Playing alongside the reenergized Corey Haim and New York's dynamo Frank Molina in this suspense-filled thriller, written and produced by Jackie Giroux, Cullins is ecstatic.

Day 12 - Penobsquis, NB

What we thought was going to be a house concert, turned out to be a house party in Penosquis

Emily. We set up in an old barn that they have converted into a bar and dance party area.

Day 8 - L'escalier - Montreal, Que

Another early morning waking up in London, we started our trip back east with a long but smooth trip to Montreal. Driving without a map and completley on instinct and Scott's knowledge of the french language, we arrived on St Catherines Street in plenty of time for the show. The venue turns out to be a vegan sandwich shop as well as a music venue, so we were all happy to munch down on some delicious soup and sandwiches after the tim hortons we had… Continue

We wake up in Peterborough, pack up our things, stuff it all back in the Subaru, crumple up the first parking ticket of the tour and head out on our way.
