19 VIDEOS for COVID-19
March 19, 2020
It’s 03.19 at 3:19 pm… I’m sure we are all in similar boats of gigs being cancelled, not able to get to family or dearly loved ones as often as we like. These are definitely strange times, but I love symbols and patterns, and I noticed this one right away… the number 19. What an odd number to be associating this global challenge we are already in the full throws of with social distancing, etc… let’s hope it remains as just that.
In the meantime I want to make and share 19 videos with you… music, mostly… new compositions I’m working on, old favourites, and socially distant collaborations… So here we go! Let’s make the most of this time, regroup, practice kindness, self-care, and spread love not germs.
I hope you’re all staying safe, warm, keeping your minds and bodies strong, and hearts filled with video chats and furry snuggles… stay safe everyone.
Take care! —TK.
“This is for my community, for my friends, and for me. I see you, I hear you, I feel you. We all need art and music to survive, especially in these unprecedented times, so I want to share my art with you, even if it means singing from my balcony!”

I can't believe 19 Videos for COVID-19 have come and gone. We made it! I have been overwhelmed by the response from everyone who has watched these videos and also listened to me live. Thank you so, so very much for supporting me and sharing in the gift that live music brings all of us. You've opened my heart during these crazy times and I'm forever grateful. A big special thanks to Mel, Andrea Grant, Arlan Vriens, and Jorge Manzano for your teamwork, artistry, and enthusiasm to participate and support #19forCOVID19. I wish everyone lots of safety, peace, and creativity during the quarantine. And just so you know, this is not the end of me singing off my balcony or doing other musical things. I'm looking forward to trying out new creative ventures to share with you digitally in the coming weeks and months.
Sending you a big virtual hug! 🤗—TK.
