Released a new album today.
Pleased to have “Raven on a Ribcage” out into the world.
This compilation has way more of a Southern Rock & 70’s Outlaw vibe than a lot of the previous stuff I’ve done but we really pushed the boundaries of different genres with all of it and in some of these songs.
Along with the big tent of what falls into Country, there’s elements of Funk, Grunge, Metal, Blues, Flamenco and everything in between.

Huge thank you to Producer Bart McKay for the gift of being able to create and collaborate with him. His never ending patience and relentless pursuit of striving for perfection drives us all. Grateful for the opportunity to work together and even more so now the friendship that has developed from it.
The guys in studio for their unbelievable work ethic and talent, but more important their openness as we try to get things to different and new places. They rise to every challenge. Thank you Murray Pulver, Chad Melchert and Travis Switzer.
I’m so fortunate to have contributions from some of the best players in the world in addition to the guys in studio. On these tracks we have Jenee Fleenor on fiddle and mandolin, Eddy Dunlap on steel, Randy & Sherri Miller on Harmonica, Bart McKay on keys and Gord Maxwell, Mike Rogers, Craig Bignell & Sue Levesque all lending their voice talents on backing vocals. An exceptional group of performers, creators and musicians. Thank you.
As always, the sum is truly greater than the parts.🙏
Randy Lenna Schmidt for his killer road side photo that became the album cover (and Robert Schmidt for passing it on to me and also feedback on a couple tunes where he provided invaluable input. Not too shabby for some Cowboys and Riggers.😉) Thank you both.
And special thanks to my entire family for putting up with my music hobby but especially Tana Cugnet, David and Izzy. I’m so grateful to each of you.

I’m also incredibly fortunate to get to play some live shows at times with Dion Hrynewich, Morgan Turk, Richie Pollack and Todd Milleker.
We haven’t played together since last July at The Gateway Music Festival with us all going different directions and my schedule these past few months.
I’m looking forward to us getting back to playing some live shows and hopefully that means we might still hit the stage a couple times this summer and into the Fall.
The opening track “Dirt Road” is our first co-write as a band if you can believe it!
And as many do, came about humbly and out of nowhere as Morgan was doing a finger picking exercise one night before a practice and I jumped on it and said keep playing that! So if you know them congratulate them please as they are not just all great guys and great musicians, but they’re actually now great songwriters too!
Enjoy.

If you’d told me 7 years ago that after an almost 20 year hiatus from making or playing music of any kind I’d be writing, recording and releasing an original song or two I would have laughed at that idea or notion.
So it makes even more unbelievable to me to think and say that this is album number 8 in that period of time! Mind blown!🤯

Good luck to all the Farmers with seeding and planting this Spring. Late start for us in Saskatchewan but it will get in. Stay safe. Wishing you all a good crop.
Appreciate everyone who takes the time to give this album a spin and thank you all for being a part of my journey. 🤟🙏

Available on all streaming platforms today.

Grateful to have a co-write w/ Dan on his new record. It’s called the Graburn Letters. It’s about the murder of the only NWMP stationed at Fort Walsh to die in the line - Cst. Marmaduke Graburn. (Nov-1879) It’s told via letters exchanged by principals in the (his)story. @RCMPSK

Learned of the passing of my friend Brent Allin.
Generous with his time for so many org’s & fundraisers.
Photo from 2022 when we both were fortunate enough to receive the Queen Diamond Jubilee Medal.
A pleasure & honour to share that day with so many, but especially with Brent.

[Dan Cugnet @incugneto]

New tune out.
A raw uncut, unmixed version with just an acoustic guitar and a scratch vocal.
Imperfections and all.
Thanks to Bart McKay & @pulverizerm
And as always, thanks to everyone who gives these songs a listen. Appreciate it. 🤟🙏
