Hi,
Welcome to the space where I place my songs and musical ideas. I can't remember when I started writing/recording my thoughts and experiences. It seems I have always done so. The first band I was in was grade 7. High School band probably inspired it. We were just a bunch of young geek's trying to be cool, fit in and get some recognition.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
List of the bands I have been in or a leader of.
Penetration (High School Days)
Power and Light Co. (YFC)
Freeway
Mike Johnston Band
StraitStreet
Touch
Tokyo - club band
Little Tokyo - club band
Hot Flash - club duo/trio
Cruise Control - club duo/trio
CC Express - club duo/trio
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have performed on TV, toured Canadian schools with Power and Light Co. been in various bands. The largest crowd was 5000+ in Denver at the Road Home Festival with Mason Proffet and various other artists. I toured Western Canada as a single performer and in Trio and Duo Club Bands.
