Information/Write-up
I am proud to have the following incredible people involved in my life and my career:
Doug Bennett and Paul Wiglins – for your faith, wisdom, and direction. Thanks for the songs that have become a part of me. And Paul, for your incredible energy, hard work, and belief in me (cut down on the coffee… you’re perky enough!)
The Tomcats – Erin Madill, Eric Sanshyn, Stuart Wong, and Jackie Doucet, who work so diligently every day to keep us going.
The Crew – Jack Dressler and Brian McVey for helping the show go on and looking after us on the road.
Danny Latham – my musical director on the road, whose wacky sense of humor keeps us entertained for hours.
All the musicians – both in the studio and on the road. Bringing the songs to life, and I couldn’t do it without you.
Colin Nairne, Al Rodger, and Simon Kendall – for believing in me, pushing me to the edge to get the best from me, and for the guidance, inspiration, and confidence.

MacLennan, Lorraine Wilson, Wade of Creation Studios, Gill Borts, Brent Nace, Rob Wainhouse, K.T. Feldman & Associates, Mike Nelson, Rick Young – Today’s Country, Insight & Sound Productions, Vicki Walker (our contest winner), Star Entertainment, radio programmers throughout Canada who play my music, Mom, Dad, Gisele, Gerry & Rob for your undying support and encouragement, my grandmother (Memere) for your prayers and love, Lorne for understanding, believing, and for loving me enough to set me free – I love you always.
