Borrowers at Halifax Jazz Festival

Borrowers played a free morning show on the Halifax Jazz Festival Mainstage last week!

Borrowers + Hayley Ryerson Quartet

The West Brooklyn Speakeasy is going strong with shows every Saturday night! I went down last weekend for a double bill with both Borrowers and the Hayley Ryerson Quartet. Thanks so much to the Speakeasy for the very warm hospitality.

 

Open Waters Festival 2026

This year's Open Waters was another excellent edition of the festival. I played on Saturday with Borrowers and on Sunday with Many Worlds, who performed a piece by Michael C. Duguay arranged by Andrew MacKelvie.

Borrowers Shows

This weekend Borrowers played two fun shows - one at the Woodside Tavern in Dartmouth, and one at the West Brooklyn Speakeasy in the valley. We shared the bills with some great local bands: Art Bouman, the Dusty Halos, and Yarrow.

Borrowers at Mx3N

This week included the launch of a new band, Borrowers, which played its first show at Radstorm, as part of the awesome Mask Mandatory Music Night (Mx3N). Playing compositions by Andrew MacKelvie, the band was Andrew (saxophone), Ellen (harp), Sam Wilson (guitar), and Casey Thompson (bass).
