It was this time last year that I was cruising the interstates on my way to Kansas City for the Folk Alliance International Conference.
That was the trip of a lifetime – culminating in 10,000 kms solo to Houston, Texas and back…
This week sees Montreal hosting FAI, and our Canadian Winter is abundant there. I will settle for the minus 40° here on the Prairie, and send my warmest wishes to everyone attending for a safe and fabulous time!! ❤️
Please stop by Bill Wence Promotions (booth 13) at the conference and see Bill Wence and Lauren Zartman. They have some promotional stuff and a few CDs from me to give away too. They did an amazing job of my radio tracking for Piano In The Field.
We just wrapped up the 20 week run on Americana and Country Radio in the US, with the album reaching #143 on the big AMA charts, and topping out on the RMR Charts at #6, with THREE singles in the top 20 for over a month. Thank you to every DJ that gave me a spin and helped me live a real life dream!!
❤️ I was 5 spots behind Willy Nelson who was at #1 on those RMR Charts. Who can even say that,!?! 😜
In the meantime, Piano In The Field, the film, is garnering international accolades at Film Festivals overseas with an Honourable Mention at Reale Film Festival in Italy and is an Official Selection at Short To The Point Festival.
Congratulations and Gratitude to everyone who made the film happen, especially director Joel Varjassy of Louis Studios! Thank you so very much to the festivals for recognizing our work!!
Sometimes dragging a 1200lb upright grand piano around IS worth it. (…Images of early settlers in covered wagons abandoning pianos along the trail…)
We have a few more submissions out there for film festivals, so please stay tuned.
I am truly grateful for and humbled by the love and support that has been given to me. I am in awe of all the Beings who take the time and give the resources to keep songwriters and original music alive! Thank you! Blessings and Big Love
