Happy Holidays Everyone!!!!
I am home on Ontario for two very special shows this month. My old buddy and drummer Andrew Penner and I will share the stage on the 23rd of December at Phog Lounge in Windsor, ON. The 2nd show is the ultra cool year-end-bash on the 28th at The Coach, featuring the Low Tones, Kenneth MacLeod and other Windsor-based rockers.
The latest LMM album, 'Miss Canada', was nominated for an East Coast Music Award in the 'Folk Recording of the Year' category. Nominees include: Eric Angus White (Always Home), Little Miss Moffat (Miss Canada), Jill Barber (Oh Heart), Isaac & Blewett (Redhead) and Dave Gunning (Two-Bit World). You can check it out here for more: http://www.ecma.ca/index.asp?section=2005MusicNominees The ECMA's are in February 2005.
As well, my song "Sleep-Deprived" has advanced onto the next round of judging for the 2004 International Songwriting Competition in the Folk/Singer-Songwriter category. Semi-finalists will be announced in early January 2005, followed by the finalists shortly thereafter. Winners will be announced in March 2005

Hey everybody,
Happy Holidays. I received a great gift in the mail yesterday from my buddy David Cieplinski. He is an amazing photographer and he sent me some great prints of the last Little Miss Moffat set at the Marquee Club. I will get them to Carly to put up on the website. Thanks DAVID!!!
I was invited to showcase at the 2005 East Coast Music Awards in Sydney, NS. The ECMA's are happening in February of 2005 and I am bringing the great Benn Ross and Lukas Pearse to back me up in the Songwriter's Cafe.
I will be headed back to Ontario for the holidays and will be playing two shows in Windsor, one of which is the great Modern Soul Christmas Party! Come one, come all.

September is a lovely month to be in the studio. We are presently at the infamous 'Mullet' putting some new Miss Moffat demos together. Mr. Plaskett is in the producer's chair and Mr. Austin is behind the massive controls. We are doing demos for a few new songs, namely "Heavy Clouds", "Search and Rescue", and "Whirligig". Thanks to Claire E Smith for the red wine and giggles, and thanks to Benn E Ross for the tight ass drumming.

Greetings.
I will be opening for Julie Doiron in Hell's Kitchen, Halifax, on Thursday, September 16th. This is pretty exciting for me because Julie was a huge influence on my songwriting when I was in my earlier stages of Little Miss Moffat. Come on down and check out the show. Julie has a new album out called "Goodnight Nobody".

After some deep contemplation, I have decided to keep living in a trailer the Nova Scotian backwoods this fall, instead of returning to Halifax. However, that does not mean I won't be around. With Grandma Moffat's 1991 T-Bird I will be fully mobile.
Joel and Charles and I are hitting the Mullet again to record demos in late September. "The Loyalist One", "Heavy Clouds", and "Search and Rescue" are some of the new material that we will be messing with.

Hey Everyone. Summer is flying by here in southwest Nova Scotia. My job at Kejimkujik National Park is so intense with hundreds of visiting campers to play for and interpret nature for. I have written several Park-related songs and have many Little Miss Moffat songs mulling around in the old brain. The latest c.d., Miss Canada is now available at selected Chapters Books Stores, as well as the Keji gift shop. Enjoy the sun everyone.

Hey y'all,
I am writing from a staff trailer home in the middle of Kejimkujik National Park. Surrounded by 1970's wood panelling in a small room with bed that takes up 3/4 of my of the floorspace, I am still operating Little Miss Moffat. Who knew you could get internet in the middle of a Acadian Forest?
A Barred Owl called outside my window a few nights ago. It was loud and kinda scary. I called back, "Who Cooks for You?" and it flew away. I guess it liked the Joel Plaskett version of production better.
If anyone is visiting Nova Scotia this summer, be sure to come to Kedge on a Saturday night when I will be performing live at the Outdoor Theatre. I am a summer National Park Interpreter here and I incorporate music into nature/cultural Interpretation. This summer I will be playing songs like "The Grand Ole Osprey", and "The Jim Charles Song", and "Beaver Dam".
As well, a local filmmaker and I are applying for funding to shoot a video for the song "Streetcar Transfer". It will be shot in Toronto.
Well, I must get back to canoeing the lovely Kedge lakes.

Hey y'all,
Thanks to everyone who popped by Salvation last night to catch Matthew, Mark and myself with Brent and Benn. We are going to do a repeat of the Grimson/Moffat line-up at the Khyber on Thursday, April 29th. For anyone who has not caught Matthew Grimson, I beg you to come to this show. Matt is a songwriter strong and true. And for those of you who want to catch the same LMM show that Ontario caught this month with a back-up band I am forever grateful for (Benn Ross, Brent Randall, and Mark Bragg), please stop by.
It may be the last Little Miss Moffat show before I head off to Kejimkujik National Park for the summer.
