A taste of new songs coming! From my unplugged house show in Kitchener last night. Thanks for the video, Paul Bruder.
It is the “world debut” :) of my new song, Speed Of Light. Unplugged at The William House Livingroom Concert on Sunday February 14th, 2016, the song is so new that I am reading lyrics off my laptop!
And in case you are wondering, my friends… that is the inimitable Devin Ereshan on electric guitar.
My UPCOMING EUROPE TOUR ~
This seems as good a place as any to ask…
I have been invited to play at Micropop Week in Dusseldorf Germany on April 15, 2016. Found myself a fantastic deal on Air Icelandic and I have booked off a month to come over from Canada.
Okay,so now that I’m for sure coming to Europe, I need/want to fill up dates between April 22 and May 9th!
(I would love to come up to the UK / Scandinavia too, if it makes senses financially.)
My plans are basically this:
That gives me three weeks to play shows around Europe. (This will be my seventh tour there. Woot!)
I am happy to open, double-bill, headline at clubs, cafes, theatres, living rooms… share my solo folk-pop with soft-seater / listening crowds.
In / near cities such as Bonn, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Lille, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Basel, Biel, Geneva, Bruge, Brussels, Cologne, Mannheim, Lyon…
How fantastic to cross paths with fellow musos and meet you and your music loving communities face-to-face!
So what do you say, let’s do this!
Propose a show!
Living rooms are awesome!
I’ll even be brave and play some of my new songs at your show!

Check out this delightful painting by Natasha from Quesnel, BC inspired by my song, Even Though The Sky Was Falling!
by Natasha Johanna Lepine.
About the painting, Natasha wrote:
““we were laughing, we didn’t care
we pedaled faster into the wind, we let it carry us away
i thought we’d make it home, even though the sky was falling”

Been pushing myself to finish this piece, but it’s finally done! :)”

Thank you, Johanna, I’m honoured! And congrats!
…if I wore Kate Blanchette’s lips, eyelashes and curls…
Coming to the end of my tremendously relaxing couple of holiday weeks. Though clearly I am not *quite* finished. Rounded out with trips to the movies not once, but twice! First for “Star Wars” a few days ago and then last night to see “Carol”. There is some mighty fine cinema happening these days. I have the glamour lashes to prove it!
Went to see the new Star Wars movie this afternoon. Nostalgia in full, ahem… force. It was a good old fashioned adventure / sci-fi flick. And didn’t my heart just stir with happiness when Han Solo appeared on screen, swaggering like the quintessential anti-hero that he is.
If Harrison Ford had been on board
On the day you threw your keys out the window.
If Johnny Cash had hid your stash
Would you have needed to make a crash landing?
Or would you still be flying?
More Than A Hero!
