My newest solo album, titled John Buchan’s Poetry in Song, is now available for free streaming on YouTube. The album features my musical performances of ten early John Buchan poems, most of which were written in the 1890s during Buchan’s university days at Glasgow and Oxford. During the past several years, I spent many happy […]

During the Covid 19 lockdown earlier this year, Mike Bon Jorno and I co-wrote and recorded a new song–a little public service announcement–titled “Stop Touching Your Face.” You can listen to it on Mike’s YouTube channel by clicking here. Thanks for listening–we hope it will make you smile!
I would like to thank everyone who came out to support my coffeehouse concert yesterday evening at Cafe Voltaire. You were a lovely audience, and I left the stage feeling elated. Best of all, I was able to raise $250 (the proceeds from my performer’s pay, the tip jar, and CD sales) to help fund […]
During the recent UNBC Faculty strike, I posted a new song on YouTube called “Picket Line.” It’s a light-hearted ditty combining the genres of the labour song and the love song. To check it out, please visit my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkvAe6J1N74.
On Friday evening I’ll be performing a 90-minute concert at Café Voltaire (located at 1685 3rd Avenue in Prince George). The concert will begin at 7:00pm. Admission is free, and all ages are welcome. I’ll be donating my performer’s wage, the contents of the tip jar, and all CD sales to a The United Way […]
On July 31st Mike Bon Jorno and I released Truth to Power, our first collaborative album. Many of the tracks are protest songs that we composed in real time as walls were being built, borders closed, climate science denied, racism celebrated, trade wars launched, and real wars threatened. To listen online, please visit our Bandcamp […]
This morning the University of Northern British Columbia issued a press release to formally announce that the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada has awarded me a $67,000 Insight Grant to fund a four-year research project entitled “The Life and Literary Adventures of Sir Francis Bond Head.” Head (1793-1875) was a Romantic man […]
During the past week I’ve been in London putting the finishing touches on my forthcoming book titled Transatlantic Upper Canada: Portraits in Literature, Land, and British-Indigenous Relations and doing research in the British Library for my new SSHRC-funded project on The Life and Literary Adventures of Sir Francis Bond Head. Tomorrow I will head north […]

During my two-week visit, I will present an invited talk on Romantic literature, read and study in some local archives, meet and converse with students and faculty members, and work on the revisions to my forthcoming book. I have also […]
