This week I’ll be travelling to the village of Sointula, on Malcolm Island, British Columbia, for a week of recording sessions with David Essig at Watershed Studio. I’m very excited to be working with David, a masterful songwriter, blues guitarist, recording artist, and producer who is an iconic figure on the Canadian festival circuit. In addition to his 21 albums (including the recently released Essig, Taylor, Gifford, Miron), David has published a couple of books, including an excellent novel entitled Dancing Hand. If you’re among those rare Canadians who are unfamiliar with David’s impressive body of work, you should check out his numerous YouTube videos, find him on Facebook, or visit his website at DavidEssig.com.
