I'm thrilled to announce I'll  be returning to Hugh's Room to perform another concert with the band on Saturday March 13th. I played there for the first time back in January and had an absolute blast. I can't wait!

Tickets are now on sale and reservations can be made by phoning: Hugh's Room at 416-531-6604

Hi folks,

Well, It's been a crazy few weeks - I was out in Quebec opening for Caracol and after returning back to Toronto for a few days headed out to Memphis for the International Folk Alliance conference where I saw some amazing bands play and took a field trip with the band to the National Civil Rights Museum. It was a truly memorable experience. The band and I survived a full 15 hours in the car together on the drive home and we're all still talking ;)

It's been a while since I've updated the site ... I took some time to go hiking in the woods and unplug from my little lap top for a few days. The fresh air was brilliant and I'm back in the city and the swing of things. I had such a wonderful time playing at Hugh's Room. The vibe was really lovely and we managed to raise $850 for MSF in support of the relief work they are providing in Haiti. Thank you for making that happen. I'm in the process of preparing to head to Quebec next week where I'll be opening for Caracol ... I'm really excited about this - I first heard her live at Canadian Music week last March and she blew me away. After that, it's off to Memphis for the International Folk Alliance Conference ... February is clearly the month of road trips! 

I am so happy to announce that the second show at Hugh's Room has sold out. This does not mean you can't still get in - it's just that you have to stand. All the seats are gone. I've seen a few shows at Hugh's standing by the bar and had a jolly good time. I'm so excited to play at this venue. I was living in the neighborhood when Hugh's first open and have been going for years ... it's going to be brilliant! The only thing I have to do is get over this cold I woke up with this morning - ick! I'm not only following my own tried and true remedies, I'm chucking in a pinch of everyone else's for good measure. On that subject - if you find yourself suffering from a cold, or better yet, the beginnings of one, might I make a few recommendations ....

Fresh Juice - the base doesn't seem to make a difference - I say what ever makes it more palatable - carrot/apple/celery etc ... the  "active ingredients" are ginger and garlic. I learned this years ago from a friend with cancer who really couldn't afford to get sick and whenever she felt a flu coming on made this fresh drink.
