Jamie Candiloro!?!?!
Talk about top ten things I never thought would happen…
So I was in the studio. Well, already booked the time and getting ready to make a record. Then this dude adds me on Twitter. Woah! It’s Jamie Candiloro, my all time favourite producer of all time ever!
Jamie has done such records as Easy Tiger, Follow the Lights, Rock N Roll and III/IV by Ryan Adams and Songbird by Willie Nelson. He was also a part of recordings done by R.E.M. Courtney Love, Luscious Jackson, the Eagles, Ed Kowalczyk (of Live), Jesse Malin and Spacehog.
With your help I can work with Jamie this summer. This would be the ultimate dream come true.
Please feel free to pre-order a CD if you were gonna anyway. There’s also a bunch of fun fundrasing items like when we raised money for “Ours”.
Thanks guys…here we go!!! 🙂

New Album “American Cities” + Aberta Shows
Next weekend I start a series of 2-3 day studio sessions at The Hive in Vancouver, BC with my old pal Jesse Gander for my new album ‘American Cities’.
I know that you people are awesome and really helped my last album come in to existence. If there is any chance you want to throw a dollar or two my way, my paypal is billy@lostrecords.ca…just thought I would put that out there 🙂
Two Alberta shows coming up…
Sunday June 10 Lolita’s Lounge 1412 – 9th Ave SE Calgary, AB 403 265 5739 7pm $7 cover
Tuesday June 12 a The Artery http://theartery.ca/ 9535 Jasper Ave. Edmonton, AB 780 441 6966 8:30pm
Thanks for coming out to all the tour dates in the last few months. I am sad to say I won’t be able to do any touring for awhile, but I am still available for private events and ‘living room’ concerts if interested. All the info is up on the website if you’d like to book one and help me raise some recording monies.
Hope you are well, all the best and I will talk to you again when these new tunes are all done.
Your old pal Bil
