Big news! NICE, NICE, VERY NICE 10TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION pre-orders are available now (bio link)! Available on streaming services Nov 15th. Includes an entire 2nd LP’s worth of unreleased material – original demos and early recordings of songs from the album, as well as 6 old songs from that era that just never found their way into the world . This album changed my life in so many ways. People still request almost every one of these songs at the shows. TODAY you can stream the original version of Tragic Turn of Events. Though this song was initially recorded in a collaboration with my dear pal @shane_koyczan (he released it with his poem Move Pen Move), I found this old recording of it without the spoken word element on an old dictaphone that I used to use to capture song ideas . We’ll have physical copies at the merch table at our upcoming shows in southern Ontario (listed below) . Big thanks to the one and only @mightypops for the LP art re-hashing, and of course my old roommate @illustratemoore for the OG design .
