To celebrate New Year’s on the Orthodox calendar, we’ve lined up some special tunes for you. In our own orthodox way, we’ll be playing almost exclusively our own neo-roots material. Our own way, as always.

It will be a warm, cozy night to get away from the frigid howling mess that Toronto has become, and time to raise a pint to spring. You know, the more you come out and have fun, the sooner spring will come. Scientific fact.

Me on banjo, Doc on guitar, and Neil on sax and bass. 3 sets – starting at 9, done by midnight. Hope to see you.

Hot Buttered Rum – nice holiday song

This has long been one of my favourite holiday sings. Written by Tommy Thompson and performed by him with The Red Clay Ramblers, I almost wore the vinyl out (I know I’m dating myself there). I finally got around to learning it properly for the Hicks & Dawe 2013 Holiday Party, and decided it might be nice to record it just very simply with the Gold Tone dojo in my living room. With a little Kraken Spiced Rum, just to ease my vocal cords of course. Hope you like it.

That was a night!

A big round of thanks to the many people who filled up Grafitti’s last night. What a great time we had. Still full when we closed up at 10. We played shorter sets so we had more time to chat with friends and patrons. We gave away two Deerslayer mugs, two Hicks & Dawe holiday mugs, and two vintage vinyl – a rare Willie Nelson and The Secret Policemen’s (Other) Ball. Thanks to Marti Aykroyd for helping with the decorations and raffle tickets. We’ll be doing this again for sure. Maybe next time someone will by the band a round without being prompted – it’s thirsty work under the lights …
