<p>Just wanted to let you know about a neat new project I am part of THIS AFTERNOON for Alan Neal’s CBC/Radio-Canada afternoon show, <a contents="ALL IN A DAY." data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio?radio_one=ottawa&cbc_music=toronto" target="_blank">ALL IN A DAY.</a> </p>
<p>So today they will be taking a look at the crunch that organizations like the <a contents="Ottawa Food Bank" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.ottawafoodbank.ca/" target="_blank">Ottawa Food Bank</a> are under right now. Calls have gone way up, donations have dried, while many volunteers have had to stay home... </p>
<p>So he asked musicians (like me!) to try out a wee experiment... putting together (while social distancing) musicians to create something brand-new, a song of hope, or struggle, or a call to action, that reflected what communities are struggling through right now. He paired me up with the amazing vocalist that is Dee Butters (the PepTides, DeeDee7) and we got cracking. With time and sleep being tight this week as it was... the press was on. </p>
<p>Anyway, to hear the final result... All in a day airs from 3-6PM on CBC Radio One 91.5FM in Ottawa or online at cbc.ca/allinaday and our collab tune / segment will be aired between 430-5PM. And THIS WEEKEND ONLY, when you make a donation on the Ottawa Food Bank website, you can download our track (and all the others) from this week’s musical collaboration experimentation!</p>Liam Lloydtag:liamlloyd.com,2005:Post/63339132020-05-28T21:07:13-04:002020-10-03T06:02:47-04:00BESIDE THE PIANO **AGAIN**<p>Another Facebook Livestream for you guys!

<p>Last Friday night I went live and performed my first Facebook LiVeStream gig... Definitely a new and unique experience for me. Then today I thought, "Why not share the video with you all?" So here we are! And just FYI I was digging the cover tune vibe that night, so the whole show is me playing a mix of fan requests and choice cover tunes. </p>
<p>Easiest way to check out the video is to just go to my <a contents="LIAM LLOYD FACEBOOK PAGE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/LiamLloydMusic/" target="_blank">LIAM LLOYD FACEBOOK PAGE</a> and it will be right there on my wall!

It pays tribute to an old friend of his, Donnie Poirier, who passed away many years ago. An amazing stepdancer, this tip-of-the-hat to Donnie talks about that hot summer night in 1979 when he jumped on stage with my old man's group and had a couple thousand people mesmerized with only his feet as he danced the night away. The song features one of my dad's lifelong best friends, Eli Boucher, on verse II, and one of my lifelong best friends, Eli Boucher Jr, on verse I. Catch me on the third verse before my dad brings it home at the end.</p>

Morrison and I playing <em>Fiddler's Green</em>, one of my favourite slow-jams from one of the best Canadian bands ever, <em>The Tragically Hip</em>. We lost lead singer/songwriter Gord Downie just over a year ago after a battle with brain cancer, so I thought it fitting to share with you all. And please pardon my rudimentary piano playing...</p>

That said, June will bring with it some changes, indeed. This Thursday will be our last week at Fat Tuesdays as they will be closing their doors for good after this coming weekend. It has been a pile of fun getting to play some 75 weeks in a row with my good pal T.J. Morrison, getting to know some of the more interesting regulars, being treated so well week after week by the knockout girls on the wood, and crushing inane numbers of some of the best fish tacos in the city on a weekly basis! </p>

I just spent a couple weeks in Northern Africa. I climbed the highest mountain in northern Africa, I camped out in the Sahara Desert, I met some amazing people from all over the world, I smoked some (a lot of) hash, I ate waaaaaay too many tagines, I rode a camel, I was invited for lunch in a traditional Berber mountain village home... It was all pretty amazing :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here are a couple pics from the trip :)</p>

Friggin crazy time of year eh...? I also snuck away to Quebec for four days for some skiing, bonfires, libations, and cheese :) Got some wild snow up there but that didn't keep us off the hill. I picked 3 lbs of ice out of my beard at the end of the day I think (see pic below)</p>

We camped at the foot of Kluane National Park, fished with grizzly bears in Alaska, hiked amazing mountains in British Columbia, trekked to the snow-covered peaks of the Yukon. Just a great experience all-in-all :)</p>
<p>That said, it has been a rough couple in music as we have lost two of the greatest (in my humble opinion) songwriters that have graced this planet of ours. Tom Petty and Gord Downie. Both legends in their own right. Tom provided much of the soundtrack to my journey through the Rocky Mountains as we drove the entire Haines loop. From Whitehorse to Haines Junction to Haines to Skagway to Carcoss and back to Whitehorse. Every turn providing a view impossibly more picturesque than the previous.</p>
<p>Always great to go away, always great to get back home too. I predict lots of Petty and Tragically Hip songs making their way into the setlist in the shows ahead...</p>
<p> </p>

<p>You can see me at LINDT CHOCOLATE SHOP @ 2:30PM and then again at CRAFT BEER MARKET @ 3:15.</p>
<p>Note that these are only half-hour shows, so make sure you get there on time! I'll be debuting a couple new songs so things might get interesting!</p>
<p>Come on out!</p>

<p>Id like to first thank everyone who listened to the song and watched the video on YouTube, but a special HUGE thanks to those who purchased the tune on Bandcamp! It was certainly a unique way to go about a release, and I definitely learned some things during this process. Additionally, Id like to give a shout out to the Christie Lake Kids, the amazing charity with whom I partnered for this campaign, I look forward to tallying the revenue (shouldn't take long lol) and handing over a chunk of cash to them!</p>
<p>So for all you iTunes-ers, <a contents="CLICK HERE" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/the-ghost-of-buck-hill-single/id1270972196" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to grab the tune! </p>
<p>For all you Spotify-ers, would be amazing if you threw the song on a playlist for the fall :)</p>
<p>Appreciatively, <br>~ LL</p>Liam Lloydtag:liamlloyd.com,2005:Post/47864112017-07-20T15:36:51-04:002019-10-02T08:15:05-04:00TODAY IS THE DAY!<p><a contents="The video has been posted on YouTube! " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oypmGAW_tk&t=5s" target="_blank">The video has been posted on YouTube! </a>It seems Bandcamp is having some trouble right now getting my page up-and-running, so please note that the only way to purchase the tune (as of right now), is by clicking on '<em>buy</em>' on the Bandcamp widget above, or on the <a contents="Music page!" data-link-label="Music" data-link-type="page" href="/music" target="_blank">Music page!</a></p>
<p>Update: As of 430pm, you are now able to find <a contents="my profile" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://liamlloydmusic.bandcamp.com/track/the-ghost-of-buck-hill" target="_blank">my profile</a> through Bandcamp!</p>

<p>~ The video will go up on the <a contents="Liam Lloyd YouTube Channel" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/user/LiamLloydBand" target="_blank">Liam Lloyd YouTube Channel</a> at noon, 12:00pm, on Thursday, July 20</p>
<p>~ The song will be available for purchase *EXCLUSIVELY* on <a contents="Bandcamp" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://bandcamp.com/help/downloading" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> for <em>just one dollar</em> during this initiative</p>
<p>~ Bandcamp keeps a much smaller % of sales than iTunes, which will hopefully maximize the amount of money raised for the amazing charity I am working with, <a contents="The Christie Lake Kids" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.christielakekids.com/about" target="_blank">The Christie Lake Kids</a>, and help me recoup some (hopefully all...?) of my costs as well</p>
<p>~ Bandcamp also gives you the option to pay more for the song (which includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more), should you be feeling extra charitable on the day of your purchase.</p>
<p>~ I have pledged to donate <em><span class="font_large">50% of every dollar I see</span></em> to the Christie Lake Kids for 6 weeks after the release...until August 31st at midnight, so why not just get your purchase out of the way right off the bat :)</p>
<p><span class="font_large">So excited </span>to see how this goes!!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone :)</p>
<p> </p>Liam Lloyd
