Winter, West, What’s next…
I’m a little late on the New Years wishing, but nonetheless, I wish you all a wonderful 2017. 2016 was truly a year of remembering who I am, on my own and amid a crowd, and withdrawing into myself so I can reset, renew, re-engage with my creative world. As I sit here writing this, […]
God Speed, Ron Hynes…
I had the most wonderful time at the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival in Nova Scotia. I was there with the Eastern Belles and I was struck again by how truly this is a folk festival. The audience loves old folk songs, loves to engage and sing along and also is genuinely interested in each act […]
Pies, Small halls, and Habitat…
Father’s Day Pie Off and Musical Extravaganza! It’s been a rainy last little while, but I KNOW the sun will come back into our hearts and onto our skin and dry things out enough for the Pie Off on Sunday. My annual Pie Off and Musical Extravaganza […]

Eastern Belles, New Dates & Woodpiles
So it has been one crazy year since I last posted, so I feel like I should give you some updates. I was nominated for 2 Junos and won 1 for Roots Album of the year, which is not news to anyone really at this point. I have to say, though, that it really meant […]
Let’s Talk, Juno Nods, Touring…
Hello everyone, It has been a busy last little while for me, plus a very snowy time. Finally winter is here in her full majesty! Today is Bell Let’s Talk Day – a campaign in support of mental illness and aimed at ending the stigma that surrounds it. By accident (or not so much), I […]
