Talk on the Tracks

I’m on the train heading to Toronto (my homebase during this 5 1/2 week excursion from BC) after another weekend of super fun shows. I can’t believe the tour is already pretty much wrapped up but for a couple more shows this week/end.

* A song or two at Evalyn Parry’s Cameron House show this Thursday, 6pm to 8pm. I didn’t even add this one to my listings, because I’m more going to go hear her play than play myself. She’s awesome. You should go!

* Then, a house concert in Hamilton on Saturday the 21st featuring moi solo! Full 2-set concert. The evening is hosted by a lovely guy, who I met during the social media blogging challenge this winter. Send me an email – karyn@karynellis.com – if you’re interested in attending, and I’ll put you in contact with Tom (the host) for reservations/directions.

Before then, though, I’ll be spending the next couple of days of resting, because I head into the studio on WEDNESDAY! Woot! That’s right! We’re talking the very beginnings of the album, but folks… it’s on its way!

“Uh Oh!” [Video]

My heart leapt a little (okay… a LOT!) when I saw this cymbal playing monkey on the cash register at Taloola’s Cafe in Windsor Ontario…

Karyn live on CBC Radio 1

If you are in the Windsor area this afternoon (Friday July 6th) at 5pm, tune into 97.5 fm to hear Karyn interviewed live on The Bridge, Windsor’s Afternoon show on CBC Radio 1. You can also listen online (scroll down to the Radio 1 icon just under the navigation tabs.)
