专辑简介

"Once You Get your Chops..." as a title was inspired by a comment used by my father when referring to perfecting and ensuring continued refinement of one's craft. Each song represents a place or time that I found inspiring in my travels among the islands and the west coast of BC. All of my songs encapsulate relationships and the way they influence emotions. Lyrically I like to use my imagination to convey underlying meaning that remains open to a broad brush of interpretation. A number of songs are collaborative musically with west coast musician and songwriter Paul Marcano and were all recorded at his Visual Breakfast Studios on Salt Spring Island, BC. As a first album this Indie release was created over a period of two years and reflects a welcome return to my island and family roots. Enjoy.
