Motel Matchbooks

Thirty days. One tour. A continent of dive bars, back rooms, sketchy motels, and stories that blur somewhere between insanity and legend.

Motel Matchbooks follows a Canadian songwriter chasing gigs across North America—through late-night highways, last-call confessions, questionable parking lots, and the strange, unforgettable characters that live just off the main road. It’s a world of cheap beer, broken strings, unexpected kindness, and the kind of chaos you only find when you refuse to go straight home.

Written with grit, humour, and a sharp outsider’s eye, this is more than a tour diary. It’s a reflection on music, survival, and the beautiful, unhinged rhythm of aging and life on the road.

If you’ve ever closed down a bar, chased a dream past reason, or found meaning somewhere between the miles—this story is for you.

It’s official — Motel Matchbooks is out in the world.

You can grab it on Amazon, Indigo online, or order it through your favourite local bookstore anywhere in the world via IngramSpark Distribution.
