Let's do it, Southern Ontario. We all like camping. We all have too much camping gear. Let's give some away.

Today I turned 25 years old. I'm trying to just embrace my new age but the truth is that it IS a little stressful to hit a milestone like 25. Why?

I feel like I'm in a new Season now. Many things are different, but the biggest different thing is my heart. I feel like the curtain has closed and opened again.

Readers of Tonguetwisted Ink, I’m not going to apologize for not posting for a month because it would be lame, but I am going to explain where I’ve been. I started this blog in Fall 2009 to tell the story of my move to Nashville to record a new Hello Kelly album, put together a [...]

I Had a Dream …

Feb

I like that dreams don’t give us answers.  They’re like good art that way. I remember my dreams so rarely that when I DO, I rush to write them down.  I really do love dreams.  They fascinate me.  Last night I had a dream that showed me something about the trajectory of my life.  Somewhat [...]

Finally Playing Again …

Feb

Band practice is going well. As of 2:00AM tonight, we can play through the songs Pressure & Poison, Electricity, The Communication Breakdown and Bring It Broken without any terrible train wrecks.  The PA system we’re working with at the practice space is dodgy so we don’t always always have vocals – but it actually HELPS: [...]

Hello Kelly on eBay!

Feb

I’m glad that God humbles me every now and then. Band practice went really well today.  But then I came across THIS on eBay. No bids yet?  Probably because it’s going for $4.00.  Isn’t that a little for music, these days?  Does anybody pay for music AT ALL? Sigh. You win this time, universe. – [...]

Ash Wednesday

Feb

I was raised in a Catholic household and in Catholic school, therefore I’m familiar with Ash Wednesday. Are you familiar?  If you’re not, Ash Wednesday is the Wednesday 40 days before Easter … The beginning of LENT.  And, as the tradition goes, it’s when we give up a certain vice.  Ideally, a vice that’s keeping [...]

Family Day

Feb
15
Back home in Canada, it’s Family Day today. It’s a little weird that the only way to get families to hang out together is to create a holiday called “Family Day”, but hey, I guess in this day and age, we take what we can get, eh? My family’s actually pretty darn good for hanging [...]
