Upcoming Shows and New Lyric Video (for your eyes only)
I hope October was fantabulous for you! Temperatures are dropping, but the beautiful colors that surround us this time of year make the extra layer of clothing doable!
As a member of my mailing list (membership must have it’s privileges!) I wanted you to be the first to see the official lyric video for my new holiday single “Christmas Breaks My Heart”. The video was created by a UK animator and the song itself was written by moi and produce by Juno award winning producer Michael Wojewoda (previously of the Rheostatics). You can watch the video here: PRIVATE LINK
To me, there has always been more than one side to Christmas. There’s the whimsical, childlike, magical side and then there is a melancholy, lonelier side. I strangely enjoy tapping into the loneliness and sadness someone can feel when spending Christmas alone.
I’m looking forward to playing the Cross Currents Cafe in Bolton this Friday night and then there is my holiday single release party at the Free Times Cafe on Fri Nov 29th! I hope you will save the date. I’ve got Matt Gerber and Angela Saini playing opening sets, so it will be an entertaining night of live music, a few holiday songs and a celebration of the release of “Christmas Breaks My Heart” which will be available on all digital platforms that very same day. Can’t wait.
Thanks for being a friend and fan! Please feel free to let me know what you think of the song. You know I love hearing from you!
Hugs and mushy stuff,
Melanie
