Anyone interested in helping support my music and in purchasing The Flood should check out http://igg.me/at/theflood . You can also give me a hand by sharing this with your community. Thanks - Ali 
On the Road
The Fugitives are once again out on tour, after spending Valentines in Rossland we're headed north to Dunster, Smithers and Prince George (Feb 20-24). Then back to Vancouver for a quick studio day. 
Tracking is Done,
Mixing begins! In October I started tracking a full length solo album at Marc Atkinson's studio on Hornby Island BC. Stay tuned for more news and my pre-sale campaign that kicks off in March 2015. I'm looking forward to sharing these old and new tunes with all of you. -Ali
