I am very much looking forward to my upcoming show in Toronto as part of the NXNE festival and the Taylor Mitsopulos Burshtein Showcase event. The date of the show is Friday June 13th 2008 and it’s at The Rivoli on Queen St W. I have played at the Rivoli before and actually met fellow songwriter Andrew Cash there. We were part of a songwriter’s night in March of 2002 and upon mutually enjoying each others musical style, writer-heros and hair, decided to try song crafting together at some point.
Later that year, I made some time to hang out with Andrew in Toronto and we worked on and completed a song idea that I had been spinning in my head. I had previously tape recorded some melody lines and lyrics while standing in my empty bathtub at home, and mailed them out ahead of my arrival hoping he might understand my idea. And he did. And we wrote “Modest Lovely” together. He said, “This is about loving someone who doesn’t fully love themselves just yet, right?”.
I haven’t seen Andrew since, but we keep in touch and I’m so grateful for the song and for the time we spent shooting the breeze.
And now, The Rivoli awaits again. New songs to come…
Namaste
