I'm flying over to London in just over a week to play a show and also play a MIDEM, which is a conference that takes place in Cannes, France. No, it isn't the Cannes Film Festival. I am not that good.
At any rate, I'm extremely excited. Not excited for the chunnel between London and Paris though. I feel it is extremely unsafe to travel underwater through a giant scary dark tube.
Also have a few shows coming up in Toronto. One with my band, and I'll also be starting a monthly residency at the Press Club (Dundas/Bathurst) with Secret Heights. It'll be on the 2nd or 3rd Monday every month....

So, I'm pretty mad. I didn't see a single bear on my western tour. I saw lots of mountains (shriek!), I walked in the ocean in Vancouver and hung out at a cattle ranch in southern Alberta. Essentially, I had the best time ever.
The shows were really fun and I met tons of people and sold almost all the CDs I brought with me! If you don't have one yet, you can buy it on itunes or come see me at a show.
I think my favourite shows were in Vancouver and Winnipeg. I also loved the home-cooked Spanokopita in Thunder Bay. John and Kelly (who put me up in Calgary and Victoria) really deserve a shout...

So, in ten days, I'll be embarking on my first trip across the prairies and into the mountains. I've never ventured past the Manitoba-Ontario border so it should be interesting. My friend Scotty Mack and I will be meeting up in Thunder Bay and trucking it all the way to Victoria to find some cute whales and ride around on the ferry. Maybe I'll play some shows too. Actually I'll definitely play some shows. Here are the dates. I've also included some hometown shows on either end of the tour if you want to see me off or welcome me home.
Also I'm playing the Cameron House in Toronto this...

Why, hello!
I'm currently sitting in my living room with my beautiful canine, Ella The Worst, and basking in the afterglow of this weekend. I'll start at the beginning.
My album release party was set to happen on Friday night at This Ain't Hollywood. I was incredibly nervous, thinking no one would show up. I had just learned that Paley and Francis were going to open the show (for me? what?), and I was going a little crazy. They took the stage at 10:30 and essentially everyone I knew was in the bar and going wild. Afterward, the band and I played a really fun set, riddled with tuning issues...

Oh, hello there!
Welcome to my new and awe-inspiring website. It was built by capable hands and hopefully those hands will teach me how to update this weblog fairly regularly with all the happenings in my musical life.
The year is 2011. I am turning 25 in less than a month and also releasing three debut recordings. I'm excited about all of them but secretly, I *really* like my solo project because I get to sing and play whatever I want. I'm a hedonist. I also play with the Dinner Belles (my country outfit) and Secret Heights (a folk duo with my friend Cam Malcolm) and sometimes I back up my good...
