the seasons are swapping and change is in the air....and luckily it's getting warmer this time of year, here in canada. i'm feeling like somewhat of a season bandit with all of this hot-weather-hopping, so figured i'd go with 'chasing the sun' tour titling this summer. seemed fitting!
here are the details of the new look, new tour, and new music (yay!) below...
thank you so much for reading, sharing and keeping up to date with the comings-and-goings of this musical journey!
hope to see you this summer!

new look
following a lovely photoshoot with one of my favorite photographers and good friend lilly waters (www.lilliwaters.com), a new look is sweeping across all of my profiles - including a seeerious website facelift to match. so check it out - www.fayeblais.com and let me know what you think! i've dropped a new selection of photos in there, too :)
new tour
the tour will kick off tomorrow (saturday!) at The Cameron House, in Toronto, then take me to my lovely lil hometown of Sudbury, to the Fromagerie on Thursday, June 2nd (limited tix - avail at the venue now!)....and onward westward...for four months of touring, to the coast - with a little skip over to California -- and back. *breath.
i cannot wait to hit the road again, here at home - and am even more excited to share another two months of summer touring with the fabulous female trio you all know and love - 'Jungal' (see www.youtube.com/fayeblais for our infamous videoblogs from last summer's canadian tour!) - who are returning to double-bill July and August with me, and play as my backing band. for the lengthy bookend journeys (June & September), i'll be performing as a duo, with 'Jungal's wonderful bass player Victoria Beard! yipee!!
tour dates below!
new music
aaaaand - to top it all off, i'll be releasing the new single "The Ways I Love You", in hard copy form - so you can keep it with you when i whisk away (only to return again, of course)! aaaaaaaaaaaaaand, the single will feature two bonus tracks - songs featured on the upcoming canadian aboriginal documentary "return to minomin", directed by the amazing Michelle Derosier (Thunder Bay, ON), which will be released this summer, just in time :)
(check out a video of the song, recorded in February 2011 in Australia, while on tour with The April Maze - Faye Blais (feat. April Maze) - The Ways I Love You)
i'm really excited about this new music, tour and website - and even more excited to see so many of you again, under the sun!
please pass these dates along - and mark them down on your calendar....and i'll see you soon!
