Jack White's Toronto gig poster is a tribute to local record stores -- including Encore in Kitchener (my former second home!)

Maybe not what you were expecting...

There are a couple of good Clive Davis stories in my book That Gun In Your Hand. One is Tim Rose talking about the night he recorded his version of "Hey Joe" with producer David Rubinson #CliveDavis

I share with great sadness the passing of Mike Little, co-founder of The Hello Darlins. Mike had been battling cancer but kept it private, given his devotion to his work. I'm proud that we were able to get his solo album Keys To The Universe out before he departed. More to come. #CanadianMusic

A reminder to summer readers, my new novel The City Knows is out now via Montag Press [LINK IN BIO] An early '70s L.A. noir, it follows two friends as they separately try to survive within the era's music and movie worlds. "No matter how well secrets are kept, the city knows." #BookSky

I was fortunate to catch the brilliant new Nash The Slash doc last night, and I highly recommend it. Not just a compelling and somewhat tragic story, it's a tribute to Toronto weirdness in general. A must-see for all new Angine de Poitrine fans as well.
