SPAMED! Can you ever forgive me? If so, please vote for me!
I am in Round Two of The TRCoA Unsigned Artist Competition. Help me get to Round Three by clicking my face and voting for me!
If I’m in the top 4 I get to play a showcase for record executives and could win 100 free hours in the studio.
If I were selected, it would really help me rock some faces off, please take a second and vote.
Thanks!

I know I said it all weekend, but hats off to you guys for pulling it off like you did, it was a big endeavour and will only get better, thanks for having me, what a nice bunch of people you are, cheers Cicadafest Gordie
My apologies one and all for not being able to make it at the last minute this weekend. You are all in good hands... some of my favourite musicians of all time are about to grace Niagara Falls. Have a great weekend and I'm in next year for sure.
Hey Cicada Fest... I have not heard about you before... it's too late for this year, but I would be interested in playing the gig next year... sounds like fun, drop me a note and we can talk about it once you get through this year's fest! M.T.
