The Paper Kites & Road House Band

Mesmerizing concert of epic romantic proportions in aural and visual delight, song writing and musical skill and artistry. An wonderful Indie Rock-Folk Rock band well seasoned over 15 years of writing and playing together. With the addition of the Road House Band, it is a performance not to miss. Warming up their show was Bella White-absolutely magical, with a duo at the end.

Concert at McDougall United Church, Edmonton, Alberta, March 13, 2024

SLIDE CALIFORNIA

SLIDE CALIFORNIA

NEW SINGLE RELEASED TODAY - The Song is about an automobile accident I had in California in 1973, where I went over a 50 foot cliff on my way home from high school on Winding Way in Fair Oaks, in my 1957 Thunderbird, and crashed at the bottom of the cliff into a beautiful estate’s Japanese garden.  A school bus had just let kids off on the side of the rural road.  The road was wet going around the corner and my car started to slide, and so I swerved to avoid the dozen or so highschool’ers, opting to go over the cliff instead.  Honestly, that day, my guardians were definitely with me and it was a profound epiphany on the preciousness of life.

2021 Recording In Dorothy & The End Of A Year

Hey ho!!! Well tis almost the end of 2021. What……………….another year……………sheesh. The world, all peoples, have had a real trial over the past two years with the Pandemic. And it has taken it’s toll on friendships, get togethers, concerts and gatherings. Somehow many people have been resilient and resourceful.

I would like to wish everyone I know and that graces my life, a very Warm, Mirth filled, Holiday Season, Safe Travels, and Health in the New Year.

In late September, I had the great good fortune of a day of recording and company with Jeff Kynoch. We recorded some of my new music in one of two historic churches in Dorothy, Alberta. It was a remarkable day, and I felt so blessed to be working with Jeff again. The weather on the day was remarkable, lunch was had on the tailgate of my car, and the Honda generator gave us steady power through the day.

The acoustics were awesome, so awesome you could hear the flies buzzing around the church windows…………….so a few swatting breaks were required. The start of a project that isn’t finished yet.

Anyway…………………….Blessings to you all at this time of the Season. Love, Peace, Happiness - V

I’m very grateful for my music and everyone who has helped and supported me……..I didn’t think it was possible. The albums and singles continue to donate proceeds to their respective causes.

Music is an incredible thing in our universe and how it has the capacity to touch all people everywhere in different ways. Blessings.
