I am SOOOOOO excited to be partnered with @moxies

I am SOOOOOO excited to be partnered with @moxies in the Nova Centre downtown Halifax!

My first show there is scheduled for June 1st, and while there is still a small level uncertainty on that date due to COVID lockdowns in Nova Scotia, I couldn't help but make my way downtown tonight and stop in for some incredible takeout.

I love how attentive, friendly, and welcoming the staff were the last time I was in (and it was a minute ago, to be honest). I know you'll love them too, so be sure to check them out when you can.

Tonight also I used their online ordering service and it was SO EASY! They had it all ready and at the time I set! Amazing!

Today I picked up something I've wanted on my simple little Squier for a long time.

I don't know who's Strat I first saw with this kind of tortoiseshell pickguard with a sunburst finish, but I do know it was love at first sight.

I have had the pleasure of my 40th anniversary Squier for nearly 2 decades, and it has brought me so much joy to own. (pic of guitar is to demonstrate what my guitar wil sort of look like, and is not actually my guitar)

But, I cannot wait to help it get just a LITTLE bit cooler...

Tonight I was able to swing down to @district5dart

Tonight I was able to swing down to @district5dartmouth (District 5 Bar & Grill) for some AH-mazing take-out!

I had what's called the DFC (a chicken dish) that could give the other 3 letter chicken place a run for its money. 😉

District 5 has been an amazing partner to me. I was given a chance early on to become a part of their regular rotation of performers and boy oh boy did that pay off for me.

They seem to be doing things just a little bit better here. Stand-up comedy some nights. An amazing non-alcoholic menu. Incredible spins on classic meals. And the clients all have a hell of a fun night along with the staff.

If you haven't had a chance to check them out, tonight's as good a night as any. ❤️🤟

Today I was lucky enough to swing by to @cavicchis

Today I was lucky enough to swing by to @cavicchismeats (Cavicchi's Meats) for a smoked-meat sandwich and a quick stop in to the @bikeandbean (The Train Station Bike and Bean) for their incredible breakfast cookie.

While it seems like only yesterday, I actually began playing at Cavicchi's August of 2020! What's really amazing about there is when you start playing there you always end up meeting the WHOLE amazing family!

Their space has this incredible ability of feeling perfectly intimate while actually being casual outside on a patio. I love EVERY second I play out there.

And, while my heart will always belong to @schwartzsofficial (Schwartz's) in Montreal for my all-time favorite smoked meat sandwich, it's nice to know I can get the next best thing out in Upper Tantallon. Whether you need a small grocery order, a freezer order, or some of the best deli meats you've ever had, make your way out to this wonderful family-owned business ASAP!

Hey! Don't know what's for supper?! Go to @oldtria

Hey! Don't know what's for supper?! Go to @oldtrianglehfx (The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse) for some amazing takeout! Tonight I'm having the All Day Breakfast with wings on the side 😋

There is only a few hours left, so left help them empty the cupboards!

Check out their recent post about tonight's discount to on take-out and delivery via HaliHub!

Tonight would have been my very first show at @lig

Tonight would have been my very first show at @lightshipbrewing (Lightship Brewing Co) in Nova Scotia's Crown Jewel: Lunenburg. In fact it would have been Lightship's first show ever, as today was going to be a celebration of their opening! I do know that when this all passes by us I'll be on their stage and we'll have an amazing time.

I've been incredibly lucky to have grown a friendship with all of the businesses under this umbrella. Whether it be a show at @kingstreetbeer (King Street Beer Company) in welcoming Bridgewater or at @saltboxbrewingcompany (Saltbox Brewing Company) in gorgeous Mahone Bay, the shows I've held at these locations have been some of the most memorable. Not only were they incredibly fun but the folks and staff who were there with me those nights have the most incredible singing voices!

The first time that I sat down with Natasha ( @rowsell_06 ) more than a year ago now I could just tell this was an amazing company to partner with.

If any of these places are in your local area this is a fantastic weekend to stop by pick up some of their amazing product to take it home and enjoy it responsibly with friends and family while we all wait for this nonsense to blow over.

As some of you know, this here is the hardest work

As some of you know, this here is the hardest working team member at Geoff Kennedy Music, Monroe.

Monroe is the head of all our online content and he REALLY puts in the hours.

@bideawhile (Bide Awhile Animal Shelter) was home for him for a short while, but on June 22nd of 2007 he chose me to be his Dad.

We've travelled from Nova Scotia to BC and back, and he is a world champion cuddler. He greets me at the door like a puppy, he hates bananas, love nip, wrecks carpeted stairs, and he makes friends with every person he meets. He wants to share everything you eat: popcorn, bacon, eggs, fish, and will work you HARD to convince you he's starved.

@bideawhile posted that today is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, and I cannot encourage you enough to skip all breeders and go to any one of the amazing shelters in Nova Scotia. Taking home a new family member from their saves two lives: the one you save and the one you make room for.

Nova Scotia: Roll up your sleeves!

People are home from lockdown so donations are down!

We showed up for testing for COVID, we can do this too!

Tonight I would have been on-stage at @oldtriangle

Tonight I would have been on-stage at @oldtrianglehfx (The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse) and absolutely loving every second of it.

I always felt like you have "made it" in the local music scene in Halifax, Nova Scotia if you got a gig there. The crowds, the staff, the lineups, the PARTY that this place pulled off night after night was so impressive.

Little did I know that being among the roster of musicians and working with the owners and staff would be BETTER than my imagination.

Have a look at the posts over 2020 on what this place has done for their staff and how hard they've strived to work with the NS Gov. to find middlegrounds with COVID closures.

I am so proud to be a part of their family.

Let's all meet up there again soon when this all blows over!

Tonight I stopped in to @celtic.corner (Celtic Corner) for a little takeout and grabbed the Round Tower Burger with poutine.

So. Good.

And, you never know who you'll see: Tonight I was served by the owner @jeffmclatchy (Jeff McLatchy)!

I feel like I've been haunting Celtic Corner for decades now. It's a monument of downtown Dartmouth.

I always loved the performers there, and always felt a vibe there which kept me coming back. And believe me, EVERY night I wanted to get up on that stage and join them. So far, I've been lucky to have two shows there. While I may have only had my first show back in February, I can tell ya I felt right at home up on the stage, and the patrons and staff made doubly sure of that.

Make sure you stop in too!

Stopped in to grab some BBQ take-out tonight from

Stopped in to grab some BBQ take-out tonight from the amazing folks at @birchandanchor (Birch & Anchor). Specifically, the Argentinian 1/4 Chicken Dinner and the Full Rack of ribs.

I have been performing here since Sept of '20, and not one single show have I ever felt like anything but family. Many of my favorite servers previously from Maxwell's Plum were already working there, and I instantly felt like I was home. Each and every show is like a time machine: suddenly in a blink it's over and we all can't believe it happened so fast.

If you go there, I promise you'll feel the exact same way.

And oh my... THE FOOD.... 🤤

So tonight would have been my very 1st show at @chesterscafeandsocialhouse (Chester's Cafe & Social House) and I was so looking forward to it. Here's why:

After seeing @dr_scottr and @crguitarr of @robinson_bros_music play there and give their seal of approval - not to mention their high praise of the folks who frequent there and the amazing staff - I just knew I needed to reach out.

Let me tell you, they have been as wonderful as promised, and made me all the more pumped to play.

Worry not, I'll be back as soon as we get a handle on all this, but in the meantime keep an eye on their social posts!

You should check out @patronsbg (Patrons Bar & Grill) Story for all the details, but today is the last day for you to take advantage of their food and drink sell-off as they regroup for this 3rd lockdown. I grabbed mine, and you should too!

So tonight I would have been playing at @ediblemat

So tonight I would have been playing at @ediblematters (Edible Matters) in gorgeous Hammonds Plains, so lemme tell you about this wonderful place.

I've been playing there since March of 2019, and every single show has been a wonderful mix of intimate and casual. Time after time I meet the nicest folks, whether local regulars or first time diners. We always spend the night running through great requests and connecting over a great menu.

I love this place, and you will too.

Today, and especially now, I am going to be grateful.

Grateful that I don't have COVID19.
Grateful I am not working in ICU rooms watching people with COVID suffer and struggle.
Grateful I'm not in an ICU suffering and struggling with COVID.
Grateful I have not lost a family member to COVID.
Grateful to my neighbors who wear masks and keep distances as much as they can.
Grateful that I had 14 shows over the next 4 weeks to lose.
Grateful to the venues who keep bringing me back when times are oh so tight for them.
Grateful to every person who sings along with me, or gives me a chance to sing to them their favorite song, or tells me I made an impact on their night.
Grateful to the folks working tirelessly to get us out of this mess.
Grateful to be a Nova Scotian.

#grateful

So, after today's announcement from the NS Governm

So, after today's announcement from the NS Government, and in order to keep the staff and clientele of @patronsbg (Patrons Bar & Grill), tonight's show is cancelled.

We are nearly through this folks.

Make sure to call in take-out orders to not only Patrons but with ALL your favorite restaurants in and around your neighbourhood. Let's all do our part to keep them all open for when this ends.
