Great review by Karen Fricker in the Toronto Star of the world premiere of The Cave at the Luminato Festival. Hopefully this is just the beginning! Great piece by John Millard, Tomson Highway and Martha Ross, and a killer band – Rob Clutton, Germaine Liu, Matti Pullki and Karen Ng, with John and yours truly leading the way.

I can\’t imagine playing with a lovelier and more talented band in this show of Henry Purcell covers. Andrew Downing leads the band in a journey filled with music, lament, raucous dance and infamous bedlam.

It\’s more fun with movies and live orchestra. I\’ll be playing the synth parts for the TSO when they perform a live orchestra soundtrack screening of Robert Zemeckis\’ 1985 classic, Back to the Future. Don\’t miss these vintage performances by Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover. Oh – and that DeLorean. Fri Oct 16 and Sat Oct 17 at Roy Thompson Hall.
