TNYK History Project : The Archives : Dear Me part 1
Nearly a decade ago, I started a band in Guelph, Ontario called Dear Me. There aren't many recordings from that time, but we did have one of our first out-of-city gigs recorded. That gig was at The Rockpile in Etobicoke. It was an old heavy metal venue that had a decorative electric chair next to a mug shot wall. We had only been a band for a couple months at most and we were all still getting used to playing these songs. Between a nearly complete lack of monitors and inexperience, it certainly wasn't our best show, but we had a great thing going on in those days.
Join me as I stroll down memory lane, listening to songs I almost never play anymore...but maybe I should.

TNYK History Project - The Archives - The Misprints
At the end of 2015, I met Tim Coker (https://timcokermusic.wordpress.com/?fbclid=IwAR05L4j128CJMFHFn6Apk1j5A4WKJtpReS3iNWqnpACaLmvDgZENbf0ofGc) at the legendary Grumpy's open mic. Together, we started The Misprints. Ok, we started 16 Towers that turned into The Misprints and we may have had a few other names in there as well.
That year, we played at every open mic we could and quickly started getting paid gigs. Our band grew into a 6-piece with saxophone, bass, drums, lead guitar and two singer/songwriters, me and Tim. We played at Brutopia, Anti-cafe, The Bar Fly, The Pistolero and many others. We performed at POP MTL at Bar LeRitz with the Maybe Greys (https://maybegreys.com/) and May Have (https://mayhaveband.com/). Shortly thereafter, we lost our sax player to New York and everyone else just fell apart.
But, we have a recording of the first time that Tim Coker, Christopher Poolman and I got together to make music in Tim's big room in the gay village. It was pretty magical.

Unknown Artist : Season 2 : E12 : Matt Damron - We should always be getting better, right?
Matt and I worked together on the Bluebird EP we recorded in Wakefield last December. Since then, we've continued to play together on each other's songs. He came into the studio this summer while the quarantine was relaxed and we had a nice, chill time.
Matt’s latest project is a cross-national collaboration with Brandon Carswell produced remotely between Montreal and Nashville during the early stages of quarantine. Check out Nice Dreams (https://artist.landr.com/music/672985416307).
