Folk, blues, and alt-country from this Ontario singer/songwriter on his third album, in which he addresses love, music, and politics. “When I write a song, I want it to work on many different levels for different people and I try to get to the core of an emotion that a lot of people have experienced, so they feel less alone. I want to make somebody feel like they are connected and not isolated.”
