hello friends!!
it's time for an update!
i've spent the last few weeks working my way home, and most recently simmering under a (heavy) blanket of jet lag and re-acclimatization (who knew it was so dry in toronto)!? the flight dramas were kept to a minimum in this direction, which was lovely, and i was greeted by my mom (by surprise) on the home end, which was lovelier!
it's been great getting back into the swing of things here - 'not my dog mondays' with 'the ladies in waiting' (cindy doire, andrea ramolo, sarah fitzpatrick, sarah burton, and weekly special guests) in toronto is always a ball, and has been the last two mondays home. and then there was easter with the family....yum.
...and it's only been two weeks! the rest of may is full of goodies - this weekend i'll be heading back to sudbury for the NOMFA (Northern Ontario Music and Film Awards - I've been nominated for track 'ball of light'!) and a performance at the earth day festival. later in may i'll be kicking off the 'chasing the sun' canadian summer tour 2011 at the cameron house in toronto, which will take me all the way west and back (with a short jaunt to california) from june to september! lucky for us, the incredible aussie trio of roots/rock ladies - JUNGAL - are back to tour with me in bc/alberta over july/august!!
more detailed info below - including tour dates!!
looking forward to a HOT canadian summer (and seeing all of YOU)!
