Hellooooo!!!!
Welcome to the mailing list!! Lovely to meet you in these past few weeks - here's your first update from me ;)
It's been quite a while since my last update - so HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope your holiday season was filled with cheer, goodness, friends & family and all that jazz!
I had a wonderful break leading up to the holiday season in Canada, and am now geared-up in full touring-force here in Australia (& NZ!) - much to report!
This Australian Tour has been incredible so far (with the wonderful Genevieve Chadwick), and we've only just begun. January is behind us, but loads of dates are up for February and March - with our final April Tour to be announced in the next couple of weeks. Aaaaand, this just in: you are the FIRST to see the New Zealand Tour Dates!! I will be touring NZ as a duo, with Victoria Beard (from Jungal) on bass (yay!)! So excited to return to that fine piece of land.....ah.
Back in Canada, much is buzzing with the upcoming release of our Ladies in Waiting Collective compilation "Lovesick", launching at the Lula Lounge on Tuesday, February 12th in Toronto (that's next week!)! Unfortunately, I won't be there in body, but most certainly in spirit - and song, as the ladies will be covering a short set of my tunes ("awwwwww!"). Tickets are selling fast - so make sure you grab some, and dinner too for a little pre-Valentine's Day celebration, if you're in Toronto next week (you can buy tix - and the album - here - www.LIWcollective.com - check out our fun little promo vid for the show here!)
I've also just released a BRAND NEW MUSIC VIDEO today!!! The official vid for "The Pursuit" is up and out - so make sure you have a look. It was filmed in my hometown of Sudbury in June, just before the Canadian Summer Tour with a fabulous team of incredibly talented individuals - so much fun! (Spoiler Alert: We built that set in my friend's basement, downtown Sudbury...hehe - loved every minute of it!).
That was quite a screenful, so i'll leave you to the details below. Stay connected for more news in the days to come!!!
Big hugs and love,
