About

I Do is primarily a collection of stories about love and relationships – the beauty and the pain and the sacrifice between any two people in love… be it husband/wife, mother/child or child/parent. I Do explores the beauty and struggles of marriage, while many other songs (Marsha G, Aimee, Digging My Own Grave, Cross the River and Heaven) deal with the seismic upheaval and pain of losing that love. The beauty lies in finding faith in something invisible that can sustain us and remaining hopeful that love never fades away… it always endures. Edmonton explores the sacrifices made by every immigrant leaving their homeland to find a better life and future for their family.

“I LOVE YOU IS NOT SO SIMPLE… BUT I DO”

I Do features many of the musicians from the first album: Robbie Gjersoe, Bukka Allen, Brian Standefer and Glenn Fukunaga, with the stellar addition of Kym Warner, mandolin (The Green Cards), Will Sexton, guitars and the legendary Dony Wynn (Robert Palmer) on drums. I Do is more percussively oriented and focused on themes of transition, loss and growth. Mixed by the “bullet-proof” Sean Beaven (Guns N’
