biographical info

A versatile performer, composer and songwriter, Stephen

has always felt music plays a vital part in life...

from his early weather-beaten busking days in Vieux Montreal

to the new score for the hand-drawn, animated short film,

"Terranaughts", using children's toys!

Life experience  and vivid imagination frame

his story-driven songs and compositions.

His musical sojourns have taken him across the continent from

Halifax to Tijuana, performing anywhere from hostel to theatre,

train to shuttle. He loves the impromptu camaraderie music

brings. After his first sold-out “Live at the Bluebird Cafe”

release, a no-holds-barred set of songs, stripped down and solo,

the trio debut studio EP -"Time to Face the Music", is nigh!

Written over the course of three years, after venturing west

from Atlantic to Pacific...Literally led to a new twist on life, with

bride, baby and "boulot". Challenging beyond words, it is a

dream, turned reality or as the quote from the liner notes

states: " Oh, how my soul is on..." -George Orwell

Video

"Peeping Tom" 6:18

"Peeping Tom"

A misanthrope with a bicycle comes calling at the cafe', when two busboy thugs, intent on stealing Tom's favourite mode of transport, hold him up! A busgirl saves her admirer and his green 50's cycle, from obscurity.There's a karate pun to boot !

Ghost Town 2:52

Ghost Town

A recession driven song about change and new beginnings...

Boots on the Ground(Live) 4:18

Boots on the Ground(Live)

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower. Drives my green age that blasts the roots of trees is my destroyer. -- Dylan Thomas

I Only Like Bach (Live) 5:28

I Only Like Bach (Live)

An ode to the homeless, war & peace in our city streets. A waltz for a new deal, to be sure.

Oceans Go Away 3:47

Oceans Go Away

Inspired by David Suzuki's Playlist for the Planet, to bring more awareness of World Oceans Day. Enjoy it, while it lasts!
