The Rally returns to Hamilton this summer when Arkells and special guests visit Tim Hortons Field on Saturday, June 20, 2020. With the help of friend of the band and NBA Champion and All-Star head coach, Nick Nurse, the band announced The Rally on Friday morning. The video clip is fun, funny, and starts a […]
Canadian rock bois, Arkells, are back with a new track, Years In The Making, and we’re here for it! The band started teasing the track on February 21st when they asked “WHO’S READY TO ADD ANOTHER HIT 👀?” in a social media post. Then, on Sunday the 23rd, they ramped up the excitement with the […]
Moments and memories. It’s been an interesting year. During the past 12 months, I shot fewer shows than at any time since starting this journey. It’s been a year of change, growth, and focus. We’ll see what next year brings. As we wind down the clock on 2019, I’m happy to talk about some of […]
As the year comes closer to a close, I find myself looking back at 2019 and the moments and memories that stick out the most in my mind. It wasn’t easy to pick a list of only 10 moments to share with you here. In fact, I couldn’t because I ended up with an A […]
Every year I listen to a lot of music. Some of it brand new, some of it classic, some if it somewhere in between. And for the last few years we’ve put posts together to share the albums that we’ve listened to the most. So here are my most listened to albums of 2019. Before […]
Spotify is rocking it on social media right now. Search #SpotifyWrapped on any platform, and you’ll find millions of results. There’s always controversy over streaming music.

Albums. A collection of songs released together, often having a theme. The theme of this post is my favourite albums, or at the very least, my most played albums. The list includes four Canadian albums (three Canadian bands), four American albums, one UK band, and one Irish band. There’s a lot of rock, some straight-up […]
On Thursday night, Arkells rolled into Oshawa and the Tribute Communities Centre on the Rally Cry Tour, and it was awesome. It was also different, because instead of going as an accredited media member, I was on the General Admission floor with my fiance for date night and to take in the show. I didn’t […]

2018 has been a year full of amazing memories for me. My son Oliver was born, I got engaged, and I had the chance to see great concerts, interview talented artists, and experience some awesome backstage moments. As we continue our year in review content series, I’ve taken a look back at all of the […]
