I'll be playing this year's Porchfest in Vankleek Hill, Ontario on Saturday afternoon July 11th. There's a ton of amazing talent to check out and many of my old friends will be performing as well. 

Mark your calendar and come out to see me play some tunes in the mid-afternoon sunshine! 

Hey friends!

It's been ages since my side project EXPANDA FUZZ played an actual LIVE SHOW so we wanted our Ottawa area pals to know we're playing one this Friday May 22nd!

On the bill will be our friends Neck and Dark Plains and we're all playing as a benefit to support Carty House, a safe and supportive home for refugee women while they get settled into their new lives in Canada. 

Advance tickets for the show are here: https://www.houseoftarg.com/concert-listings-events/bytown-cup-benefit-dark-plains-expanda-fuzz-neck

If you can't make the show, you can make a donation to the Carty House via the Bytown Cup. I'm playing in the tourney, so this is my team's page for raising funds: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/carty-house/p2p/BytownCup2026/team/fried-green-tomatoes/member/pager

Hope to see you at Targ Friday!

Cheers, cp

My latest Substack songwriting diary entry is about an older song by The Stand GT called “Mudsick”.

Lots of fun memories putting this one together, including a peek inside the band’s infamous chicken coop!

Our annual singer songwriter show SOLOS GOING STEADY is just around the corner. 

On Saturday April 18th, join me, Susan O, Suzanne Nuttal, Liz McDermott and Patrick Shanks at Irene's where each of us will play a short set of original material.
