Last night I performed at the Jack Richardson Music Awards here in London and enjoyed myself immensely! Thanks so much to the "Jacks" team for putting on an amazing show! I managed to seriously entertain myself backstage by taking some self-portraits to add to my never-ending series... take a peek below

Backstage at the "Jacks"... more photos.

Hello Kittens, HAPPY SPRING! The sun is finally a shinin' in beautiful Toronto, although it still seems to be a bit nippy out there in the frozen department. I suppose the thaw will come eventually and there's not too much we can do to stop it... What are you all doing today? I'm thinking a nice stroll might be in order followed by a minor amount of responsible shopping and then my flamenco dance class at 5:30. The moment of Equinox is at 8:07pm EST this evening and I will SO need to be having as toast to the end of a sweet and intense winter and the beginning of the glory of the great new season.

Happy melting,

Happy St. Patty's Day all... I had an incredible night tonight (green beer-free!) playing with Bill Bourne at the Harbourfront Centre here in Toronto. It was my first real adventure playing in someone else's band and I LOVED it. There will be more of that to come in the future for sure... Ended the night a fine wee hotel party overlooking the Toronto harbour... self portrait from hotel window above. nighty-night xx

Ladies and gents, am fresh from my adventures to Memphis for the 2007 Folk Alliance Conference. For those of you who do not know, the yearly F/A conference brings together a wild collection of musicians, presenters and general music-biz types under one roof for five days of pure insanity. Had a record amount of fun this year, mostly due the amazingness of my fellow Little Red Hen Music artists who I love so dear. We put on an incredible show over 3 days and 3 nights in our LRH showcase room and THANK YOU so much to all who participated and helped to make it happen.

Currently I'm in North Carolina visting my best friend Jenny and her husband Chuck Brodsky in their gorgeous new home. Resting up from all the fun and trying to stave off a wee bout of what I'm calling "the post-afolkalyptic plague".... a nasty little cold that is not welcome. Must be healthy and heal quickly as there is much work to be done! Back in Ontario and back in the studio soon... Stay tuned. xo KS

Hello gentle readers, just a quick note to let you know that I am well... Busy busy busy is the way of me and I'm preparing to hit the road to Memphis tomorrow! Ohhh Yeah! Going to hook up with my Little Red Hen compadres at the Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis, TN to cause all kinds of fine trouble. Cluck yeah!

All is extremely well on the new-album front and things are progressing quickly! Back in the studio again upon my return in March and will then be having various guests come in to play on the album... such fine folk include the likes of Suzie Vinnick, Stephen Fearing, flamenco guitarist Jorge Miguel and some other very exciting surprises! 

Till soon, xo K
 

Come join the Little Red Hen Hooteneanny at Folk Alliance 07!

I was interviewed this morning by Shelagh Rogers on CBC Radio's national morning show "Sounds Like Canada." The topic was weird winter weather and I told the story that inspired my new song "Gone Gone Gone" (from the upcoming new CD!) I explained how a very strange adventure on the Trans-Canada highway somewhere west of Ignace not only inspired the song, but also gave me the opportunity to take the photograph above -from my ongoing self-portrait series- this one I titled "My Own Private Ontario." And as for the story, I will tell it again one day, to be sure...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

In this glorious coming year of Two Thousand and Heaven I pledge to: write more frequent and more juicy tidbits in my journal/blog, make a kick-ass new album that I will be so very proud of, keep working hard like a busy Sweetland bee and of course, eat more chocolate.
