Let’s Get Winterfolk’d!

Hi dear friends – I hope you’re staying toasty and have found maximum coziness this winter. It’s almost time to get Winterfolk’d! ! Over 100 aritsts over four days of music on 3 stages at The Tranzac Club in the Annex neigbourhood of Toronto. So thrilled to be part of the team putting it all together and getting a chance to participate as well. The harder you work, the luckier you get.

This past fall, playing a Cameron House residency with my band we had a chance to refine songs, pacing and banter until everything felt effortless. I can feel that effortlessness is still with me, growing even…

And now after a break to write and record demo’s for a new album (gasp!) and sharing the songs on PATREON, I’m excited to be back playing with the band! We will be playing all originals and one Gordon Lightfoot tune (can you guess which one?) with hunky Peter Collins on bass, lucky Pete Lambert on drums and Jonathan Billings on lead guitar. When: Feb 14th 5pm Where: Main Hall Tranzac Club. What: songs about the many sides of love and Canadiana.

And I’ll be popping in for a song with Harpin’ Norm Lucien 2pm Saturday afternoon in the Southern Cross Room at the Tranzac. You might remember him as the harmonica player who jumped up with us a played a couple songs at The Cameron house previously.

But wait, what about Friday night? I’m hosting a “Let’s Sing” workshop with Suzie Vinnick and Clela Errington on Friday Feb 13th 7pm in the Living Room at the Tranzac. The three of us will be sharing songs and inviting the room to sing along-nothing fancy, nothing forced. Just voices together, the way it used to be. You don’t need to know the words of consider yourself a singer. Come as you are.

And and 9pm I’ll be back in the Living Room at the Tranzac sharing songs as a guest of the fabulous songwriter and human: Glen Hornblast. Other guests will be David Storey and Aidan Devine,  back up by  Bob Cohen, Shelley Coopersmith, Kevin Bell.
