Synthosaurus - Futuredance (Live at the Ironwood)
Synthosaurus ignites the dancefloor at the Ironwood Stage and Grill in Calgary, AB. Special thanks to Mitchell Nybo and crew, Pat MacIntyre, Matthew McGuigan (rocking a Synthosaurus T-shirt in the background, no less!), Greg Cockerill, JP on sound, and of course the amazing Peter Brush for his simply unstoppable dance moves.

Ben Plotnick & Brendan McGuigan - First Light
First Light by Beautiful Unicorn
Here's a quick little sneak peek at the album Ben Plotnick and I have been recording with Spencer Cheyne. We're still mixing and mastering but I thought it'd be cool to offer a glimpse of what we're doing for anyone who's interested! This is a tune that I wrote, called "First Light". It features Ben Plotnick on fiddle, myself on bass, guitar and banjo, and Jarred Albright (Lark Hill, McKeever's Crossing) on Mandolin.
We're going to be playing live at the Ironwood on February 9 with some special guests, so mark your calendars if you like what you hear! We're working towards gathering the funds to put CDs to print and do an official CD release, so if you'd like to have a lovely, fancy copy of the album come on out to the album fundraiser show February 9 and pick up a pre-release copy! More info on that event will be on facebook etc. soon.
Happy Monday!

January shows!
January Shows
-------------
As I am in Calgary for the month of January, I'll be playing a handful of shows around town, all of which you are cordially invited to attend!
Jan. 8 - Celtic music night at Paddy O'Leary's Irish Pub with Sean Softley
I'll be playing a duo show with Calgary's own Sean Softley for a night of celtic music. This will be our first time playing together after a long-standing desire to share the stage together, so it should be a fun night of original music as well as classic celtic tunes!
Jan. 14 - Palomino show with Deon Blyan
The following Wednesday I will have the pleasure of accompanying songsmith extraordinaire Deon Blyan at the Palomino. The one and only Pat Phillips will be joining in on drums, as well! Show starts at 8pm, come on down!
Jan 22 - Celtic Night at Paddy O'Leary's with Ben Plotnick
Basically the same type of show as the 8th, but this time with fiddlemaniac Ben Plotnick, with whom I just finished recording an acoustic instrumental album that we think will knock your socks off! Stay tuned for more info on that.
