17 year old Michelle Owen’s CD is well under way. Songs are written, bedtracks are cut. Now we’re finding colours and shades in overdubs and vocal performances. This is an unusual project in that it’s clearly a pop record, performed entirely by musicians [perhaps that shouldn't be so unusal?!]. A great new project that I look forward to introducing to you this fall.
Cadence Grace’s CD is mastered! Congratulations!!

Michelle Owen and I have just completed writing her first debut album, with musicians loading in on Saturday to record basic tracks. It’s always exciting to hear new song ideas from young artists and we had a lot of fun preparing the material. Now it’s time to unleash the beasts!
Attending the “Scratch My Back” Peter Gabriel concert in Montreal was a highlight of my concert-going career. Peter sang his new record of cover songs and some of his hits with remarkable clarity and laser pitch (he’s 60), accompanied by ‘only’ the 55 piece New Prague Orchestra. The arrangements were modern, adventurous and deeply satisfying. The orchestra’s performance was at moments dramatic, aggressive and then pin-drop sensitive. The use of on-stage, in-orchestra video cameras was playful and film noire. Wow.
I’ve wondered where aging rock stars go when they retire. If this kind of work is an option, I’ll rest in peace.
