Maskinhallen Sessions

May 24 & 25, 2022
These songs were recorded live off the floor over two days in Frederikshavn, Denmark. The Maskinhallen is an old electricity generating station now transformed into a gorgeous venue and made available to us through the incredible generosity of Jens Ole Amstrup – musical director and head of development. I began working with The Sentimentals in 2018 (thank you, Jonathan Byrd, for the introduction) and immediately fell in love with all things Denmark. These sessions were a chance to reconnect with my pals after two years of pandemic lockdown and difficult isolation from live music and the friendship of the road.

The Mule Spinner Live

April 21, 2018
The Mule Spinner – another repurposed industrial building – is at the heart of the old Cotton Factory in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. What was once a busy textiles plant is now a hub for creative arts and live performance as well as a regular location for film and television shoots. When Bob Lanois took over The Mule Spinner with Glen Marshall he invited me to perform solo in the new venue and, at the last minute, we decided to record the concert.
