Busy Summer, Busy Fall… Vacation Anyone? 0
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 take the class this summer. Now I’m gearing up for a very busy autumn touring schedule and I’m already starting to think about taking a sabbatical. Whew. I’m currently working up some songs and co-writing a bit with a fabulous English artist named Bella Hardy. We are doing some shows together in Western Canada, as well as a showcase in Calgary, and we’re both looking forward to it. Then I head off to Europe again (twice in one year!) to take part in a collective tour with two other great Canadian artists – Awna Teixeira and Brandy Zdan. We’ll be doing shows in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany. Then I’m taking a breather, to sleep and recoup and work on new material for my next album project (slated to record next spring!). And I need to find a home. More on that as time goes on… In the meantime, here’s hoping I get to see a bunch of you out at a show! Here’s the upcoming tour schedule:
