The Juno Award-winning Canadian-American singer/songwriter has released six albums and two DVDs to date, and has appeared on numerous soundtracks and compilations, as well as collaborated with artists like Elton John, David Byrne and Keane.
His latest album, All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu, was released this March and features the single “Who Are You New York?”
