May 1, 2008 Don't forget!!! next week, on Thursday, May 8th, we will be performing in Peterborough at the Montreal House we will also be appearing in Toronto the follwing night, Friday, May 9, at the Rivoli on Queen .
The Rivoli is always a great spot to see the Elkas band and this time will be no exception. Appearing with us will be a crew called Zeus which features Mike O'Brien of Paso Mino and Jason Collett. Opening the night will be the infamous Chef Michael P. Clive who will dazzle and drizzle us with his bombastic cooking demon-stration. I am very much looking forward to the night and I am hoping that it'll be lots of fun. Remember, though, no talking during the sets - that means you, Chef Clive.
April 5, 2008 London, On - Call The Office with Jason Collett TONIGHT!
Hi all, The Western Leg of the tour with Jason Collett was really great - there will be some photos up on the media page very shortly. I've been quite busy since the tour with Jason - I sat in with Joel Plaskett at the Marquee in Halifax and then the two of us holed up in Joel's new studio space to collaborate on a recording of two songs which will hopefully see the light of day sooner than later.
I'll post a piece about the Western dates shortly. I hope to see you Londoners tonight!
March 22, 2008 Western Leg Of Jason Collett Tour Starts Tonight! Hi all, I am here in Vancouver where I will be performing tonight with Jason Collett at the Plaza Club on Granville Street. Apparently, the sets are early. It looks like I will go on at around 7:45pm, so if you are planning to attend the EZ-Rocking event, please come early.
I will be backed by the very dynamic Collett band (minus Jason himself) who are sitting in for the Elkas men who could be here with me for this part of the tour.
I know that all these gigs are going to be special, so please come and check it out.

March 8, 2008 CALL THE OFFICE SHOW CANCELED DUE TO WEATHER
Sorry friends!!!!! Jason Collett made the call a few minutes ago! The weather is just too nutty for us to make it. We will hopefully reschedule and rock out together another time.
thanks for understanding!!!

Hi Everybody!
The Shows with Jason Collett last weekend were fantastic; both bands were really rockin' it and I can't wait to bring it to London, Ontario next Saturday, March 8 at Call the Office.
check the media page for some photos.
We are currently down one man. Doctor Jeff is sitting in with the Trews for the time being, leaving us to explore the bare bones of the tunes from Wall Of Fire. It's good to simplify sometimes. but only sometimes. Got it, Jeff? :)

Jason Collett Shows
Hey all,
Looks like I'm back on the road with part of the Elkas band opening for the legendary Jason Collett.
we kicked off the tour in Hamilton at the Casbah, were I was very happy to see some familiar faces and make some new fans as well.
Waterloo was last night at the Starlight and it was a great time. The Collett band was killin' it.
I'm battling what I just found out is a strep throat, and so singing has been a challenge. I never get sick; what the heck's going on?
Anyway, like I was sayin', we're down to a three piece (which I call a three-o) because Doctor Jeff had to perform some emergency surgery on the Trews. He's actually out opening for Ace Frehley of Kiss with those guys accross the states.
Have you ever seen Ace with no makeup on? He looks like what Eddie Murphy looks like when he dresses up as a white guy.
Anyway, I think that Jeff is probably having a great time, but he's missing out!!!
Don't you miss out too though, come to the Red Dog in Peterborough tonight and watch me wince my way through such hits as In My Den and Wall Of Fire (cause of the Strep throat, remember?)
just kidding, we've been rockin' out big-time.
The professor Doug is playin trombone and bass at the same time, and The Coach is playing five drums at the same time.
Tomorrow is Kingston and that will be it for a week before we hit Call The Office (classic venue)
rock on

Hey Everybody!
Looks like Peter will be heading out West with Jason Collett and his band at the end of March for a cross Canada tour. Peter will be appearing solo but also accompanied by a few members of Jason's band to fulfill the rock portion of the revue.
Before that, though, he'll be opening for Jason in Ontario for a few dates with the ever-lovin' Elkas band.
Check the tour page for dates!!!

Here's the piece from Entertainment Tonight Canada that featured Peter while in New York over Canada Day weekend! By the way, Ms. Cheryl Hickey, it's pronounced 'El-Kiss' and not 'Elk-Ass'!
