I've invested in some new audio recording gear and plan to record some demos and possibly an album in the coming months. Meanwhile, Tara and I have returned to our regular gig at Black Rock Resort in Ucluelet on Thursday nights and other bookings are coming in... It feels good to get back to making music for people.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7V439gRsmz5hCuV5tmGx-BVpcLsxhx9scAIN7CMI65H8_9jETxOJfCtQMpnL-uJq9FfxEEnfrcqxz7fLS1q1ynU3dgWkJrNkZ9tu7y9odNTD6KrzYfyNGituSgc1Dw4eT_dB7pRP4S0qa/s792/br+poster+mk2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="792" data-original-width="612" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7V439gRsmz5hCuV5tmGx-BVpcLsxhx9scAIN7CMI65H8_9jETxOJfCtQMpnL-uJq9FfxEEnfrcqxz7fLS1q1ynU3dgWkJrNkZ9tu7y9odNTD6KrzYfyNGituSgc1Dw4eT_dB7pRP4S0qa/w309-h400/br+poster+mk2.jpg" width="309" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p>Recently I've been pumping out a bit of a mix of videos.

I was the morning host of a commercial radio station for 6 years or so and during that time I found I loved interviewing people. It's an exciting process full of surprises, quick thinking and one of the most amazing ways to learn when you have a fascinating topic to discuss.</p><p>With things in our world in the greatest state of flux I've seen in my life I figured that would be a good thing to talk to people about. COVID, political and cultural shifts, the climate crisis and countless other personal drama are playing out and interacting. Each one of is is coping with these things in different ways, some are adapting and thriving, leaving the old patterns that were destroyed behind while others don't have that luxury. So far I've lined up some actors, musicians, comedians and actors to talk about this sort of stuff but I'm also hoping to talk to mothers, retirees, recent graduates and others who are facing large-scale personal changes along-side the more global ones.</p><p> If you'd like to have a chat send me an email; ballisticpig@gmail.com.</p>

For now I've cleaned it up a bit and intend to use it to focus on my creative adventures more than the working band portion of my musical output. <br />
<br />
A recent project I've recorded is this ode to those who have lost a loved one to mental illness... a heavy tune that means a lot to me.<br />

On a lighter note there will still be updates from the wedding/event band portion of my life. Tara and I have been spending some time in the studio, lately. Here's a demo of an 80s classic we whipped up the other day;<br />

Summer has passed and we had a great time playing events of all sorts. The full band played a ton of weddings and other great events. We even got to hit the road a bit and play some gigs in the lower mainland recently.<br />
Anyway, we're slowing down a bit now... The next full band Ballistic Pig gig we have scheduled is Mom Prom at the ANAF hall in Ucluelet. Here are the details. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjG8_1jtIPRtbJ2D3wRhMwgVfWUZ1RAToozC3GQ4cTi27UZuaS47BPh3MgC-6Mc7ewF8VZ4NpuHDF27alKxtbb5DVV-d3CxVFelnEAKWVJPPAfMiHBCvyQDzgV608SPTwSlorcj3_9zX1c/s1600/Mom+Prom+mk3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1236" data-original-width="1600" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjG8_1jtIPRtbJ2D3wRhMwgVfWUZ1RAToozC3GQ4cTi27UZuaS47BPh3MgC-6Mc7ewF8VZ4NpuHDF27alKxtbb5DVV-d3CxVFelnEAKWVJPPAfMiHBCvyQDzgV608SPTwSlorcj3_9zX1c/s400/Mom+Prom+mk3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Of course Monday night jam night at The Tofino Legion continues, as does the open mic at Ukee Dogs in Ucluelet on Wednesday nights. You can also continue to catch Geoff's solo sets Wednesday afternoons at Long Beach Lodge. For other gigs check out the calendar to the right of every page of the website.<br />
<br />
Hopefully this winter will be fruitful with plans to add a rockabilly inspired act, a more elaborate duo set and some recording projects to the mix now that we have a little time. Stay tuned.<br />
<br />
Finally, Geoff has taken over a more active role booking events for the ANAF veteran's hall in Ucluelet, hopefully you'll come and check out one of the upcoming shows (or perform one). You can email him at ballisticpig@gmail.com if you have an idea for an event there.<br />
<br />
Cheers, Geoff <br />

So On the Saturday afternoon you'll be able to catch Geoff and Tara (with a little help from their friends) playing song from his 2016 Vancouver Island Music Awards nominated album "Women and Losin''<br />
