Alan’s Speaking Gigs

Welcome to the official page for my speaking gig. Over the past few years, I have been making the rounds and speaking at pubs, bars, studios, and theatres around Canada, the USA, Europe, and Asia.

These events are discussions with music fans in what I call “salons.” Because no two audiences are ever the same, each salon is completely different. And believe A long string of dates on my fall/winter speaking tour has begun. Here are all the latest dates.

These are free-wheelin’ discussions that always go off in a million different directions at once. Because no two audiences are ever the same, each salon is completely different–and I’ve done more than a hundred of these things. They run about two hours and are always a lot of fun.
