Byron Bay Bluesfest + New Zealand & FINAL Australian Tour Dates + CANADA!


Hellooooo!!


How are you?  It's been too long...!

I'm just writing you with a little update - and some more tour dates and announcements, of course!!! more, more, more...no rest for the wicked. 

It all begins tomorrow - with a flight to Brisbane, a bus to Byron and Bluesfest for 4 days! I can't believe it. Seriously?! Rubbing shoulders (*manifesting) with Paul SimonRobert PlantBonnie RaittJoan ArmatradingBen HarperCounting CrowsThe Cat EmpireManu ChaoRufus Wainwright, and soooo many more....backstage! It's all too much. (I promise to report - so keep in touch on facebook, instagram, twitter and all that jazz.) The reason for this incredible opportunity, is that i'll be accompanying the fabulous Genevieve Chadwick for her performances - as we kick off the last leg of our - what has been an - epic Australian Tour over Summer 2013. This is it. We've put together a final string of special shows, which will all wrap up in Melbourne at the Retreat for a BIG ONE: my last Australian show, Gen's birthday, and a triple-bill with Jungal to rock out the night!!! YEAH - what a finish. I can't wait (not that i'm rushing anything... ;)). Check out the dates below - and on my website (www.fayeblais.com).

But before we really get into the swing of it - I will be making a return trip to New Zealand, to tour as a duo (with the lovely Victoria Beard from Jungal). I cannot wait to get back to that beautiful land - and see some smiley, friendly, familiar faces. This tour has shaped up to be a lovely week of intimate, community-based shows (my favourite) - and I just can't wait to connect. I've listed next week's NZ dates below - so please do pass them on to any Kiwis in your good books ;)

Then it's back home to Canada. 

And what better way to arrive then playing a show with my favourite ladies: The Ladies in Waiting. So exciting. We're still in the midst of announcing the show - so there are many 'a detail to come about it - but I wanted you to be the first to know :) So, save the date: May 29th - Lula Lounge, Toronto.

Plans for the Canada & USA Summer Tour are coming along beautifully for August & September 2013 - but i will leave you with that thought for now, at the risk of overloading you just before a big holiday weekend. We'll leave room for tofurkey.

Oh - and just one more thing: in case you haven't yet - pre-purchase one of Jungal's albums (they're making a new one - check out their cute lil vid here!)!!

Ok, I'm done. 

Big hugs and love and holiday cheer to you, 
Happy long weekend,
