Triple J, CBC Radio, NOMFA Awards, and Tour News!!

HELLO!!!

Loads of fun news in this email...!

Since i've written you last - the NEW ALBUM has arrived - and been shipped out to those of you who supported it's making and pre-purchased your own copies (thanks again!)!  Some of you have now purchased them at my shows along the way....they're getting out there!  ...In more ways than one, actually - on both sides of the planet: in Australia, Triple J has spun the new single "The Pursuit", and back home in Canada, CBC Radio has been doing the same. Amazing. Some action already, and the album hasn't officially been released yet (it will be available everywhere in May). Thank you so much for spreading the word :)

In other news - I have been nominated for another NOMFA Award this year (Northern Ontario Music and Film Awards) in Canada - for "Best Vocal Performance" on the first released Single "The Ways I Love You". For those of you living in and around Sudbury, Ontario - you can attend the Awards Ceremony on Saturday, April 28th, 2012 (get your tix at www.thinknorth.ca). I've scoped out the other nominees (both in Film and Music) - and they're amazing - it's going to be an incredible event!! Dave Clement, was nominated for "Best Cinematographer" for "Return to Manomin", Michelle Derosier's Native Canadian documentary film, which I wrote music for last year!! Also grrrreat news :)

More fun stuff...I have given my website a facelift - new look for the new album - check it out - www.fayeblais.com (note: you may need to refresh your browser :)).

So that's the quick update...I'm still on the road down the East Coast of Australia - the final week of this six month stint over here on this side (see upcoming dates below)......it won't be long before I'm back in Canada - launching the new album at home (psssst.....JUNE!). Keep up on the feeds on my profiles....dates coming soon... :)

Thank you, again, so much for your support and kind words - it keeps me going, and keeps me smiling! I can't tell you how grateful I am to be singing my way through the days....

hugs and snugs,
