Mes Amis,

A million apologies for not being more in touch ... I will so make it up to you. Retroactive tales of Sweetland are coming soon! These tales involve, a giant tank, a mysterious barn, a massive guitar, a pleasure cruise, a sailor suit, a cherry pie and of course, a video camera.

In the meantime, feast your unsuspecting eyeballs upon my first video blog assignment for Roots Music Canada: Kristin Sweetland does Home County Folk Festival!

I've also posted some new shots from my Adventures in Sweetland eternal self-portrait series ... here.

See you soon,

I'm awake Unsweetlandishly early, by the glory of strong coffee and James Keelaghan in my CD alarm clock! En route to Kingston today to play an afternoon set at Raise the Roof Women's Music Festival ... Loads of my esteemed Toronto colleagues will also be performing! The likes Layah Jane, Karyn Ellis and Kirsten Jones to name a few. Kirsten and I will be embarking on another video blog mission for Roots Music Canada. We'll see what happens this time... 

Tomorrow I head to Guelph for the last day of Hillside Festival to see my pal Andy White play. Andy and I have a show together Monday night @ The Dakota Tavern. It's gonna rock. Show starts 8 PM sharp so come early!

See you there ... x

My Pretties,

Bonjour from sunny and crisp London-town. Here for a wee visit before I'm back in Toronto, then up Lake Huron-way for Easter eggs avec famille! Soon after, I'll be hitting the road with American folk starlet Devon Sproule and Toronto-born experimental pop pianist Mantler. We're gonna give 'er up and down the 401 on a mini Ontario Spring tour ... If you're anywhere in Southern Ontario or Québec hope you can make it out to one of the shows! You can find our tour dates here.

In other news, Roots Music Canada has just posted some videos from my sweet interview in their new office this week! Many thanks to David Newland for the delightful interrogation and Andy Frank for the crack camera-work and editing!

Spring kisses,
