Aussie Tourin' - East Coast, Tassie and mooooore!

2011-12-12T20:49:00.000-08:00

G'day!

It's time to hit the road again....back in Australia!

I'll be kicking around these parts for a total of 6 months - until i return to home to Canada in April.

I've just wrapped up East Coast and Tasmania tours, and am home for a holiday rest in Melbourne...then off again - up the East Coast, over to Western Australia, and mooore!

I've squeezed into the van with good friends and AMAZING performers, The Rosie Bugess Band, from Melbourne up the coast to Brisbane and back, from November 23rd to Dec 5th. With only 2 days rest upon my return to Melbourne - I hopped onto the Spirit of Tasmania, over to the island for another short run with fabulous ladies you all know and love, Jungal!! We had a SUCH a great time!

I will be hitting the Hot Pants Festival over New Year's, and the East Coast again, with Jungal in January, as well. So if you missed me up the coast in Nov/Dec - I'll be seeing you soon! There is new territory to explore this time around, too - WA! I have heard such great things about the West Coast, so am super excited to check it out for Nannup Music Festival at the end of Feb ;)

It has been sooo wonderful to see so many familiar faces, already - i am looking forward to seeing the rest of you! My goodness, i do love this fine land.

I will be zipping all over the map over the months to come - with dates being added every week - so stay tuned on my site www.fayeblais.com, and youtube channel for live videos popping up www.youtube.com/fayeblais . Here are a list of the dates below - with a new full-band tour to be announced soon - keep checking in!!

Oh, and just in case you haven't seen it yet - check out the video clip for the Single off of my upcoming album - "The Ways I Love You", below!

Happy Holidays!

Australian Tour Dates, New Video, New Album and Canadian Summer Tour Re-cap!

2011-10-25T13:06:00.000-07:00

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,

August - Festival Month Recap!

2011-08-31T16:17:00.000-07:00

Helloooo!

Ahhh what a month!

August has been the third month of four on this huge Canadian Summer Tour....and what a month it's been.

It all kicked off with Arts Wells Festival in Wells, BC Canada - which i have been anticipating since my arrival back to the homeland for good, a few years ago. It lived up to all of the wonderful words i'd heard about it...and then some. I hit the fest with the Jungal ladies, who played as my backing band for my theatre set, the last of our stage-sharing before they flew back to Australia (except for Victoria, who is sticking around to finish up the tour with me on Bass). The show was overflowing with festival goers, nearly pitch black, with an incredible vibe - a performance i won't be forgetting anytime soon :) The same goes for pretty much every one of the performances I caught that weekend; Jesse Dee & Jacquie B, Scott Cook, Andrea Ramolo, Corin Raymond, Fish & Bird, and of course Jungal doing their thang.

The following weekend we headed to California - Oakland, for the Art & Soul Festival. We performed alongside a sweet lineup of incredible female artists' at the WomenGig Stage, including the Rosie Burgess Band (also fellow Australian friends!), Lia Rose, Sistas in the Pit, and an amazing solo performance by Vicki Martinez. Not only was the festival fantastic, but so too was the treatment we received over our 'working holiday' week in Oakland....bliss.

This past weekend named the last of our time in the Rockies this summer - Music on the Mountain, near Prince George, BC. In it's second year, the festival proved to have worked it's way into a growth spurt over the sleepy seasons - and came fully alive over the 3 days of impressive musical talent. Reunited again with good friends Jesse Dee & Jacquie B, Scott Cook, Andrea Ramolo and Sarah Burton - we joined each other on all of our sets to sing all of those choruses we know (and love!) so well....it was magical.

...and now for the homestretch!

It isn't over yet though - we still have a lot of miles on the Trans-Canada Highway to go, with loads of musical stops along thew way, including Field, Golden, Medicine Hat, Moosejaw, Regina, Winnipeg Harvest Moon Festival, Fort Francis, Thunder Bay (including Biindigaate Film Festival Gala!), Nippising and home to Toronto and Sudbury.

This summer has flown by - and been sweet with every step of the way. Though I'll be getting home just in time for Fall, I won't be staying long....as the Australian Summer rounds the bend - so too will my plane - off to Oz for another dose!

There are more videos, photos, and words from the road to come - all over this fine interweb. Keep watching the profile pages and keep in touch :)

Thank you again for all of your continued support - I can't tell you just how happy it makes me to continue doing what i love....everyday. So again, thank YOU!

Enjoy the changing of the seasons!
Cheers from the Rockies and eastward bound!

New Single/EP - "The Ways I Love You" is OUT!

2011-06-10T16:16:00.000-07:00

it's ready. it's here. and it's alllllll yours!!!!

i'm super excited to have hard copies to dish out - just in time for the mega-long canadian summer tour!! i literally left the big city (of Toronto) as soon as the records were ready - and hit the road north-west for Sudbury, the second date of the tour.

the single/EP is available on my website (for $7!) - www.fayeblais.com - and on itunes! it features 3 tracks:

1) "The Ways I Love You"
2) "Michelle" *music from the feature documentary "Return to Minomin"
3) "Simon" *music from the feature documentary "Return to Minomin"

there are some fabulous friends featured on this album - who were absolutely critical to this new release hitting the shelves - josh turnbull (producer, engineer, drums, vocals, bass and guitar), sj darling (vocals), shawn durek (mastering), and sivan agam ("the april maze", AUS - cello).

this little teaser also features two tracks written for the feature documentary film "Return to Minomin", another moving story - put forward by incredible aboriginal filmmaker michelle derosier. it was an absolute pleasure work (and connect) with michelle and the crew on this project.

amazingly, CBC has already picked the song up - on the first day of it's release in northern ontario - so spread the work and request away!

the song is up on my website for a listen - and featured on my youtube channel, with different versions from around the world - www.youtube.com/fayeblais

enjoy - and thank you so much for your support!!!
big hugs,

New Look, New Tour, New Music!!!

2011-05-27T18:47:00.000-07:00

hellooooo!

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!
f:)

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!

NOMFA awards, Earth Day and CANADA SUMMER TOUR DATES!!

2011-04-27T22:21:00.000-07:00

hello friends!!

it's time for an update!

i've spent the last few weeks working my way home, and most recently simmering under a (heavy) blanket of jet lag and re-acclimatization (who knew it was so dry in toronto)!? the flight dramas were kept to a minimum in this direction, which was lovely, and i was greeted by my mom (by surprise) on the home end, which was lovelier!

it's been great getting back into the swing of things here - 'not my dog mondays' with 'the ladies in waiting' (cindy doire, andrea ramolo, sarah fitzpatrick, sarah burton, and weekly special guests) in toronto is always a ball, and has been the last two mondays home. and then there was easter with the family....yum.

...and it's only been two weeks! the rest of may is full of goodies - this weekend i'll be heading back to sudbury for the NOMFA (Northern Ontario Music and Film Awards - I've been nominated for track 'ball of light'!) and a performance at the earth day festival. later in may i'll be kicking off the 'chasing the sun' canadian summer tour 2011 at the cameron house in toronto, which will take me all the way west and back (with a short jaunt to california) from june to september! lucky for us, the incredible aussie trio of roots/rock ladies - JUNGAL - are back to tour with me in bc/alberta over july/august!!

more detailed info below - including tour dates!!

looking forward to a HOT canadian summer (and seeing all of YOU)!

aus/nz recap, music videos, awards, and last melbourne show!

2011-04-04T01:04:00.000-07:00

helloooo!!!

wow, what a wild few months!

this past sunday was the official end to the epic australia & new zealand tour(s) with The April Maze and Jungal (well, there may be one more sneaky little farewell show here in melbourne....see below). it has been a fantastic journey, once again, here in the warmth. as always, i've documented the bulk of it, and narrowed it down into snug little videoblogs for you - so you can sit back, and youtube your face off. hehe. and just to top it all off, the 'ball of light' music video is OUT! so you might as well grab a bowl of popcorn too ;) perfect timing as well, as i've just been nominated for this very song, at this year's 2011 NOMFA awards (yay!), which will be held in my super little hometown of Sudbury, Ontario (Canada) at the end of April.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of you here in australia & new zealand who have been so incredibly supportive, in so many ways. your kindness and open-heartedness/armness (hehe) keeps me coming back for more (....already planning my return!). thank you for making me feel so at home, so far from home.

only one week left to enjoy the australian sun, then, it's touring time again....in canada - from east to west over june-september, with loads of toronto gig-fun before i go! will keep you posted on the upcoming shows - and the next australia/new zealand tour ;)

here's to chasing the sun!!!!!
CHEERS!
f:)

last melbourne show

i'll be playing one more little show THIS THURSDAY at one of my favorite spots here in melbourne - Pure Pop Records, in St Kilda. i used to catch amazing shows in their sneaky back courtyard/cafe/bar when i lived in the area and have been hooked ever since, so it only makes sense to wrap things up in style - laid-back-solo style.
here are the details:

Thursday, April 7th
Pure Pop Records
222 Barkly St, St Kilda
6pm - FREE
*this will be my last performance on this side of the word until next time.....!

aus/nz tour recap - videoblogs

2010-12-18T23:36:00.000-08:00

hello friends!

happy holidays!

it's almost touring time again! this time, i'm ditching the fluffy outerwear for some flip-flops and a palm full of suntan lotion - to the other side. eeeeee!

i'll be touring australia & new zealand with wonderful melbourne-duo, the april maze (www.theaprilmaze.com). we've shared many-a-show when i lived in melbourne and toured new zealand together in 2009. magical things seem to happen every time we find ourselves in the same room/van/stage. so this time, as with the last few canadian tours, i'm going to document it - for you! make sure to keep checking in on my sites and youtube channel for the tour videoblogs - and all that fun in the sun!

to kick things off - here's a quirky lil vid to announce the tour date -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y055uAD9-rM

the dates are now up and out - so make sure to pass them along and write them down on your calendar. i look forward to seeing so many of you aussies and kiwis - it's been a year and a half since i've seen you last!! wow, time flies.

before i go, here is a free download of "momsong" (link below), which is unreleased. it was recorded in australia before i left in july 2009.

thank you all so much for your continued support and smiley faces. i hope your holidays are filled with love and laughter all around.

it's almost time for me to take (long) flight!!! i'll speak to you soon from the other side of the globe (and see some of you sooner!)!

big hugs from chilly toronto,

heya friends!

i've missed you! it's been an incredible summer season, jam-packed with good times and good music all the way across the country....i think it's time i fill you in. yes? yes.

firstly, i should mention that some of the best moments, and the overall awesomeness of Summer Tour 2010 are squeezed into tiny frames - in videoblog form on youtube ;) here are the links, quickly:

Summer Tour - videoblog #1

Summer Tour - videoblog #2

Summer Tour - videoblog #3

i'm still hoping to get one more video out to you, which will sum up the final two portions of the epic journey. but i think these three will be a big enough bite-size of stimulation, for now ;) they are highlights of the first five weeks of tour - from toronto to vancouver, with the incredible australian trio - jungal (www.jungalmusic.com), who happen to be some of the funniest, most talented and just plain 'ole lovely ladies you'll ever meet. the second part of the tour, squished in the middle, was spent on vancouver island, rolling around in an old VW van with one of my favorite new canadian songwriters (and her glorious violin player), o'mally (www.omallymusic.com). and the third -- the perfect ending to an overwhelming touring experience -- was headed eastward, with the low flying planes (www.myspace.com/thelowflyingplanes), from edmonton, and miss jacquie b supporting me on accordion and vocals (you may remember her from the cherry pickin' tour) - who equally blew my heart and mind with their fabulousness.

oh, what a season. i'll leave the details for you to scope out on youtube - there are more lil vids for you there - www.youtube.com/fayeblais (enjoy!).

coming up: two fall mini tours in october before i retreat into major hibernation (writiing!) zone to prepare for a winter.....in the sun! i will keep you on the edge of your seat for more news of upcoming (sunny!) tours during canadian cold months....muhahaha.

until then - here are the details of october tourin' in ontario....

will write again soon!

big hugs from my cozy abode,

----indie week - finalist!----

this past weekend was spent running around toronto, moving up the slots into the finals at this year's INDIE WEEK INTERNATIONAL here in toronto. it was a total trip. i was lucky enough to be joined by the lovely josh turnbull on percussion and sj darling on backup vocals...aaaand, miss jacquie b on accordion and vocals - as she just happened to be troubadourin' her way through the city on her own tour with jesse dee!

we played our last showcase with the top 10 bands of the week - at the INDIE WEEK FINALS at toronto's "tatoo rock parlour" on queen st west. though we didn't win, we had an incredible time playing for the hefty judge panels and being part of all the glitz and glamour. it was a pretty funny time to be a folk bunch, i must say. hahaha - but we giggled our way through it.
