‘A Way Through Time’. The new album.
Available for your listening pleasure MARCH 15TH. Please take the time to pre-save/add it now wherever you listen to music.

'A Way Through Time'
There is a picture in my mind, it’s of my father, he’s just a kid sitting on the couch in front of some speakers listening to music with his guitar in hand.
It’s so clear I can almost feel it, and when I zoom in with just enough imagination, I can see the cover of the album he’s listening to.
So sometimes I put that record on and picture myself sitting right next to him, strumming along.
Music is the best form of time travel we have…so far.
‘A Way Through Time’ was written throughout these past few years, in and around my house here in Calgary AB. These were the songs and melodies I would hold tightly to, something inside screaming that they mattered, constantly drawing me in further every time I’d sing them.
As a thread began to weave itself through each song, it became clearer and clearer that each song had purpose, a story to tell and something to work towards.
It is the recognition that life barrels on, lap after lap and as we learn to ride the wave we begin to take advantage of the very moment, allowing us to give it away and love recklessly.

Ernie Clement's 4th hit of the game is a home run!

What we pay attention to is the currency in which we’re all trading especially on social media. It’s up to you to make the decisions that reflect your timeline and focus - not the algorithms. Reward good things - get good things back. Same as IRL.

Really grateful to the community in Calgary that has continually pushed me forward. What a night we had on Saturday at the Bella Concert Hall. Filled up my tank to hear from every single one of you who said you loved it, some even cried and everyone sang their butts off. Next to Edmonton on the 20th and then Red Deer on the 22nd 📸: @lukereiten

Just constantly pushing for you to come see me and the band play some songs. ‘Should’ve Know Better Tour’ is happen throughout Alberta and BC in Nov so make it happen eh.

[JJ Shiplett @jjshiplett]

Power in the whole building dropped in the middle soundcheck. This song is so intense that the power grid couldn’t handle it. I also tried to start a fight between the good people of Kitchener and Waterloo. Thanks for a great night and @GrittyDirt for letting me warm them up.

[JJ Shiplett @jjshiplett]

Night one with @GrittyDirt in Hamilton was a success on all accounts. Thanks for the warm welcome back Hammertown! Now we drive through the changin’ fall colours all the way to…Kitchener ON.
