so,
Tim:
I got to see both!
and both were great!

also, thanks to Tim, I want to tell you that after the Olenka set I booked it over to Call The Office to see one of my favourite bands, One Hundred Dollars.
AMAZING.
such great people and such great music.

wrappa wrappa
I had the pleasure of playing at Call The Office last Saturday, February 6th...
if you were there, THANKS!
it was a very fun event, and Say Domino and Single Mothers also kicked it!
if you missed out, or if you wish to re-live the excitement, Sean Stanley captured most of the performance on video, while Tim Glasgow captured most of the performance via sound recording...
we performed 4 songs not ye ol' debut album, and one of them, can be viewed here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blR-JBW6TmQ
as a combination of Sean and Tim's talents.
I'd say this song is a good idea as to where our next album will be... creatively.
I'm sure this song will continue to develop, as this video shows our first performance of the song (at said mentioned show)...
so check out the video and then check out the song over our future shows!
there are many shows coming up in March for both my solo stuff and AHAHB... so please stay up to date with that... if you're interested... I suppose I'll post that info here.
March 4th
Tyler, Kelly, and I are playing a house show...
with Andy Shauf, Zachary Lucky and The Bravest Ghost...
(at my house actually...)
March 5th
AHAHB are playing with Woodhands and Diamond Rings
(crazy)
March 13th
I'm playing at the London Fuse showcase show... more on that later I hope.
March 23rd
I'm playing at Fanshawe College as part of a singer-songwriter circle
March 30th
AHAHB are playing with In-Flight Safety, Said The Whale, and Single Mothers
plus there might be another show in there somewhere..
plus April will bring OH!FESSSSSSSSSSSSSSST
more on all of those,
and links when I'm feeling more like it.
my sugar addiction is really acting up lately you see.
Also, I had the pleasure of seeing Ola and the Lovers play back to back weekends, and let me just say that their show at Aeolian Hall was one of the best of their career, and had me all proud, smiling, giving them the standing ovation they deserved.
deserved folks!
Also
check out these two blogs, which will probably be more some-thing-or-other than mine...

Awards and things
So.
I'm very happy that AHAHB have been given the honour
of CHRW's local album of the year.
very happy.
thank you all who voted and also hugs to everyone on the top
10 list.
it was a good list.
yes.
So,
there are some shows coming up, that I'm very excited about...
Thursday I'm going to see Basia Bulat at Aeolian Hall.
(her first album is AMAZING and her new one is growing quickly on me)
Friday I'm going to see Olenka & The Autumn lovers and The Wooden Sky FOR FREE at Fanshawe
Saturday A HORSE AND HIS BOY are playing at Call The Office with Say Domino and Single Mothers.
I'm very excited about this show as we haven't played in four months, have new songs, and I've wanted to play with Say Domino for quite some time... plus I've never seen Single Mothers before, and I'm always excited to see a new band play!
the following week Olenka & The Autumn Lovers are at Aeolian hall and Attack In Black with One Hundred Dollars are at CTO on Friday... so you'll have to flip a coin for that night I suppose... One Hundred Dollars blow me away, so I might have to pick that....
so yes,
lots of excitement.
also,
NEW songs at the AHAHB show!!! wooo
hope you're all so so well,
and look forward to seeing you at the show.
love,
-Sam.

media media media
I'm at work and looking for time to kill--as I'm caught up with my work--
or wait now that I think about it maybe I'm not... ok, work in a second,
now that I've committed to this.
I've been busy running around today doing lots of different media things.
All to advertise 'Landscapes' and the show we're doing Sunday (which I talked
about in my last post, and which we've been rehearsing for... everything is
sounding great... it's been fun with Tyler and he has even influenced us
to change up 'Cowboy Song' just a bit, so be sure to check out the show!)
so now, I suppose this post is either a) telling you about all of this media
or b) advertising the media that I'm doing...
so perhaps this is media, being media, for other media.
(as a media student, I'm not sure how I feel about that.)
first, I went in and talked with Nicole (I'm pretty sure it was Nicole)
at the Gazette, quite quickly, about the show on Sunday--with more of a
'Habitat for Humanity' angle and less of a 'concert' angle as I'm used to. Which was nice I suppose.
Then I went out with the Gazette's Corey Standford to take some photos across
campus... he had smile in the photos... it was a bit cold, but fun.
...after checking out the photos back at the Gazette I wandered next door
to see if Alicks or anyone else was at CHRW... she was, I could hear her voice
down the hall. We had a nice chat, then she asked me if I wanted to do an interview
for Local Music Month at CHRW, I said "yes" and she got Casey Wolfe, who was chatting with us, to do the interview... putting both of us on the spot. Casey was very cool
and asked some nice questions about arranging the songs, along with the standard questions you ask a musician... I suppose... (this interview should air later some time...) after that we recorded a radio ID... which was fun. Casey edited together different parts of what I said to make something much better than what I said... I can't upload audio to this... so you'll just have to listen to CHRW more and more to have a listen.
so that's media three and four... (if you count interview, photos, interview, radio id)
(for five) TONIGHT I will be live on CHRW's 'For the Folk' with Alison Brown doing an interview and performing some solo versions of some songs on 'Landscapes'...
that will be at 8:30 tonight (Wednesday)
so CHECK IT!
if you missed it, go listen to it later!
I think that's it...
hope all is well,
and see you Sunday.
lots of love,
-Sam.

all of my friends.
The show benefits Habitat for Humanity UWO and is called Hands Up for Habitat.
the doors are at 8pm
and it's free to get in, however there will be donation jars around so that
you can help out in anyway you can!
very exciting.
so.
Sunday, Jan 17th
The Spoke at UWO (inside the UCC)
8pm
free admission, donations as pay what you can
exciting.
please comment with questions

or go here
ALSO
Truly one of my best friends for a long time, Mr. Edward Eaglesham,
is traveling back to Europe, and will no longer be playing guitar with us.
This is sad because Edward is a great friend and great guitarist.
In brighter news, our good friend Mr. Tyler Heffernan, who plays guitar in A HORSE AND HIS BOY, will be joining us for all up coming future shows. And of course we're all very excited about that, as Tyler is also a great friend and a great guitarist.
So lots of love to Edward for his future, and lots of love to Tyler for his future with us.
lots of love to all!
see you Sunday!
