Wow!
Coco is shooting her first big music video for the song Revolution and we invite you to be a part of it!
date: Tuesday, November 17th
time: 12pm – 7pm
location: Swansea Mews (housing complex at Queensway & Windermere ave)
see the location on Google Maps
The concept for the video involves a marching band, protest rally and concert performance. We want as many people showing up and joining in as possible. You don’t have to come for the full day. Show up for 15 minutes if that’s all you can manage. Every person showing will make a huge difference. Come as dressed up or dressed down as you like. An extra special invite goes out to all cyclists!

Coco recently met singer-songwriter Matt Epp at OCFF. Hearing him perform, she fell in love with his simple, understated style. This led Coco to convincing Matt to fly across the entire country (he’s in Newfoundland the day before) to join her on December 12th at the Rio. They will be turning a few of each others songs into duets.
Matt was recently in Toronto and stopped by for a short rehearsal and photo shoot. I got some of their playing on video and will be uploading it in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here’s what the poster looks like. What a charmer!
As promised, here is the video footage from Matt & Coco’s first rehearsal. I can’t wait to see what their show will be like!
Coco is flying out to Halifax next week to do a string of 5 shows in the Maritimes. She’ll be opening for Steve Poltz. You may know him as the man who penned one of Jewel’s hits, ‘You Were Meant for Me’. Show dates on the Tour page.
