Queen or College St?

Queen

Trinity Bellwoods or Highpark, Riverdale or Kew Gardens?

It’s a tie between Trinity Bellwoods and Highpark. My dog Dave LOVES jumping over the fences and exploring the trails in Highpark. But Bellwoods holds so many golden summer memories for me.

EP or LP?

LP

Early bird or night owl?

Early Bird

Road or studio?

That’s a tough one..They tap into such different sides of me. I would say the road feels a lot harder, but the groove you get into on stage from playing each night is exhilarating.

Swiss Chalet or Roti?

Roti always, especially from Mother India with a side of mango chutney. However, Swiss Chalet trumps Roti as soon as the Festive Special is available.
