Hi all.
I haven’t written in this for a while…
Well - in 5 days I fly out to Vancouver to start working on album 2. I’m really excited about it!
Brian James & I will be working with acclaimed producer Roy Salmond out at his great studio called Whitewater Productions.
We’ll start with 3 songs, then come home, then go back….come home…go back…you get the idea!
Anyhow - It’s only been a year since the release of our last record (almost to the day) and I already feel so excited to get these new songs out there…
This new record is going to be a bigger reflection of who I am, the searching within myself I’ve had to do this past year, and I hope that the new album is really relateable and honest.
I really hope you like it.
I can’t say when the release date is going to be - b/c to be honest - I have NO IDEA!!
I’m thinking about releasing it early September (The official CD release party anyhow)
Well, I’m sitting here, typing this and drinking Chai tea…my new favorite tea…I think…
I’ll fill you in on studio life while I’m there…I’ll take recording photos..I’m so bad at taking photos sometimes. Even though I’ve had a professional photographic business for 5 years, I’m still bad.
Anyhow - what a great year last year was - I’m going to point form the highlights…

- January 15th/07 - embarked on 1st ever music tour with friends Laura Kolisnyk, Jeremy Remple (his music is great!) and Jane Martens and had a GREAT time.
- Feb 2/07 - Had cd release party in Winnipeg at the West End on the coldest night of the year - had a great great evening!
- April 07 - Went on a greater Toronto area tour with friend/music partner Brian James and met and played at some great places
- Summer 07 - Was nominated for a Western Canadian Music award (Outstanding Christian recording) and 2 Covenant awards (Roots/Folk album of the year & Cd Artwork)
- Embarked on Western Canadian tour 2 with Brian James and had Great shows and Great feedback! Can’t wait to get out there again!
- Am now with Signpost Music (Steve Bell) and the guys/gals at signpost have been SO supportive and have brought me to a place I couldn’t have NEVER gotten to the rate I was going. I love them SO much. This artist in development thing they have going on here is SUCH a great program. It gives little unknowns like me a chance to build a career doing what I love and I am SO honored that I get that opportunity. Love you guys!!

So - 2007 was such a great year. I saw most of this beautiful country, got in 2 car accidents on the road, blew a tire on the highway, realized that most car rental agencies really really suck no matter what type of insurance you have, survived 5 provinces numerous times, met amazing people, memorized every word to “gettin jiggy with it” saw some GREAT old friends, met my new nephew and had a lot of fun on the way.

Thanks to my support guys…(Brent - husband and Kai - son) for all that you’ve given up for me to chase my dream…I love you and couldn’t do it without you) thanks to great great friends Brian James - for travelling with me and putting up with me and learning raps and dance routines with me….and for all the laughter on the road….

Matt Epp - you’re the best. You are SUCH a great friend, SO supportive and you really believe that ANYTHING is possible! It’s inspiring. check out Matt’s music - he’s going to be famous. he’s incredible!

Laura, Jane & Jer - what a great first tour. Thanks for giving up so much and coming away in a crappy van for 2 weeks. Love you guys.
anyhow - I know it’s not supposed to be a speech - just started thinking about 2007.

Bring it on 2008 - I’m ready for you!!
