HEARTBEAT OF THE WORLD
My beautiful acoustic Folk/Roots/Americana album was officially released on Feb. 15, 2021 to Canadian radio!
It was released to Europe on June 20, 2021 through Medicine Show Promo out of Scotland and is receiving great reviews and airplay!
I am very proud and excited about the songs, the beautiful arrangements, accompaniment and the art work. I am sure you will enjoy these songs written in the crazy times before the pandemic and in the early months of the pandemic. The theme of the CD is HOPE!
The title song was written in response to all the world marches against racial intolerance.
I have also released a powerful video for the title track! Pease watch it... be inspired... and SHARE the video!

HEARTBEAT OF THE WORLD has been nominated for Folk Record of the Year!
The main theme of my Folk/Roots album is HOPE!
Using 3 songs written in the time leading up to the pandemic and 7 songs written during the pandemic I am proud to have released a new album called HEARTBEAT OF THE WORLD. This Folk album is produced by Calgary producer/recording artist, Aaron Young , who brings his amazing musicianship and harmonies. I write in a wide range of styles and Aaron brought the exact right beauty, style and emotion to each of the songs. This CD includes swing, bluegrass, folk story telling, world beat, old time blues and humour. I believe these songs will make listeners laugh, perhaps cry, definitely think and finally connect with a feeling of hopefulness and purpose!
LATE BLOOMER SHOW 2020 - 2021
I started a once a week theme based live stream show of all original music. Every Tuesday morning at 11am Calgary time I present a light hearted, interactive show using songs from my own extensive songbook that I call 'My Book of Bones'!!
THE FAMOUS 5 FOUNDATION is using my two songs about the Famous Five as part of the monthly International Virtual Pink Tea Speaker Series. The Ballad of the Famous Five talks about the struggle to win the Persons Case and The Spirit of the Famous Five encourages us to follow in the courageous footsteps of these five feisty Alberta women! They have also used my lyric video Brand New Mile and Singing in the Choir from my album HEARTBEAT OF THE WORLD!
FOOTHILLS FOLK CLUB 2019 - High River, Alberta
I opened for international Folk/Roots artist Scott Cook as a duo with fiddler Craig West.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN FOLK CLUB 2019
I opened for Emily Triggs with her band Carolyn Harley & the Davidsons
I released my first lyric video called BRAND NEW MILE on November 24, 2018!!
This song encourages us to connect with our body and our world!! It was written after a fitness/yoga class. The vocal and guitar were recorded in Calgary. The cello was recorded in Venezuela, the video was created in Sri Lanka and the final mastering was done in the United States. Such is the power of new technology!! Feel free to share this video back out into the world to perhaps bring some peace to people who feel connected to the song!!
I performed my song Devil Sky and placed first! I opened for Scott Cook as a duo with Craig West! Great fun!
