Tonight's venue is the Boathouse in Kitchener. We're playing from 7-10, come on out if you're in the area. It's nice and warm (inside)

I love the initial part of booking tours - figuring out the path, finding the venues you're going to pitch, reaching out to all of them... Then there's the waiting. For replies, for confirmations, finding places to sleep, actually making profit...

Working on booking a tour for the band this summer. Came up with a few different drivable paths plus one crazy moonshot idea to fly out, do a 1 week northwest Ontario and Manitoba tour and fly home after a 2nd festival the next weekend, and we're actually going for that plan. Incredible! I'm pumped!

One (whose brain is not already pickled) would argue that, in fact, USING AI leaves vulnerable people without knowledge. The proof is in the (brain) pudding

ooh the opportunity has come up again to book a little tour for the summer.. Will it happen this year? 🪕🚗🍁

Tonight's venue is Chaucer's in London! The Cuckoo's Nest Folk Club brought us out, looms like it's going to be a great night!

Every person that uses an AI device they have to talk to is That Person that listens to YouTube videos on their phone speaker at max volume on the subway

woooow it only took 15 years, but by gum we made it 500 subs on YouTube 🎉

I should post more pics, not sure why I don't! Enjoy The Sniffs. Here they're hanging out during band practice last night.

Random thought: I think internet propaganda is a language-based problem more than anything. Everybody that speaks English gets the same firehouse of horseshit pushing rightward, no matter what country they're in. Everybody is immersed the same alternate reality, sharing the same dogma.

Pretty haggard after a long day. Tough work day, plus of course ~*everything*~ Studio session tonight was short but productive. Tough to produce inspired improv-heavy instrumentals with so much stress lingering. The studio dog Edie helped though.

We're offering a touch of dog-inspired respite. It's ugly out there, take a break for a second.

The optimist in me says these shenanigans will reawaken the desire for live music scenes, so that people can experience actual real music (don't ask the pessimist in me, he sucks)

Wrote a song yesterday, but it came to me in the weirdest order: bridge first, then verses, then chorus

Final Banjo Church or the season is about to start! Come hang out for a bit andnsay hi 👋 www.youtube.com/live/xVE2SC7...

This year was actually pretty good for me personally. The job continues jobbing, whatever. More exciting though, the band made a conscious decision this year to stop playing bar gigs and focus on festivals, events, and concerts and it worked as well as we could have hoped. We'll see how 2026 goes!

Happy festival application season to all who celebrate

AI adoption here is the equivalent of U2's "Songs of Innocence" forced into every iTunes user's music library

It's Banjo Church! www.youtube.com/live/VcrtfEb...

It's a holiday themed Banjo Church! Join us for carols and other Christmasy singalongs! www.youtube.com/live/tmOKmoz...

Back in the studio doing some vocals on the instrumental record (shhhh don't tell)

Finally a car with enough cup holders

Today's venue is The Local Pub in Toronto! If you're in the area you should definitely come down

It's Banjo Church o'clock! Come hang out for a bit? www.youtube.com/live/YdGyN8x...

Back in the studiooooo

Back in the studio with Andy at the House of Miracles

Banjo Church! We're starting like, nowish. www.youtube.com/live/-RRY6tQ...

Tonight's venue is Shortfinger Brewing Co in Kitchener. But there's a twist! It's a different band 😁 We've finally decided a name, for better or for worse, we are: Delaware River Runoff Crabs

When I voted Green instead of for the Liberals, I worried that the Liberals would lose nationally and we'd end up with a conservative government. I didn't expect the Liberals would win and we'd still end up with a conservative government

It's Banjo Church time! Come hang out for a bit? www.youtube.com/live/EoN_t-_...

Tonight's venue is the Coach House in Brantford! A (nearly?) sold out show!

Another Canadian festival bites the dust. Sorry to see you go, @riverfestelora.bsky.social

Back in our happy place (The House of Miracles in Cambridge) for some recording. Stay tuned! (Is that a banjo joke? Maybe.)

Can't have speed cameras, but we can have this. 🫠

It's Banjo Church on location this morning! www.youtube.com/live/h0zcxK3...

The "Ah, nevertheless" heard across the world as Charlie says "Alright Lucy, set up the ball one more time."

It's time again for Banjo Church! We've got a bunch of fun songs for you this morning. Come say hi? www.youtube.com/live/LFM5ohZ...

A fucking travesty What a sad joke the music industry has become (example 823709235)

Banjo Church is back! Come hang out for some songs about time? www.youtube.com/live/8Kfgx4y...

I just noticed the tuner on my fiddle is set to 437 instead of 440. I wonder how long it's been like that 😬

I have to think of a new band name and I've had absolutely no good ideas so far

Watching the game with Charlie

SARS Bar

This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball

It's Spooky Sunday for episode 1 of Banjo Church! We've got our costumes on and a bunch of spooky songs for ya, come hang out for a bit? www.youtube.com/live/DsH_47w...

I realize it's a completely bananapants thought, but this is why I think it's inevitable that one day the internet will be declared a different dimension and will have its own laws and governing structure. You can't limit the internet within geographical borders, not really.

Notice: I will be absorbing the base ball matches while the blue jays group are in the final stages of navigating the north american trade negotiations. I would appreciate everyone respecting our privacy during this difficult time. We will not be paying tarrifs on the trophy if we do indeed win.

New live video from us on the ol' YouTube. Jean Ritchie's Let the Sun Shine Down on Me & an instrumental called Greasy Coat. From our recent show at the House of Miracles in Cambridge, Ontario. youtu.be/GN0LEQCK6aw?...
