hellooooo!
with just a short family-tme break under my belt, i'm off again! back to australia this time...today! my flight leaves in a few hours out of toronto....eee!
this past summer of touring was an absolute blast. it kicked off on may 28th westward, fromtoronto to victoria, down to california and back eastward, until we returned home to toronto on september 25th. i know. that is a loooong time. so many shows, festivals, and fun in those 4 months - what a summer!
my time "home" consisted of only a few days in toronto before heading north to sudbury withJosh Turnbull and his studio, to record my new album! we hit my family's cabin on the lake, where i've spent the majority of my summers growing up, for 7 days of musical lock-down. the stars aligned for some very special guests to drop-in - the songs are sounding VERY exciting!!! i don't want to give too much away....just yet...so will keep you at the edge of your seat. but a little teaser: YOU will certainly be the first to know! so keep in touch - (i'm planning a pre-release cyber-party and want you to come ;))
following the cabin sessions, i spent some much needed time with my family (and new nephew!), and enjoyed the changing of the seasons, and just enough cool breezin' to send me on my way.
oh - and i also filmed a music video for "The Ways I Love You" with north bay's Patrick Gilbert!! the video is up as of today! see the link below.
and now back to aus - for six months of touring touring touring (and more sunshine!). i'll be hitting the road this time, with a slew of aussie musos, including those you remember well - "Jungal" and "The Rosie Burgess Band". dates and words from the road will be updated on my website along the way - at www.fayeblais.com .
keep in touch - so many things are bubbling over in the months to come!
hugs and snugs,
