Let’s be honest: music consumption today is all about the quick hit. Algorithms—those psychologically-tuned shuffle buttons—serve up instant dopamine. Singles rule. Playlists splice together moods like digital patchwork quilts. And yet… here we are. Still making albums. Not because we’re stuck in the past. Not to be contrarian for the sake of it. We do it because for us, the album is the only format that lets us do what we’re here to do: explore…

Snowbanks still think it’s winter, but we’re calling it: spring is here. Guitars slung, heads high, elbows up — ready to shove the season into motion with a grin and a riff. At SixFootStilts, this April feels like a crossroads — or maybe a slingshot. We’re shaking off winter’s last stubborn cling and hurtling headfirst into the wild chaos of closing one album while scheming the next. Right now, we’re deep in the messy magic:…

Where does inspiration come from? Do we create it—or does it find us? Lately, I’ve been thinking about that—especially as we work through the creative process for our upcoming album exploring the mystical and the hidden. It’s opened my mind to the idea that inspiration might not live inside us at all. Maybe it’s out there, floating in the ether, waiting for someone to catch it. Keith Richards once said: ‘I don’t write songs. I…

I remember growing up in the GTA when winter seemed to arrive much earlier than it does now. Back then, by mid-November, the snow had already settled in, and a White Christmas was practically guaranteed. These days, while the cold starts creeping in around November, the real snow doesn’t seem to arrive until mid-January. This year was no exception—January hit us with a deep freeze courtesy of a polar vortex, and February followed up with…

This winter wasn’t too bad—until the Polar Vortex hit us this past weekend. Now it’s downright freezing—brrr! At least we can take comfort in being one-third of the way through the season. Usually, winter means fewer activities and social commitments, and this year’s “dry January” has been the easiest yet (I think we’re in our fifth year now). All that extra time at home has been great for studio work—creating new music and preparing our…

This past Thursday, Sly, Lote, and I met at GreenGrove Studio for the final creative review of our latest album, OMG. As noted previously, this album is themed around the Greek pantheon. This time, Sly shook up our usual review process. Two weeks prior to meeting, he suggested that we each independently review the vocals for all the songs and critique or suggest improvements. This gave him and Lote time to make adjustments before our in-person…

Hello there, fellow Stilters! It’s time for another update, and we’re excited to share a little bit about our upcoming album, “OMG”. As the name suggests, this new project celebrates the Greek Pantheon—those ancient gods and goddesses whose stories continue to captivate us all. In true SixFootStilts fashion, we’re exploring these ancient mythical legends with a modern twist in a way that’s both unique and engaging. For the last 8 years we’ve partnered together with…

Last weekend at Fox’s Den, nestled in the rugged beauty of the Algonquin Highlands, we found ourselves right where we needed to be—immersed in the elements and the music. The cold, rainy weather set the perfect mood for diving deep into the final touches of our latest album, Say What?. We had a couple of intense, focused sessions where we dissected each song, making adjustments and fine-tuning along the way. Our creative process often has us…
