New Years News!

Tue, 28 Dec 2010 00:00:00 -0800

Bird to Prey would like to wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year! It's been a slightly crazy year for me - it's been a year since I left Toronto and almost a year living in New York City! Many ups and downs living in this crazy town, but mostly ups (They say the first year living here is the hardest) so I'm looking forward to the future and processing all that's been and I have a feeling that 2011 is going to be a very exciting year indeed! I have a small tour booked in Early Feb - heading to Chicago and a few places in between (more info will be coming soon) and have just booked a last minute show at the Sidewalk Cafe this coming Thursday Dec 30 at 8pm! What a way to say farewell to 2010! Hope to see you - and thank you for all your support!

Some Pre-News News

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Well it's been a little while since we last communicated - I have been residing in NYC since February now and things are going quite well overall here in the big smoke I have to say! I've been exploring the streets of this fine City and a big thing for me is discovering the local Anti-Folk scene, which as 'scenes' go is quite amazing! A lot of history and SO many talented and inspiring artist. I've been playing songs quite regularly at the infamous open mics (or Antihoots) - as well as doing a few shows at the legendary Sidewalk Cafe on Ave A (Speaking of which I'll be playing on Wed July 14 at 11pm - and I've just been booked to performing at the Anti-Folk Festival in August! More details in the 'Shows' section - very exciting) And I have to say I'm feeling inspired in a way that I haven't really felt before - I'm feeling excited about the future here!

More TBA soon!
