The Second Hand Band @ the Corktown

Took the train into Hamilton last Saturday to take some photos of Pete Vandyk & his band at the Corktown Tavern. Good show. Good hangouts. Terrible weather.

This impromptu performance was filmed one night during Travis Caine and Pete Vandyk's "Ontario Howlin' Tour". We were staying the night at Ryan Barwin's (who you'll see playing a mean dobro) after the Ottawa date. The tour was a wonderful time spent sharing songs, stories and jugs of wine.

So... My "band" Rude Leaves is currently planning some plans with fellow songwriters Zachary Aasman & Pete Vandyk. It's exciting... so get fucking excited. You don't have to get excited, I suppose. You should get something though. I am assuming you're plaid shirt is too tight to allow you to get anything. Maybe it's real flannel... in which case... you might get a tad itchy.
Things are still in the planning stage... More information will develop soon.

I am too excited to sleep.

Also: This is the only reason anyone should be playing music. If you play music for some other reason... you clearly don't get it. At all.
