About Me

I've been making a record on Toronto Island with Dale Morningstar since April. It features Peter Hall (ex A Northern Chorus) on percussion, Cameron Malcolm on bass, Erin Aurich (Hey, Rosetta!) on violin, Aaron Goldstein on pedal steel and Adam Melnick on keys. This is the culmination of everything I've done over the past year and a half. The overdubs will be finished in August, and I expect it to be mixed, mastered and pressed sometime later in the fall.

You can wait for the record to be finished, or you can listen to the songs I've posted here.

Love,

tl
