My third record, "Tightrope of Dreams, was an album where I had to mine some deeper places, reflecting on the highwire of dreams that I had pursued, with a balancing act between the influences of Scotland and my new home in Canada. I think the group of songs, and particularly the title track and album cover, capture this journey. Musically, it's an interesting hybrid between Canamericana and Celtic roots.
The album has a couple of songs, "Five Minutes" and "Stronger In Broken Places", that were winners in the Unisong and the International Songwriting Competitions. The record was mostly tracked at Puck’s Farm and became an interesting journey in how the production unfolded, working with engineers Keith Mariash and then Michael Banton-Jones.
