This picture was taken in Ottawa (by Ottawa's Randy MacNeil, a Canadian treasure of a photographer) in November, 2022. But this photo is pretty much what I look like right now, sitting here on my couch, February 20, 2023. I've currently got a buncha upcoming shows and adventures, all listed at “APPEARING LIVE" (click above or hover here). It's nice to type those words together so darn naturally –– put ‘em in bold, even –– feels almost like getting back to abnormal –– never fear, friends, fellow travellers –– you'll always be abnormal to me. Look me up if I swing by near you, and be kind to yourself out there. You deserve it –– you're lovely, Corin.

New Online Concert with Home Routes: The Stay-at-Home Troubadour Revue
Singer/storyteller Corin Raymond has been playing 6-8 pm Thursdays at the Cameron House for 17 years; well, 17 and a 1/2, if you wanna get technical. The lineup: CORIN RAYMOND, emoting from his Canadian-as-f&%k repertoire of original songs along with covers you've never heard but should; BRIAN KOBAYAKAWA, who when he's not touring with Serena Ryder or Jill Barber is killing it on upright bass in the "red-velvet twilight"; MIKE T. KERR, as impossibly-talented a guitar player as he is a one-of-a-kind human being; and TREASA LEVASSEUR, on piano and accordion, singing like a songbird and lighting the place up like a Christmas tree. Multi-instrumentalist (anything with strings, basically) CHRIS BARTOS is a regular deputy Sundowner. "Christmas lights and booze" sums up the vibe at the Cameron. As for what to expect? Corin's banter is fast and loose, the music's warm and wooden, and the audience are the nicest people around, from near and far. Best two hours you can spend in Toronto on a Thursday. PWYC stands for "Pay What You Can" (you can never pay what they're worth). 'Nuff said!
For full info and tickets, hover over the venue name "Famèe Furlane" above.
Sit-down dinner featuring regional cuisine prepared by award-winning local chef Mark Farrugia Local wine and craft beer available for purchase. Live music performances by Corin Raymond with James N. Wilson. $50 PER PERSON (PLUS SERVICE FEE).
The Sundowners will feature Corin Raymond, Treasa Levasseur, Brian Kobayakawa and Chris Bartos.
