Hello from the UK!
Hi Friends! Bonjour les ami(e)s!
Hope you're doing well! Greetings from on the road in Scotland! It has been a whirlwind past couple weeks touring in the UK with my duo partner, Ellen Gira. We have another leg of shows this week, before I'll be back in BC for some special performances in March!

Canadian Folk Music Awards / Prix de musique folk canadienne
Coming up in late March / early April, the Canadian Folk Music Awards will be coming to Vancouver for the first time ever!! I am honoured to be nominated for "Solo Artist of the Year", and to be performing during the Awards weekend.
BC friends, it would be wonderful to see you there!! A full weekend of events is being planned, and I'll be part of the Traditional Music Concert on Friday March 31st at 6pm at Mel Lehan Hall. I'm delighted to be joined by the amazing Erik Musseau (whistle, piano, vocals), Andy Hillhouse (guitar), Boris Favre (bass), and David Lofgren (bodhrán). The show will also be livestreamed on the CFMA website.
Thank you for your support, and hope to see you soon!
Merci pour votre soutien, et à bientôt j'espère !
