I am incredibly lucky to be able to do what I do. I’m also incredibly lucky that country singers like @noelinehofmann want to add a keyboard player to their band, I’ll be forever grateful that she asked me. Music can be tough, but it’s the shows like the ones Noeline and the band played last weekend that remind me that it is an honour and a privilege to be able to share the gift of music. Not only to connect with people from different countries but to share music with gifted, talented, and admirable band members onstage.
I won’t lie, I teared up and was wiping my eyes during our third show in Phoenix park, getting set off by my fellow musician’s welled-up eyes onstage. These were powerful shows that affected me deeply and I’m so proud of all of the work these incredible bandmates put in;

And Keith “No Insta” Rodger
who made three sold out shows for 60,000 people each a life-changing experience.
I can easily say I left my heart in Ireland last week: from the hospitality, the clear blue skies, the endless brick townhouses, the Full-Irish breakfast (even with black pudding), and the overflowing well of history and culture that is inescapable in Dublin.
Thank you @noelinehofmann and @zachlanebryan and all of the crew for all their hard work to make our shows in Dublin some of the most memorable of my entire life. We all hope to be back soon 🇮🇪
A little Billy Preston to celebrate this new digital organ I found for a screamin’ deal this weekend while on tour in BC with @kateandthecomets

Prince has a special plaque backstage at the O2 to commemorate the fact that he headlined the stadium 21 nights in a row!🇬🇧 (Slide 18)
Some moments with @noelinehofmann and crew from the biggest room I’ve ever been onstage in 🥴
Also for the keyboard nerds I got backlined a Nord Stage 4 @nordkeyboards which was basically just released so that was cool, @cat.robertson.music got an embarrassing video of me nerding out about it
The only place in the world where you could spontaneously ask a member of the audience to lead the bar in a song that everyone knows. 🇮🇪
Dublin is a magical place, even in the rain!
The houses in Amsterdam are built to lean forward on purpose and each one has a crane hook at the top to make moving in furniture and belongings easier to the top floors!
This is super handy cuz the stairs in Amsterdam are next level (see video in slide 3)
Some photos from the first two stops on the @c2cfestival with @noelinehofmann and crew!
Profesh photo by none other than @prestonhoffman_
Always love ripping through the desert with the best crew around! 🌵
And thanks to @shaboozey for being such a nice guy!

Played a pretty historic venue in Texas this past weekend with @noelinehofmann and the crew opening for the @turnpiketroubadours . We played the same stage as Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Alan Jackson, Hank Williams Jr., ZZ Top, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Lee Lewis, and BB King. Forever grateful to be brought along for these crazy experiences.
Fun fact: it was colder in Texas than in Canada while we were down there.

We couldn't agree more.
