Snow, show, snow, snow, show, snow...

This feels like what the recent weeks of my life have consisted of. The performing part is good (although it’s been on the harder end of the spectrum lately, due to illness, etc.) but let me tell you, the snow part is getting a LITTLE TIRED. I’m in Ottawa right now, having played last night at John Allaire’s video release party--thanks again, John!--and yep, I can report that they have got just a little snow here. Apparently they’re about to break an all-time snowfall record. Go, team!

Tomorrow I do a preliminary audition for the Ottawa Folk Festival down at lovely Rasputin’s. Two songs: I’m thinking Tremor and Slip and Cariboo Horses, but I may change my mind. I have all fingers crossed: if I pass this round I go to the finals at the National Arts Centre in April. If I pass that, I get a spot at the fest. It would be tons of fun and great exposure, so please think lucky thoughts for me...

But first, tonight, a treat: a show where I don’t have to play! I just get to have a beer and listen to some fabulous music. Kathleen Edwards and Royal Wood at the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield. What a combo! And at such a nice venue. I couldn’t pass it up.

Will report on how the audition goes. And wait impatiently for a thaw.

Love,

K.
