Music Projects - Past & Present
The Fancy Ticklers (Ongoing)
A mixed-genre collection of original songs. Quirky and off-beat, it takes the idiom “whatever tickles your fancy”, quite seriously. If you are asking yourself, “what the Hell is this?”, then you get it. You’ll hear great lines, such as:
“She was a rocket in a bonnet and badder than cat in the hat!”
“She says, “Now, Baby, if you keep that up, I’ll take you out in the corner with my elbows up!”
So, check out, the love song for the ice age…the age of women’s hockey with, “A Hockey Girl”, and catch the Big Band Blues sound as L’il Bo Peep breaks bad and shows the teach what’s up, and have a listen to The Fancy Ticklers
Ukulele en La Playa (2025)
Composed and recorded as a soundtrack for a Youtube video, this single shows a bit of range with instrumentation and genre. A melodic instrumental duet, acoustic guitar, a simple Latin rhythm and it’s siesta en la playa time.
Ever The bridesmaid (2016-2025)
Located in and around Toronto, you will see us at your favourite venue in the GTA and around southern Ontario. Upbeat, energetic, but always with a sense of style, we choose our songs to please and surprise an audience of all ages 19+, we'll bring you back to the good ol' days but then remind that you ain't dead yet.
