Yikes! I suddenly remembered I have a website, and I should maybe update it. Mr. Self Promotion needs to come out of winter hibernation!
What's up? Well, I am done tracking/mixing/mastering my next cd...it's called Strange Weather and features twelve new songs with, as usual, yours truly playing all the instruments and singing and mic'ing the drumset in as many different ways as I could think of...as soon as the cover is ready, it'll be available for sale. CD Release show is likely.
I've been having a blast playing acoustic shows with The Hupman Brothers, and discovered that the mandolin is really just a tiny guitar with four pairs of strings tuned across the seventh fret...which I pretty much knew before, but it just sort of hit me in a "hey, i can do this!" kinda way...of course, this eureka moment occurred onstage with Ryan and me trading licks while Scott held everything down on his acoustic baritone guitar...which just goes to show, you can read the manual all you want but sometimes the best way to learn is to jump on in and maybe make a fool of yourself in front of paying customers...
For those of you who have recently pointed out that my calendar has a lot of cobwebs and dust, let me say that I have just given it a good spring-clean and everything should be current for now. I will let you know when the new cd has been shrinkwrapped, and yes, gotta book that cd release show...

Hey y'all,
I am looking forward to a lighter gig schedule and hunkering down for some winter recording. I will still be at the End Of The Line Pub in Bridgetown every Wednesday hosting the Open Mic, and there are some Hupman Brothers gigs here and there, but I am hoping to get the second half of my next cd done (five songs tracked so far!) in the next couple months.
If I don't see you before, Happy Holidays and much thanks for the love and friendship of so many good people all around the world. Peace to all, Caleb

THE HUPMAN BROTHERS BAND will be playing two shows for the release of our new cd, LOVE SEAT (vol. 1). See you in Shelburne (Osprey Arts Center) November 20, and in Wolfville (Al Whittle Theatre) November 27!!
Also, thanks to everybody who came out for the Neil Young Birthday Tribute, and all the musicians who took part. Hearing a sold-out theatre stomping in unison for encores was quite the thrill!

Neil Young's 65th birthday is coming up on Friday, November 12. I will be presenting a tribute in celebration of the man's music on that day at the Al Whittle Theatre in Wolfville. Friends joining me onstage will be Kate Adams, Cathy Arsenault, Darrin Beaton, Heather Cameron, Mike Carroll, Ryan Hupman, Scott Hupman, Heather Kelday, Rick MacNab, Scott Prudence, and Harry Roberts!
Each performer will be doing an acoustic Neil tune in the first set (some solo, some in various conglomerations), then in the second set join the "Insane Ponies" (myself, Ryan, Scott and Mike) for some high octane electric jamming. Tickets are $15 at the door, night of show. I have a feeling this show is going to be a lot of fun, a really good night of music (look again at the roster!), and if we pack the house perhaps we can present more artist tributes in the future...recreate some classic albums...why not?
Hope to see you there! Contact me if you have any questions regarding the show (or just to say hello!)...peace!

Ahoy there...been very busy lately...laying tracks for the Hupman Brothers' next cd, rehearsing for Brian Chipman's blues band debut at the Old Orchard Inn on October 9, recording some songs for Christy Langille, playing drums for Dayliner, and getting psyched to start recording my next cd as soon as I get a stretch of spare time. Wood is stacked, and cool crisp autumn is here...I love it when the sunlight gets all slanty!
We put Titanic Proportions to rest with a farewell show at the End Of The Line Pub on September 17. I'd like to thank Mark, Alex, and Bob for the good times and good music, and wish them much fun and profit in their future endeavors. I should get each of you a copy of Tonight's The Night for Xmas...
...which brings me to a happy announcement: I will be presenting a Tribute To Neil Young in celebration of the man's 65th birthday on November 12 at the Al Whittle Theatre in Wolfville. So far we have an incredible line-up of local talent: Rick Macnab, Harvey Marcotte, Darrin Beaton, Heather Kelday, Scott Prudence, Ryan and Scott Hupman, and myself...we'll each be doing a solo acoustic number in the first set, then each doing a second set song with a full-on replica of Crazy Horse. I'll be keeping you posted as we get closer to November, but from here it looks like it's gonna be a rockin' good show.
