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!

Touring BC & Alberta

Just back from the Homeroutes Tour, which took Karyn into 14 living rooms to perform shows in 15 days across Alberta and Saskatchewan. Click here to view Karyn’s travelogue on Facebook.

And now she’s turning around and heading straight back out across BC & Alberta for a whirlwind tour with Dave Newberry starting in Vancouver this Wednesday. See tour listings for details.

Shows in Ontario

Join Karyn for her last few Ontario shows next week before she heads west for the winter. See tour listings for details.

Homeroutes Concerts in Alberta

Homeroutes Living Room Concert Series: Dates / cities announced. Karyn plays 13 living room shows in 15 days across Central Alberta between October 27 to November 10. Many of these dates are open to the public. See tour listings for details.

Back from BC

Just got back to T.O from Wells BC. Both the 4-day intensive Songwriting Workshop with Ken Whiteley from Tuesday to Friday, and Artswells Festival over the long weekend were AMAZING! I wrote three new songs while I was there, and I played in two historic buildings, both acoustically beautiful, the old Sunset Theatre in Wells and the church in Barkerville.

Now that I’m back, I’m looking ahead to the last of my summer festival plans. I’ve been invited back again this year to play at Joanne Mackell’s Annual Jambo on Wards Island, in Toronto Ontario. That’s happening August 29th. See tour listings for details.

Good Times!

Good times at River and Sky Festival! The weather was amazing, the scene was rocking! This Saturday I’ll be at Raising the Roof Women’s Music Festival just outside of Kingston, ON. Then I’m heading to BC to play a Vancouver show on Sunday, then up to Wells/Barkerville BC for Artswells over the long weekend. See tour listings for details.
