Paul and I met last fall at Catherine North Studios when we were both working on projects with producer Michael Chambers. His first release is a beautiful arrangement of reflective themes with similarity of City and Colour. The songs with Kirk Starkey on cello are captivating. (Kirk also played on my song “I Will.”)
I’m exciting to bring Paul here for his first musical appearance in Michigan. He’s one of those kind-hearted Canadians who you can become friends with after a 20 minute conversation, and it’s been a blessing to have friends across the Ambassador Bridge who are passionate about music and art.
