Q&A

Q: Aren’t you that guy with the pig?
A: Yeah, that’s me. Back in 2018 when I released my first single, Falling Like The Rain, I drove across Canada promoting it - meeting radio folks, reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, and playing shows. I was driving back from my last stop in Edmonton Alberta to play a show in Barrie Ontario. I was just north of Thunder Bay when I found a tiny piglet sitting on the side of the road. He was pretty banged up. I cleaned him up, brought him home, and took care of him for a few months. During that time he came with me to shows, interviews, an awards show, and he made an unforgettable appearance on the album cover for Taking My Time - which earned me my first CCMA nomination. He’s living his best life on a beautiful farm now.

Q: Who are some of your influences?
A: Randy Newman, Randy Travis, Roger Miller, John Williams, and Weird Al to name a few.

Q: What kind of guitars do you play the most?
