Grafton, ON

I've had the most magnificent past few weeks with my friends! Spent last weekend at the Shelter Valley Folk Festival, glorious utopian artistic creation of Aengus Finnan and his amazing community. Hosted the daytime Village Stage there and got to see loads of amazing pals like Darlene, Bob Snider, Brian MacMillan and Rick Fines ... not to mention Lynn Miles who I love so and simply cannot stop listening to!

Last weekend I played the Eaglewood Folk Festival and slept in my sweet little van by the pond ... Thanks to brilliant artistic director Trevor Mills for having me, Darlene, Carrie (you're the best manager ever!) and Nathan Rogers for making me laugh my ass off all weekend. And of course, the amazing Ken Whiteley, friend and producer was there playing along with me ... Next stop NYC. Watch out world. xo

I had an AMAZING time this past weekend at the Shelter Valley Folk Festival just outside Grafton, Ontario. We had beautiful weather, the lineup was great and there were no shortage of my dearest pals about! (Darlene, Bill Bourne, Trevor Mills and Ember Swift... to name but a few. ) I got to wear a new hat this festival -not literally- as stage host! It was a fabulous learning experience for me and -among other many other things- I introduced performers, caught flying drum-brushes and hosted a symposium discussion panel on muse and inspiration... yum. Now it's time to rest, and recover... xo

At the Shelter Valley Festival I did an incredibly fun

It's me. Officially home from a summer of incredible adventuring. Just spent the most amazing weekend at the Shelter Valley Folk Festival up in Grafton, ON. I just can't say enough about this sweet little festival- sooo good! Am now settling down for six weeks of no touring with a serious focus on new album work. It's coming... Check back in the next week or so and I'll post even more secret info! (And more summer festival photos coming too!)

talk soon,
