Alone with an Update

Howdy Friends!

Wow, what a month. Is it just me or does it seem like there are not enough hours in the day lately to get everything done?

With less than three weeks until I leave for my six months of touring across Canada, I must report that I am currently overwhelmed with all that I have to get done before I head out of Victoria!

It's been a crazy juggling act of trying to manage a full-time waitressing job while heading to Seattle on my days off to work on Ableton Live. I've also been taking guitar lessons, working on getting my car repaired and focusing on the remaining touring details whenever I have a free moment. Us artists have to wear so many hats. I wonder...When will I ever find time to play some music? I am exhausted but remain optimistic and excited as there's so much to look forward to.

Imagine an old boat of a car with three lovely ladies and many instruments, traveling across our gigantic country. Pretty soon Calgary's Danielle French and Toronto's Karen Kosowski will be joining me for the first part of my tour. We'll be starting in Vancouver and heading in my '91 Buick Century to Toronto, touring the entire way. Am I ever looking forward to sharing shows with these two remarkable women. We've put all of our passion into booking and organizing some really fun shows at some fantastic venues. There will be many guest musicians joining us on many stages and I'm really looking forward to meeting up with old friends.

I better get back to it but before I go, here's a special treat for you. Victoria filmmaker Scott Amos wowed me with another short film called, "Alone." I wrote and recorded some music to it this morning before rushing off to work. Enjoy!
