Well, it’s been quite a year! 

While the last 3 months have been a battle with long Covid, filled with some highs and many lows, I wanted to end the year with Gratitude in my life and in my heart…

It has been quite an exciting month here, with the launch of the Haunted Cowboy Sounds album, as well as its companion album, The Wanderer EP (7 Classic Country Songs). Thankfully, the excitement continued this week as The Set…

"Sometimes we don't need words to express ourselves..."

- The Robotanist

As a singer-songwriter, it had never really occurred to me in my almost 30-years of songwriting to create an instrumental song for an album. After all, as a musical…

“On a lonely dusty trail 

Walks a lonely broken soul 

He’s so far from home 

     There’s nowhere left to go…” 

For those of you that know me personally or follow along regularly on Instagram and the other social media channels…

Album titles, and album covers… Along with the actual writing and recording of music, creating the titles and covers are two of my favourite things about the process. It’s a fantastic way to add a little personality to a project…

“This old tree reminds me of, 

    A love we used to share. 

You had to go, 

    I know that now...” 

Ah, Candace… Honestly, probably my favourite song off the Haunted Cowboy Sounds album, that’s why I wanted to include…

“Day turned to night. Night became years. She came with the rain. She washed over me” 

For the past few albums, I have been focused on telling stories based on the feelings in and around falling in love; it’s…

Introducing Haunted Cowboy Sounds - A 10-song collection of sadly-optimistic indie folk songs, exploring the highs and lows of love. The uplifting feeling of finding love - the heartbreak of saying goodbye. 

If you have been following along on my…

"Well, I have a big heart... I bought it at the dollar store..."

The Robotanist album was written, recorded and mixed. A release date was set and the tracks were being moved to Bandcamp and the online distributors. Everything…

"There Was a Girl with Peanut Butter Hair..." 

If I had to choose a favourite song that I have written and recorded, I would have to say that Peanut Butter Hair from the My Best Friend B (Songs for Kids…

Welcome to a new feature on the blog:  

“What I’m listening to on Tuesday”  

These new bi-weekly posts will be an ongoing series, taking a look at some of the songs, albums, or

concerts that have inspired me in some…

The first time I hit the stage was at an open mic in Ste Anne de Bellevue, Quebec... Nothing too glamorous, I think I played guitar on a jam of Neil Young's Down by the River. As someone that…

This song holds a special place in my heart - it was written with a very kind-hearted friend in mind, and Wednesday Song marks the first time I have written and recorded an instrumental song. It came about quite by…

“Whatever it is going to be, it becomes that.” - George Harrison in Get Back 

It is a question I am often asked, and it is a question I will never tire of answering. Who, or what, is a Robotanist…

Ah, labels. We all do it. I think it helps us to keep things sorted in our mind if we can put things into certain categories. That’s especially true for music. From an industry perspective, labelling music as a certain…

Howdy!

Well, if you made it this far, you have made my day. Seriously, you have - thank you. Welcome to the first post on The Blog.

As some of you already know, for almost 30 years now, I have…
