Announcing…

CBC puts Cottonwood on the map

Big news! I recently left behind the crazy pace of city life in Toronto to live in the country. Now I’m in the foothills of the Cariboo Mountains in the interior of British Columbia. That’s eight hours north of Vancouver! Yesssss!

And to celebrate this momentous move — which is, incidentally, the FIRST time I have EVER lived outside of the Toronto/New Jersey time zone (except when I was a baby in England) — I am playing for the first time in Quesnel on March 11th! And it’s a triple-bill with area’s awesome Yael Wand & the Wingdam Ramblers! Visit my TOUR DATES for full details about the show!

PS apparently CBC’s All Points West got wind of my news too — not only did they play one of my songs last Friday to promote the show on March 11th, they actually welcomed me on air to British Columbia. How friendly is that!? I knew I moved here for a reason!

Topic: myopic

And so wraps up another Girls With Glasses tour (our fifth year!) With barely a snow squall on the highways nor an empty seat in the house, this year by far was the biggest *spectacle* to date. Thanks everyone who had the *foresight* to come out to one of our shows! *See* you next year!

Of course, I’m not really going anywhere! You can still see me (sans my side project, GWG), like, for example ==> on Friday March 11th! I’m sharing the bill with Yael Wand and the Wingdam Ramblers!

It’s winter, and you know what that means!

Once again it’s time for the annual Girls With Glasses Tour! Evalyn Parry, Eve Goldberg and myself aka GWGs head out across southern Ontario for three weekends bringing an “ensemble that combines rootsy folk and blues, edgy pop, and spoken word with luscious harmonies and original arrangements.”

We kicked off the tour last Saturday at St. Nicholas Anglican Church in Toronto to a nearly sold out show as part of the Acoustic Harvest Concert Series.

The tour continues this weekend with dates in Kingston, Ottawa (and this one IS sold out!) and McDonald’s Corners. Next weekend we head to Stratford & London where we will be joined by special guest, original GWG Allison Brown. Avoid disappointment ~ be sure to reserve your tickets! See Tour dates for details.

…and here it is!!

Welcome to the newly redesigned www.karynellis.com! Woo hoooooo! It’s been a LONG time coming for this major overhaul. And I couldn’t be more pleased! Thanks Carlos Gouveia for programming this wonderful space. Sooooo much rooooooomier than the old site!

What do you think of it? I love the addition of comments sections on several of the pages (ie lyrics) as well as the fact that it is generally waaaaay easier to navigate around the site. You? Thoughts? Things you’d like to see here? Please let me know! Email me at karyn@karynellis.com or use the form on the contact page.

Meanwhile poke around, enjoy your visit! We really do mean it when we say photos, videos, etc coming soon… so keep checking back as we keep adding to / growing the site.

Happy 2011 everyone!

To celebrate the new year, I will be launching the newly redesigned www.karynellis.com! Web guy Carlos Gouveia is feverishly programming to get the site up and fancy polished. Look for it in a couple of weeks… and there’s something else new for 2011. The release of a new music video for "Bitter Grasses". News coming veeeerrrrrry soon!

So in the last few days of this trusty website’s life, let me take this opportunity to post what may be one of the final times I have to handcode this link: see tour listings for details about my upcoming Girls With Glasses Tour (six dates in Feb 2011) and an Ottawa show happening Saturday January 29th!
