This tour was born with the idea of slowing down the tour, taking time to meet the people, find the hidden treasures and sharing the stories. And no matter the size of the town or the crowd, each moment is just as rich as the next and worth sharing fully. Time and time again, I was pleasantly surprised with the warm welcome, the generosity, the willingness to jump onboard and the invitations for doing it all over again! Can't wait! In the meantime, I wanted to share some photos from the tour!
Paris 2 Paris, une tournée pour célébrer les lieux de rassemblement peu importe la taille de la population. Je me suis trouvé maintes et maintes fois attendri par un peuple généreux, chaleureux et partant pour l'aventure! Quelle joie de partager et découvrir! Comme l'invitation est lancée pour refaire ça l'année prochaine, je vous dit à bientôt avec impatience et je vous partage un petit album de souvenirs! Au plaisir!

The first leg was with Canada's passenger VIA Rail who have a program for artists to exchange services for transportation - always fun to play and sing for the folks on the train!
Ça brasse parfois un peu mais je suis très reconnaissant du train passager au Canada, VIA Rail, qui offrent un échange de services avec les artistes - de la musique pour un déplacement - mon moyen préféré de voyager!

In Kitchener and Guelph, I was honoured to participate in some Greenbelt celebrations!! Since I was a little boy running through the forest as my dad would bring us out to explore nature, I've felt deeply connected with the earth and all activities that bring me back to it. To be able to participate in no matter how big or small a way in celebrating, nurturing, healing the earth, our home, this planet, well, I thing it's some of the most important stuff in life. Thank you to Alternatives Journal for all that you do in helping humanity rekindle its' relationship with our Mother Earth.
Dans ma vie, je veux faire toutes sortes de choses. De partager en musique m'est la façon la plus puissante que je peux participer, à mon avis. Le peuple terrestre est celui que je veux servir, et pour son bien être, il faut considérer toute l'affaire - le peuple et la boule qui le porte :)
