Hello all. I’m currently in Halifax, Nova Scotia taking a few days to chill after a 10 week cross Canada tour and a recent string of 3 shows with Matt Andersen. The whole fall tour was amazing and exhausting and inspiring and looooong and lovely… ha ha ha, but more on that later.
For those of you that don’t know about Matt Andersen yet, he’s awesome! Writes great tunes and then sings plays the @#%& out of them. We had 3 amazing sell out audiences. Over 700 in Halifax… wow! So the concept for these shows was for myself, Ian Sherwood, The Hupman Brothers and Ross Neilsen (all amazing) to each play a few of our own tunes in the first set. Then we all got up together and played Matt’s tunes as a band. Ian and I were the horn section with him on tenor sax and me on trumpet. So much fun!!!
So if anyone needs some trumpet playing… it’s official, I’m pro now… ha ha ha.
And now back to lounging in my hotel room. I’m kicking it diva style this week!

And you & Ian were a great horn section. Loved your set, seems
Matt only has super talented friends!! Isn’t it a little scary when he
points/nods/shouts your name in the middle of a song and everyone
suddenly looks at you? You so were terrific, look forward to following
your work!

The show in Halifax was great, I am so glad we were able to make it. And now I have a great $5 off coupon to use…

Hey coco!
I’m 14 and I love what you do! I love music, I love social issues and I love nerds
With all the crap music going around now on the radio, I’m losing interest in music now. i basically only listen to like 60s and 70s stuff.
I heard you on CBC this morning and decided to check it out.
from a girl in desperate need of revolution,
Kat!
ps Please come to Ottawa soon!

there are lots of social issues these days mostly due to our culture and economic situation~`:
