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!

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!

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.
