Tonight in Toronto
Some thoughts from last year’s Ottawa Bluesfest for you today. The Lumineers are performing tonight in Toronto, opening up for U2. I saw them last summer and was, as you will see below, intrigued by the interaction between band and audience. I thought it appropriate to repeat those observations today, and I am kind of […]
U2 – Kicking The Darkness
In 2013 I did a few guest posts for my friend Bruce’s blog. It wasn’t intentional. We had been having an email conversation about England’s Greenbelt Festival and some of my experiences there. He took those emails and published them (with permission of course). I figured now, with U2 on the road in North […]

U2 – Six Songs At Greenbelt
In 2013 I did a few guest posts for my friend Bruce’s blog. It wasn’t intentional. We had been having an email conversation about England’s Greenbelt Festival and some of my experiences there.

U2 – The Joshua Tree
I remember thinking when I first heard it that it was as close to perfect as a record could be. But it must be 15 years since the last time I listened to it all the way through. Irish rock band U2 are touring North America at the moment, celebrating the 30th anniversary of The […]
Reflections on the Psalms
I ran a video clip from Bono, lead vocalist for the band U2, about a year ago, where he was talking about the Psalms. There’s an addendum that came out this past week that I thought you would also be interested in. I have promised myself that I will write more about U2 this year. […]
Tonight’s Show
Today’s post was supposed to be about Switchfoot and Relient K, two bands I will see in concert tonight. For Switchfoot I think it will be the first time in Ottawa in about a decade – and I don’t think Relient K have ever played here before. I have a history of sorts with both […]
21st Century Church
I went to a church service on a Sunday night in June – but couldn’t quite figure out what the religion was. I wanted to experience first-hand a Mumford and Sons concert. I like their music and their rise has been almost meteoric, from unknowns to superstars. The Ottawa show, their first ever here, sold […]
October
The leaves have begun to change colours. There are frost warnings at night. Summer has ended, Fall is well underway and Winter is fast approaching. As the leaves come down we see Fall as a time of decay. Yet we know that resurrection is coming, the trees will be restored and renewed in Spring. That […]
