of my favourite spots in Montreal Le Cagibi on Wednesday, February 8th. Keep your eyes peeled to the “Shows” section for more details soon.

I hope you’ve been settling into winter wherever you may be.

More to come,

SM

We’re excited to be playing our final show of 2016 at the George Street United Church on Thursday, December 22nd for a Lawnya Vawnya Christmas! Also featuring the amazing Wunderstrands, and Kat McLevey! Tickets are at Fred’s Records and O’Brien’s Music in St. John’s! Doors are at 7pm, show starts at 8pm. Really excited for this one!! Come support LV and your buds!

Hey folks,

I write this in-between email’s, confirming Christmas shows and plans for 2017. It seems the year is quickly slipping away. However we have some great shows planned for St. John’s to send 2016 out in style. More information on Christmas shows coming very soon. I can tell you that myself and KIM HARRIS are doing a brief tour of Newfoundland in November, starting with a kick off show at the Rock House on November 4th (with local party heroes INDIA). Both myself and Kim will be full band for that one. Then it’s off for duo shows at the Citadel House in Lewisporte (Nov.5th) and at the RAC in Corner Brook (Nov.6th).

Also, my new album with Joshua Van Tassel is coming along! Very excited to share this collaboration with you in the new year.

Hope the fall is treating you well. Stay warm.

July 16th at the Rock House will see the Wandering Kind paired up with Green & Gold, and Brianna Gosse, to bring a parting set in the summer heat. With a new album in the works, and hectic lives overlapping, the group will be resetting for a while before resurfacing for shows. New music, and friendship confirmed.
