Cigarettes For Christmas

Here is a music video I made last December; it's been wandering around online since the spring but this is the first time I've put it on my website and YouTube channel.

Trixie Dixon is the main character from my musical 'Daughter of the Dust' and here is one of her holiday hits, just in time for Christmas. If you haven't seen it yet, take a drag.

Trixie Dixon to sing at Steers & Queers

There's a great event held at the Dakota Tavern called Steers & Queers, which is a gay country and western themed party. I was invited to perform a few songs this month as Trixie Dixon, my character from the musical Daughter of the Dust.

It's happening this Thursday, November 10th (all the info is here). it should be a lot of fun; local theatre scene darlings Johnnie Walker and Morgan Norwich are hosting as rival Reba McEntire impersonators just to give you an idea about the type of night it's going to be. Grab some western gear and come on down.

'Daughter' Review and Post-Show Breakdown

Thank you to everyone who came out to our musical 'Daughter of the Dust' at the end of August in Toronto. It couldn't have gone any better as far as I'm concerned; half of our performances were sold out and we played to enthusiastic audiences each night.

Keep in mind we organized a short run because it was a workshop production of the show, the team and I will be remounting it in 2012 and we'll try to make it even bigger and better.

We were reviewed by Mooney on Theatre, a respected and prolific theatre blog in Toronto, who called our show a "country music masterpiece" and said that "it deserves to be seen by a lot of people". You can check out the entire in depth write-up here.

Daughter of the Dust - Coming Soon

So...First off I want to thank everyone who came out to support 'The Bright Idea' at the 2011 Fringe festival, it was a great success and it's all due to your patronage and good word of mouth.

Next up...there's a stage musical I've been working on for a while (I'm writing and appearing in it), and our first production of it is in rehearsals right now. It's called 'Daughter of the Dust', it's a drag/country musical, and yes, that's me in the photo.

It goes up in Toronto from August 24th to 29th at the Bread & Circus (in Kensington Market.) Check out the facebook page for more information...I'll post some more content from the show here soon.
