B次元官网网址淚 think my favourite part of recording LIVE NOW was the expeditiousness of it all,B次元官网网址� said McMahon. B次元官网网址淚n some of my past studio experiences, I found the recording process to be quite tedious and over-thought. For this new album, our whole team generally went with our initial gut feelings when it came to song choices and what would make them the very best for the listener.

B次元官网网址淭hrow in the fact that Bryan Adams and his longtime band-mate Keith Scott were around daily, and it added to a really exciting atmosphere where I believed in the atmosphere, the process and myself once again.B次元官网网址�

McMahon has shared the stage with some iconic Canadian talent. He kicked off the release of his album LIVE NOW just two nights before heading out as support for the legendary Tom Cochrane last November as well as opening for The Guess WhoB次元官网网址檚 former front-man Burton Cummings for 11 dates throughout B.C. and Alberta in June of last year.

Last fall, his album release party for LIVE NOW which was hosted by the Fraternal Order of Eagles Auxiliary in support of the Ladysmith Arts Council sold out in a record time of six hours at the Ladysmith Eagles Hall.

B次元官网网址淚 think we tried to inject as much optimism and hope onto LIVE NOW as we possibly could,B次元官网网址� said McMahon. B次元官网网址淚 hope my fans, and new ears alike find joy in these songs and the lyrics in particular. As for the concerts themselves, IB次元官网网址檓 so proud of the acoustic duo show that my piano player, Joel Spillette and I have put together.

B次元官网网址淪tripping the songs back down to the way they sounded when they were written gives audiences a fresh take on some of my older material and the new songs as well. We make quite a bit of noise for a just a couple of fellas.B次元官网网址�

Separate from his album tour, will be a special fundraiser B次元官网网址楳ending FencesB次元官网网址� for the Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association on May 4 where he will be joined by special guest Chris Andres.

B次元官网网址淎fter coming off another long tour I always see playing near home in a new light,B次元官网网址� said McMahon. B次元官网网址淚 love where weB次元官网网址檙e from so much; never more than now, and the fact that IB次元官网网址檓 able to play several shows in my neck of the woods feels so good. IB次元官网网址檓 grateful that I have the support of this area of Vancouver Island.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 starting to get to the point of my life where IB次元官网网址檓 not looking at life in such an insular manner,B次元官网网址� said McMahon. B次元官网网址淚 want to take part in more things that give back and bring peace, and benefit others. When I was asked to take part in this event, I was more than happy to toss my hat in the ring and answer the call. ItB次元官网网址檒l be a wonderful night of music and connection.B次元官网网址�

McMahon will also play Osborne Bay Pub in Crofton on June 8 with two more planned Duncan concerts this year at Blue Grouse Winery on July 18, and the Duncan Showroom on Oct. 3. For information on tickets and other shows, visit
