Latest News...


Sorry for the length of time between posts....life has been very busy lately. My father who was the main influence on my musical career while growing up in Toronto under went major heart surgery recently and much of my time lately has been spent helping him recover. I am happy to report he is doing well is is back home in Georgetown Ontario.

Well, I have begun recording my next CD entitled "Believe", although progress has been slow I am happy with what has been created thus far. And I am really looking forward to playing the songs "live" with the new lean and mean 4pc Chip Gall Band.

I am also working on a project as an outlet for the heavier side of my writing called "Glasgow". I am writing all of the guitar parts and leaving the bass guitar to Jeff Harris who is the very talented bass player in my live band. The melodies, lyrics and lead vocals will be written by my good friend Corey Blancher long time lead singer for the popular band Hypnotic Murmur. This [for now] will be a recording project only, however you may see a few live shows in 2009!

I am also working on an acoustic version of my debut CD Me, Myself & You! As some of you know I have been playing some solo acoustic shows and I just love it! So I thought why not record an acoustic version of the CD for those who aren't into the full onslaught of electric guitars. It really give the tunes a new flavor and opens new markets for my music to be heard as well.

I am also looking forward to doing some co-writing with the very talnted Larrie Blancher [Corey's twin brother]. Larrie fronts the band 13 Aces and has embarked ona solo career. I am very pumped at the prospect of wprking with Larrie and Cory as they are top notch musicians and writers.

That's it for now...talk to you all again soon!
