Unseen Hands 12 songs 12 strings

My new album, Unseen Hands 12 songs 12 strings is now available on all streaming services and for download. Musically anchored in my Laskin 12 string guitar, the project explores our place on this planet, in this universe in these times. From the soil beneath our feet to the distant stars I explore my own feelings of both wonder and profound concern. The first single is “Hole In The Clouds, the opening track and you can watch the video here.

As well as playing multiple instruments myself I had stellar support from Ben Whiteley and Gord Mowat on bass, Bucky Berger on drums, Sundar Vishwanathan on bansouri flute and soprano sax, Tom Sczesniak on accordion and great harmony singing from Ciceal Levy, Adrienne Mackenzie and Georgia Harmer.

I’ll be featuring songs from the new album at a special house concert in the Sudbury area on Saturday, Nov. 9. You can get tickets to that event here! This will be a special evening in an intimate space and if you come you won’t be disappointed.

There will be a special release concert on Sunday, Nov. 24, 2:00 p.m. at Hugh’s Room Live, 296 Broadview Avenue and I will be joined by guests Ciceal Levy, Garnetta Cromwell and Georgia Harmer, plus a rhythm section anchored by Bucky Berger on drums and percussion and Ben Whiteley on bass. This is part of my ongoing Sunday Gospel Matinee’s although on this occasion while the music I sing will be “spiritual” it won’t be traditional “gospel”. However Ciceal and Garnetta, both incredible singers, will provide some gospel fervour to the show and if you haven’t heard Georgia Harmer she is both a great songwriter and an incredible singer.
