April 24, 2005
Winnipeg, MB

Have been hangin' in the Peg for a couple days with my good pal Trevor Mills. Thank the gods for Winnipeg- a grand oasis of glorious folks (and such great musicians!) smack dab in the middle of the long Canadian nowhere-ness... A haven for the girl that's been driving and driving for days... about to go truly and officially insane. Heading into the Ontario northlands for many days of driving yet.... dreaming of my soft bed at the end of the rainbow.

April 16, 2004
Sudbury, ON

After a big lonnnng drive 'cross my home and native land I am settled for a few days in the Big Nickel. Have been kickin' it up with my darling Darlene and dear pal Carrie who has been gracious enough to house this travelling wayfaring songstress... The time here has been extremely creatively productive and Dar and I have been practicing our sword and hoop dance (among other performatory extravaganzas...) And have had many a video and photo shoot to boot. Filmmaker Peter Zwarich took some insane footage of me doin' my sword thang and edited it together with some footage from last night's gig at the Townehouse. It's worth checking out, man. Click on the link below... (Don't forget to download and updated version of Quicktime first.. or it won't work!) As well, masterful Sudbury photographer David Wiewel was so kind as to snap a ton of mind blowing images of all the action. You'll notice his photos all over this page, but click on the links to see more...

Can't believe I'm finally back in Ontario... It's been 22,000 kms of true glory.

Thanks Universe for protecting me all the way!

Welcome home Sweetyland.

Edmonton, AB

I love Edmonton. Have already been here for a week and I'm just not ready to leave yet! Rolled into town on March 27th to play a house concert at Bill Bourne's place. Bill and his partner Tanja just moved into a gorgeous house near downtown Edmonton they're calling it"The Beach House" and are beginning a house concert series there. Yay for that! So I got to come be the inaugural house concert performer for what ended up also being their housewarming party- and Bill's 50th birthday party! Felt so lucky to be a part. Since then I've had some great gigs with Bill around and about not to mention the Junos were in town this weekend so there have been much festivities pertaining to that. I had a Junofest gig on Friday night that will go down in history as one of the most memorable gigs of my life EVER. The Northern Lights Folk Club sponsored two nights of Junofest performances at The Masonic Temple and I got to play in the Masonic Inner Lodge Room. There was the big checker board floor with the star in the middle and the big thrones and everything. I mean, how many times in her life does a girl get to perform in an inner sanctum, man? And it sounded sooo beautiful. Counting my blessings as we speaketh... This tour has really been the best ever. And that's saying a lot. And more adventures yet to come! talk soon...

love,
Lady K
