I’m sitting in a beautiful cottage in the wilds of Essex with my dear friend and musical partner for the next few weeks, the lovely Bella Hardy.  We’re about to embark on a collaborative tour and are working up material for the sets.  Taking a bit of time tonight to write our mailouts and check […]

As I write this, the snow is (still) glistening white, and I can’t see my car.  I keep thinking someone has stolen it, but it’s where I left it, behind that MASSIVE snowbank in front of my friend’s house.  Oh spring, where are you? There’s no better time to go on a Western Canadian Tour […]

It’s a New Year, and I’m anxious for positive change,  new life, new growth, new ideas, new songs.  2013 was a tumultuous year for me, one that had me uprooted and ungrounded, living out of my suitcase even when off the road, one that had me disconnected from my home & community, mainly because I […]

Everyone loves a Top Ten list, and while on this most recent 5 week European tour I kept thinking about how lucky I am to spend so much time overseas.  I realized that I will have spent over 4 months this year in Europe.  Crazy…  There are a lot of things I don’t like about […]

What a summer.  It was full on, a wonderful two months, and an incredibly busy and exhausting time.  I met some amazing folks, reconnected with dear friends, performed my heart out and taught a LOT!  My School of Rock class has been garnering lots of interest, and I was delighted to have so many students […]

What a spectacular tour it was in Europe, albeit a marathon one… Thirty shows and now I’m ready to sleep for a month.  I am honoured that there were several amazing live show reviews, and more incredible album reviews keep pouring in (including a review with NO DEPRESSION, the largest online source for North American roots […]

I’m writing this sitting in my friends’ beautiful home in North Wales, overlooking rolling green hills covered in sunshine, the air full of the sound of birds, bleating sheep and lambs.  When the sun shines in the UK, there’s no more beautiful place  🙂  I’m happy to be back in the UK, and am looking […]

Wow, I’m extremely excited to share some fabulous news with you all: four of my newest songs are semi-finalists in the International Songwriting Competition!  What a ray of light this is for me, I’m truly honoured.  Three of the songs are co-writes with two very close friends:  Karla Anderson from Edmonton, AB and Lewis Melville […]

Time has been flying by… Summer was full and wonderful, as was the fall. I recently returned home from a stretch that had me playing in 5 provinces and 2 States, with plenty of flights and car travel taking me to and fro. At one point I thought my butt was going to turn to […]

Wow, it’s been an AMAZING past few months!  May saw me doing some shows out West (BC & AB), taking part in a recording project at Mt Engadine Lodge with 5 other singer-songwriters, then heading across the pond for a 6 week tour in the UK (including a performance in Trafalgar Square on Canada Day!), […]

Wow, what a wonderfully exhausting past 3 months it has been. I found myself driving more than I have in quite some time, playing for brand new audiences, finally dipping down into the States for some shows after a long absence, and then finalizing all the details for the new album. I am excited to […]

Happy New Year folks!  If you didn’t get a smooch when the clock struck midnight (or if you were fast asleep) here’s one for you  🙂 This year promises to be a good and busy one.  I hope it has started off on a good note for all of you.  The new album comes out […]
