I hope you are all doing wonderful and enjoying the coming of spring. I’ve been hard at work in Music City and also having lots of fun. I finished recording four brand new tunes and am also happy to report that my current single “Woman in the White Dress” has been well received at radio in Canada and abroad. Right now it is in the Top Ten on the National Aboriginal Top 30 Countdown which is broadcast nationwide. Please continue to request it and hopefully it will hit number one! You can request the tune by clicking HERE or calling in.

On the shows front, I had an awesome time playing the Bluebird Cafe. It was great to play at such a historic venue with some really great female artists. The band was rockin’ too and the house was packed! I’ll post some photos soon as well as some more from my European tour this summer. I also have been selected by SOCAN and Billy Block to play a showcase at 12th & Porter which will be broadcast live in Nashville so stay tuned for more info on that!

In the meantime, I’ll be songwriting with some fun people and doing a little more work in the studio. Definitely STILL seeing some dreams come true! Thanks so much to radio, fans and of course YOU for supporting me and my music. I love you all and here’s to an awesome spring!
