Thanks everyone for the incredible support this past month, you've really been amazing! The Shore Sounds of Summer voting has closed, the tally is being totalled, the judges are judging, and Vancouver city mayor along with Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy announce the winner this Saturday...

Other news:

• Feature in today's Surrey Leader (read)
• Interview in Surrey NOW (scroll down past the 'Lion King' bit ;)
• StreamingCafe.net re-playing February 19th show all day today (watch)

While I've been out in Ontario for shows in Waterloo and Toronto this past weekend, good things have been happening here at home in Vancouver:

• 'Summer Moon' featured in last Tuesday's Province Playlist (free download!)
• Vancouver Sun profile of top ten Sounds of Summer artists

Also, this Saturday I'll be playing the Bath-House stage at ShoreFest with the band on English Bay in Vancouver, at 12:45 PM. It's free, it's on a beach, it's going to be sunny, yessssss.

A huge thank-you to the folks at Vancouver's the Shore 104FM radio station — they've included me in the top ten for their Sounds of Summer Song Search! It's an honor to have your work chosen from over 200 other talented BC songwriters, and I'm excited for the next few week's events leading up to their July 31st 'Official Sound of Summer' winner announcement. But here's where you come in:

I’ve never been comfortable getting into any type of contest that requires me to be the “Hey, vote for me” guy — but the truth is that there aren't many opportunities these days for musicians to have the type of career development that the Song Search offers. There are weekly classes, performances alongside the other top-ten finalists (including the Celebration of Light in English Bay), and a shot at winning $20K worth of studio time, gear, mentorship, and slots at the Burnaby Roots & Blues Festival in August.

This is where I need your help: the winner will be chosen from your votes. All it takes is twenty seconds of your time to vote right HERE. Voting opens today, and runs until July 30th. Thank you all for listening/reading/voting and sharing!

Just got word that 'My Century' made the top 20 cut in the Shore 104.3FM's 'Sounds of Summer' series here in Vancouver—wow. They'll be spinning songs from all 20 finalists starting next week. Let me know if you hear it on air. Looking forward to being a part of this! More details to come...
