Hello Northerners! I have posted the dates and cities of the upcoming Northern BC/AB tour on the shows page. I leave in one week. Please clear the roads and alert the moose that an inexperienced city girl is heading up. I’m very excited to see a bunch of places that i have never seen before, including Terrace, pictured here. That’s my grandparents Tess and Paul in their mountaineering club in 1964. I’ll bring my boots and hopefully get a hike in.
winding down and gearing up
we’ve been having a fine time at the East Van Panto. halfway through and still giggling. and for more fun, The Fits have just scored a plum gig opening for Red Herring at the railway club this dec 23. maybe we need christmas outfits? maybe.
and then comes 2014! 14 years later and i’m still slightly disappointed that we weren’t forced to reinvent society after Y2K. but on we go. I’ll be in toronto in early january, coaching the Craigslist team for their shows in Calgary and Edmonton. there’ll be a nice small house concert in toronto, send me an email if you want the secret directions. and then in february i’m going to venture into true winter for 12 shows in northern bc and alberta! please applaud my southern bravery. feb 2-15 i’ll be playing house concerts through the Home Routes people. i’ll be putting those exact dates up soon, but for now you can check the “shows” page and see if your town is on the list. my first time in Terrace! Hazelton! and many more. time to relearn some of the old tunes; send requests if you have them.
till next, i hope you get a walk in the snow and some good comfort this season. here’s to good surprises.
