0 Debut video nearing 3000 youtube views in 2 days!!!
A great band I am in, CerAmony, has debuted our first official video for a great anthemic rock song called “Looks Like Change(To Me)” and we have gotten close to 3000 views. By the time you read this we hope to have surpassed that mark. We are all hoping to hit the 5000 mark by weeks end. Ya gotta dream right?
Here is the video for everyone to watch: Looks Like Change (To Me)
This is a great start to a very interesting time for the band. In just under a week we will be gracing the stage at Montreals Bell Centre, home of the Habs, for a great show in front of roughly 12,000 people. This will be the largest crowd I have had the pleasure of playing in front of and consequently will also be the biggest room I have ever played.
You can find out more about the show by clicking here: L’Heure Des Enfants.
We have just added my most favourite bass player, Shian Ramjohn, to the lineup and the gravity he adds to the live show is astounding!! You have to hear him (and see his amazing skill) to really know how great he is. Welcome o the team Shi!!
More news and tour videos to follow as it happens.

0 Some musical magic for your Sunday afternoon.
So I have been playing alot of country music lately (http://thejimmyriggers.com, http://marshallcountry.com ) as well as revisiting my vinyl collection in an attempt to escape the onslaught of auto tune, bad lyrics, and unimaginative song concepts, that pours from the airwaves out of buildings and cars and into the streets.
As a result I have been reminded of some great acts and exposed to a new one. I’m not going to get wordy even though blogs are supposed to be wordy.
The first is to send you over to check out Starvin Hungry which is a re-release by brothers Glenn and John Milchem. They were The Black Keys and White Stripes before anyone thought a duo of drums and guitar could kick some serious ass.
The second is a great video of my latest favourite country band, The Blue Shadows. Hailed as “the band that scared Nashville” and boy did Nashville have something to be scared of. If a band from a town like Vancouver can produce a sound like this then who knows what else there could be.
Ladies and Gents: The Blue Shadows
‘Deliver Me’ by The Blue Shadows
Enjoy the escape!

0 A Brand New Year
Greetings!!
So here we are smack dab in the start of a new year and I find myself asking; “Where did last year go?? I was just getting into the swing of things!!”.
Well; alot has happened and I cant help but be proud of my accomplishments. I ended a great run of tour managing my old ladies band Ladies Of The Canyon, I joined a great pop rock band Exit 451, a killer award winning rock band by the name of Ceramony, finished the demo for my classic country band The Marshalls, and become the semi-permanent drummer for The Jimmyriggers.
I hope that I will be able to offer more consistent blogging as well, offering more up to date news, event invites, pictures, and plenty of tidbits of information for all of you out there. Feel free as well to let me know when you are interested in anything new, or if you just havent heard from me in awhile.
As well; tell all your friends and feel free to leave as many comments as you would like. I will do my best to get back to you as often as I can.
-Lewis.
