Rain, -38 degrees, Summer Festivals and Nashville

March is upon us and hopefully soon, so will spring! It’s pouring rain here today on Vancouver Island and about +5 degrees celcius. Unlike the rest of the country, especially in the prairies, a very cold -38 degrees celcius. Brrr……. I feel sorry for anyone in that weather. That’s why I moved!

Lots of exciting things have been happening for me this past month or so. I have been chosen to perform at some very big festivals this summer. Here they are:

July 1st – Magnificent Riverrats Festival Athabasca, Alberta
July 7th – Merritt Mountain Music Fest Merritt, BC
July 11th – Calgary Stampede – Window on the West Stage Calgary, Alberta
August 12th – Sunfest Duncan, BC

My tour for Alberta/BC is starting to take shape. I have more festivals and a concert announcement coming very soon and I can’t wait to tell you.

Plans for my next CD are under way. I have chosen at least four songs that will definitely be on the CD and I need a few more. I have chosen my producer, the studio and the place. Bart McKay (award winning Canadian producer) - Oceanway studio in Nashville. Once I have the finances all together, then I’m on my way. A life long dream for me.

I continue to be my own booking agent, manager, promoter, secretary, and some days I’m still able to fit singer/songwriter in there too. It’s a full time job but I’m lovin’ it.
