Nearly Famous Music Festival
On Friday I played a set at the Nearly Famous Independant Music Festival at the Anza Club in Vancouver. Such a good night! I went first, so not a lot of folks had gathered yet, but those who were there seemed to listen... my favourite type of crowd One that listens
Played some new tunes! Including a little snippet of the christmas song i wrote... everyone seemed to like it! Totally got some whistles after the christmas song! I've been writing lots with my friend Don McLeod and we've ended up with some really cool tunes... I can't wait to record them. Soon I promise!
Don't forget to spread the Ali gospel and request my song "I Love Christmas" on the raaadiooo!!!

Cancun, Mehicoooo
WOW. So, I just got back from Mexico! The Canadian Tourism Commission hired me to come play a lunch gig for about an hour in Cancun... and they flew me out there for three nights! Sheeeesh, it was amazing to spend some time in the sun (although i made sure i was well sun screened), and to be able to swim in an ocean that was... dare i say it... warm. Totally amazing. Even at the little beach where our hotel was, I was able to spot colourful fishies... it was like being a fish tank for reeeallls!
I went with my mum, and my Aunt Joan came along too... Just the best weekend ever. And I'm totally legal in Mexico so I might have had a couple margaritas.. maybe a pina colada or two... don't tell anyone though. I even came home with a poncho, which i actually wear. No lies, I've worn it pretty much everyday since I got back... it's mighty comfortable.
Anyways, an amazing trip... Got to play a few tunes, got to take in a little trip. Two thumbs up.
I Love Christmas
So, my friend Don McLeod and I are writing together and a couple weeks ago we ended up writing a christmas song! Weird, I know, but dude, it became the funnest christmas song ever! We loved it so so much that we decided to record it!
We scrambled to get things together and ended up in the studio last week, and recorded "I Love Christmas". It was the funnest day ever!! We had a pile of musicians come in, stand up bass, sax (alto and tenor), trumpet, guitar, i played piano... And it just ended up better than we could have imagined. There are even sleigh bells involved... but don't worry, they're very tasteful.
Anyways, we ended up with this song that you can't help but smile and dance to when it's playing. Well, I think so at least... I really hope you all feel the same way! It's going to be up on the site really soon, and... drum roll pleeeease.... it's going to be on the radio as well! Pretty exciting. Also, I'll be singing it on the Mountain FM Christmas Breakfast on December 2nd... around 8 30 in the morning.
Since it will be on the radio, I was hoping that maybe all you out there could spread the Ali gospel and request "I Love Christmas" on your favourite radio station! You won't regret it I promise
Let me know what you think when you first hear it!!
