LIFE IS LIKE A BOWL OF CHERRIES
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!!

Cherry Pickin' with some of my favorite chicks!
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!
My favorite Edmontonians come to town!
Jesse Dee & Jacquie B are a wonderful soul-ful duo full of energy and love, and they're coming to Toronto and Montreal this month for the first time EVER! Also with us will be our good friend, ory no'man. Mark your calendars, see you there!

Rivoli, Opera House, Hello Toronto!
The Spirits and Flowers tour was a huge success!! Although it's good to be home and sleeping in my very own bed, I find myself still reminiscing of all the great shows, adventures and summer-time splendor we got. We met so many wonderful people along the way and this country just seems to get better and better each time I cross it. A HUGE thank-you to all the lovely people who opened their arms to us and helped to make this tour the best one yet! I miss you already!!
While were on tour, I recorded a pod-cast with Paulie from DigiVegas radio, down south. Have a listen, and check out some of their other podcasts, it's a great station!

As the last few weeks of summer sun begin to slip away and the nights begin early, I have a lot of things going on, including printing a new edition of my EP Mayflower, and gearing up for some amazing shows!
Friday September 11th is going to be a great night at the Rivoli. Joined by the full tour crew, we will be riding the last high of the summer. Please come out and stomp your feet! Joining us that night will be two great bands from the GTA - Scott Normandy and Canteen Knockout.
