The Eclipse tour went really well! I had such a blast. We played 8 shows in 11 days. Great experience doing an arena tour in a tour bus. I will be posting videos and photos as soon as I can. I’m currently working on the new Eclipse website which will have all the reviews and videos and pics. We’re also working on some new dates very soon in the new year along with some possible European dates as well!

On the studio side, I’m getting very busy with that right now. A few albums in the works for various bands. I also just judged a battle of the bands where the winner will get studio time in my studio. So lots of new things are happening. Stay tuned!!

Floyd Story Production inc. has been working so hard these last few months preparing for our November Tour.

This special 20-11 production of “Eclipse: The Pink Floyd Story” Honors over 40 years of Pink Floyd’s first concerts in Canada. The authentic stage show includes 14 technicians, 5 musicians, 3 backup singers, 150 moving lights, 40,000 watts of sound, spectacular lasers and round screen video projections highlighting historic moments in Pink Floyd’s career.

2011 is shaping up to be a great year. Lots of projects are in the works. I’m currently finishing the new Carolyn-Fe album. We’ve recorded 20 songs and are laying down some final touches. Then it’s choosing our favorite songs and mixing. All will be done in the next month. Also, I’m finishing off another album with Chaz and Pete and keyboardist Zach. We don’t have a name for the band yet. This album has been a lot of fun. We’ve been going old school with this by writing songs all together and recording the tunes live off the floor with no click or overdubs. I’m really looking forward to releasing this one! It’s sounding great!

Speaking of sounding great … my studio has been upgraded. I went from an old pro tools unit to a new Digi003. Things are sounding better than ever and I’m looking forward to having a busy year this year.

Speaking of which, there’s lots of things in the works for Eclipse. We have a show confirmation to start off our fall tour. We’re booked Nov 10th at the Pavillion de la Jeunesse in Quebec City to celebrate 40 years to the day (and same venue) that Pink Floyd played for the first time in Quebec. We’ll be bringing our huge show to Montreal, Gatineau, Kingston, Toronto and some more cities to come. It’s exciting time. Check out the site for more info to come (link on the side)

With all this happening I’ve decided to trim down some of the things I’ve been doing as well. I’ve quit doing broadcast514 and some other music projects I was a part of. It’ll give me time to focus on some things I need to and get my studio more busy. All in all … 2011 is looking like a great year!

Well, it has been a while. All went really well in Belgium. Eclipse played at the Forest National in Brussels. We sold out the venue and had a great response! Because of that we are in the process of setting up a small tour in the spring hitting a few venues in and around Belgium. We’re also working on an East Coast Canadian tour along with a big show in Montreal. I’ll post info as soon as things are confirmed.

On the studio side, things have never been busy. Working really hard on the new Carolyn-Fe CD. Things are going great! I’m really excited about this album. We have a huge amount of songs we’re working on and they are sounding great. I’m also in the process of recording some songs with Peter and Chaz (Eclipse, Invisible Man). It started as just jamming out some ideas but has turned into recording an album. Each song just sounds fantastic. We’re looking at recording this ‘old school’. Still doing it to protools, but after we write the tunes, we want to take a few days and track the whole album live. We realize that things sound so good just recording the writing and jamming process so we want to capture that. Along with that, there has been talk going back and forth for another Daniel Iorio album. Excitement is in the air. I’ve received a bunch of demos from him and I’m excited to get to work on them. This album will be more stripped down compared to the last album. This will also be more of a “live off the floor” type of concept. I’m very pumped about this.

There are also some other things in the works for me that I’m excited about and once I get things on the way with them, I’ll be posting more info. Stay tuned!!!

Ok, so I haven’t been keeping up to date on my blogs. It’s so tough now a days with facebook, myspace, band websites and so much more. But eventually I come around.

So there’s been a lot going on this summer. I just finished producing the new record “Gotta Find a Way” by Jamirae. She’s a Country artist from Missouri. Had a great time recording the album and I’m really looking forward to seeing how far she’s going to go with it. I’m already checking out tunes for her next album!

Also, plans are set for my gig in Belgium at the end of the month. I’m really looking forward to that. This show will help open doors for more tours in Europe and beyond! I’ll definitely post news and pics of that adventure for sure.

And what’s on the horizon? I’ve already started writing / pre-production and recording tracks for the upcoming Carolyn-Fe album. This one is going to be a doozy! Just the pre-prod stuff sounds really good. What’s great about this time around is that it is more of a band effort unlike the last album. So I’m psyched about that. We’ve been playing a lot of shows this year and we’ve created such a great vibe on stage that we are capturing in the studio. When all is said and done, I think we’ll come out with a very good product that we’re all going to be proud of.

Had a great show last night at Club Lambi with Carolyn-Fe. It was a benefit to raise money for the Haiti relief effort. It was great to see so much support for this cause. The night was just fantastic with artists like Steve Rowe and James Green lending their talents for the night. The lovely and talented Darragh Hemmings from Mohawk-Radio.com did a great job as MC for the night. And for the people who stayed all the way to the end we were blessed with an impromptu performance with Jimmy James and Graham Chambers. It was a night to remember and I was thankful to be a part of it.

Hey everyone, I finally got around to updating my site and changing some things up. All the blogs below were copied/paste from my old website, so the dates will be all wrong.

Anyhow, this site will be a lot easier for me to handle and update, so come back often!!!!

So a new year is about to start. There is a lot on the horizon that is very exciting. A few albums will be completed and a few new ones will be started. The Pink Floyd Story just signed with Gillette Entertainment Group. A lot is still in the works. Currently booking new recording projects as well. Looking forward to 2010.

ust wrapping up some final projects before I leave. I’m just finishing up the mixing for the first 5 songs that I’m recording for Carolyn-Fe’s album. Songs are sounding great. We were able to get some talented players for the tunes. One song I’m excited about has an incredible trumpet player on it. I’m very happy I was able to capture the incredible tone this man has. And it’s an honor to have a piece of history working with us.

I just completed music for a song I’m producing for a great singer from the U.S. She has a great voice and I’m very excited to be working with her. We’ll be completing the vocals when I get back from Morocco. Check out her page at :  www.myspace.com/itsjamiraemusic

I’m also in the process of working with another great talent, Vicki Tetrault. We’ve met up a few times and we’re working on some great things. This girl is the total package. Just you wait for the New Year!! www.myspace.com/vickitetreault

And finally, the play ‘Almost Blue’. I’ll be finishing the sound effects for the play this week along with the web site. I’m sad that I won’t be able to see the play in action. So I urge all of you to go for me! Many times!!

You’ll be seeing a new page link soon on my site. I’ll be creating a blog section to keep everyone up to date with my adventures in Morocco. I’ll be adding stories, photos and video for you guys to see. So stay tuned!!
