I grew up close to the lake, the near the eastern point of Lake Ontario. Mount Nemo stood close to where the sun set. My grandfather lived near the escarpment in Waterdown, up the hill from Great Falls. The landscape was my main influence and it was such a cool area with the lake, the ancient cedars on the cliffs, and the four distinct seasons. Not far north from there are endless lakes and canoe routes.

The land is the thing that makes the most sense to me. It has inspired my music throughout my life as I strive to capture the experience the land provides and bring it back with me, to reinspire myself later. Playing my songs or listening back home brought the original inspiration out again - the original emotion brought by the land, the original pure thought captured in poem and song.

Many songs I had written over the years layered themselves effortlessly into the scenes of the Bruce Trail, filmed while completing the end to end hike. A journey of almost 1000 kilometers across the vast Ontario landscape along the Niagara Escarpment.

My hope is that the scenes of the land along the Bruce Trail speak for themselves and the words and music help to inspire a greater love, appreciation, and activity in others just as it has done for me. Or at the very least to provide a soothing distraction from modern life. A calming return to the real world. Where not much has changed and the seasons cycle on.
