GW Rasberry, straying slightly from his Fireweed roots (remember Fireweed? a little like CSN, a lot less famous) recorded a solo project, Curving for the Coast in 2007. Much of the material, including the title track, was written while living in Australia. There are also performance pieces, hybrid songs, that capture Gary's crossover work as a poet and songwriter. Other songs represent collaborations with Rob Unger and James Campbell of Fireweed who, over the past decade, have played Mariposa, Hillside, Blue skies, Summerfolk, Stewart Park as well as the Peterborough and Ottawa Folk festivals. Gary has begun work on a long awaited/anticpated children/family record. The record will be called "What's the Big Idea??! Gary is doing an artist-in-residence at the Yarker Family School with the assistance of an Ontario Arts Council Grant. He'll be working with that fabulous crazy duo Sheesham & Lotus along with the recording/production expertise of Matt Rogalsky. Gary continues to teach songwriting workshops for Queen's Enrichment Studies.
