So the sweaty season is upon us and I'm happy to be back in the mountains surrounded by an overwhelming number of talented musicians and artists. Here at Artswells festival in Wells, BC, we have stepped into a dreamland of bright colors, beautiful skies and nonstop treats for our ears!

... bring Mayflowers, and after carefully tending and watering my musical garden, I have finally put together my first full-length album: MAYFLOWER. 

This collection of travelling and love songs was produced by Andre Skinner from Canteen Knockout, and features the musical stylings of Andre Skinner, Olesh Maksymiw, Matt Blackie, Grady Kelneck, and boasts several sweet special guests! 

You can already get this new album on iTunes, Amazon, and all the regular online outlets, but I recommend the hardcopy -- complete with lyric book!!

For Toronto area folks, I hope to see you all at my CD release! We'll be celebrating in style at the Cadillac Lounge, on May 27th. Gavin Slate, a fantastic solo acoustic artist/songwriter will be opening the night, followed by yours truly with full band. The night will close out with a super jam, hosted by Canteen Knockout, and featuring many special guests, including, Vancouver's Joel Battle, Maia Davies (of Ladies of the Canyon), Faye Blais, and more! 

So, REMEMBER:

sweet delicious cherries... 

Faye and I have completed the home-base part of our Cherry Pickin' Tour, and we're now on our way to pick up our accomplice, Jacquie B, in Edmonton. We had an amazing time in London, Peterborough, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, and now we're at our next venue -- the train. Via Rail has so far been an amazing experience. We are surrounded by lovely people who all share the same desire to see the country the old fashioned way. Taking the train across the country is a dream come true for me and I'm basking in it!

The Cherry Pickin' Schedule is now packed, and we're excited for a busy month and a half. The cameras are a rolling and the words are a flowing, so be sure to check in with us every few days for new video blogs and updates. For a full list of dates check the shows page, and for updates from the road, please check in with us on facebook, myspace and youtube. 

Until we hit your town, here's wishing you warmth, wellness and fruitful experiences!!

A new year is about to begin and I'm so excited to announce a new tour, to begin very soon in January!

Starting out at home in Ontario with Faye Blais, we will be playing a few shows to get things started, before we hop on the train to serenade the lovely passengers on the Westward Via Rail train. Making stops in Winninpeg and Saskatoon, this train will take us to Edmonton where the lovely Jacquie B will be joining us on backup vocals and accordion for the rest of the tour!

Our little triad of musical ladies will be hitting lots of places in Alberta and BC, before we head down to California, to get a little warmth and play a few shows, sharing our Canadiana love with our American friends. Check the shows page to see if we'll be in your town, and hopefully we can raise a glass together! The last of the details will be ironed out shortly, so stay tuned for an update!!

All the best for a happy and healthy 2010 and hope to see you on our Cherry Pickin' tour!
