Hi Music Lovers!  

We have a couple things on the burner that I wanted to update you on.  We're working on releasing some limited edition re-issue 45s from the vault with new artwork and packaging... part of a larger project that I'm working on with an illustrator friend of mine...which is also a part of an even bigger project i'm thinking of developing... more on that soon!

Our good friend Michelle McAdorey is working to release her album, and we can't wait for this beautiful work to come to light.  You can help support the project by ordering a 7" of "Leave The Main Road/Line Across My Heart", produced by Greg Keelor.  She will be playing some shows in Hamilton, Toronto and Peterborough next month.  Be sure to follow Michelle on Facebook for updates.  

The Weber Brothers are out on the road in support of their new 2002-2012 collection which we manufactured for them.  It's currently available exclusively at shows.  See their upcoming shows below, along with tour dates for Express and Company and Melissa Payne.

Thanks for all your support!

This vast knowledge base allows Master Wu to design training programs specifically to match the needs and abilities of each student. Because of my muscular issues, my training began slowly with the Therapeutic Chi Kung, then moved into Sun Style Tai Chi. Today I’ll point the magnifying glass at these practices... CONTINUE READING
