'A Tribute to Catfish John' album cover
Thanks for joining us tonite, Thursday, May 3, for a live performance celebrating the successful completion of my latest tour of Newfoundland and the availability of my new studio album ‘A Tribute to Catfish John’.  My latest full-band production features a hand-picked selection of genre classics arranged in the Harwill style alongside some of my very best new songs and I look forward to sharing them with you at one of my favorite Alberta tour stops.  Recorded in the Harwill Music studio here at Thorsby with a legendary band of Alberta musicians and mixed and mastered by Toronto, Ontario’s Mark Ripp, this is my best studio work so far and I’m proud to share it with you at the iTunes link below.

Jeffrey’s Cafe & Wine Bar is an intimate live music venue that also serves up some fabulous food. They are located at 9640 – 142 Street. The show starts at  8.00 p.m. and the cover charge is $10.00.

The new album is available on iTunes now and I thank you for your support.

See you at the show!

The hardest place to leave!

In all of my travels ~ and there have been more than a few ~ there hasn’t been a place that has affected me the way that this island and it’s people have. While I sit this very early morning in sight of the harbor at St. John’s it isn’t this small and picturesque city by the sea that has captured my heart and inhabited my mind, for no townie would I be. It is in fact the small towns from up the island and along the sea shore that have become the siren singing, calling gently to me with a beautiful Newfie lilt as I prepare to return to the world and the larger stage that waits on the distant and unseen mainland where I will fly today.

I love it here and will be missing the people and this place until I’m able to return.

To my good friends here, old and new, I send my warmest regards and the hope that all of your dreams continue to be realized here on the beautiful Rock. These and my hope to return to your warm embrace and good fellowship at the earliest opportunity, for there is no place like this Newfoundland, and I’m proud that you’ve made a place for me and my music here with you and look forward to sharing more of it when next I find myself among you.

Until then, know that you’ll be in my heart no matter where the road may lead me, and that my fondest desire is to get back here; back downhome, to share a laugh and feel the love that lives and is shared by all in this community. That and I thank you for taking me into your hearts, for allowing me to let it all hang out and for getting me onto ‘island time’ with you, it’s something that I’ll never forget and will always hope to be able to return for more.

Thanks as always for checking the calendar here for updates and see you at the show!

2012 Newfoundland tour begins this week!

This week marks the launch of the 2012 tour of Newfoundland & Labrador; my 3rd visit to the magical Rock,  and begins with a return engagement this Friday, April 20, at the one-and-only Kelly’s Pub in beautiful downtown Grand-Falls Windsor. One of my favorite stops anywhere and home to some of the very best friends of Harwill that I’ve been fortunate enough to make, I hope you’ll drop in on Tina and the gang when I take the stage for an early show starting at 6PM.

In spite of my intense dislike of flying I’ll be packing my Taylor 454ce LTD 12 string (known affectionately as ‘The Other Woman’ in these parts) into the CXJSE Jumbo by Casextreme and departing late tonight for my most extensive tour of The Rock so far. Anchored by a few return visits we’ve got a half-dozen shows scheduled in places that most folks ~ including myself! ~ have never heard of and I can’t wait to get out there and socialize with the neighbours.

What is also apparent is that my love for playing my music trumps my hatred of flying!

Who knew?

Thanks for checking the calendar here for the latest updates and spreading the word that I’m on the way and see you at the show!
