April showers bring May flowers! So here we are, in April, waiting for the rains to pass and for May to fill up our glass! It’s been almost two weeks since I’ve been home in Canada, and when I left Europe, the flowers and trees were in full bloom, so, this means I get TWO Springs, so I won’t cry too hard over the constant grey skies and soon, I KNOW they will be blue for all of us! Cheers to the bright beauty that is to come! Wair there’s MORE… This Saturday night, April 30th there is a benefit for HAITI, in Ottawa at D’arcy Magees on Sparks street. The music starts at 8pm and there will be heaps of great local music makers in support of the cause. There will be an album featuring all of the artists on stage that night, including myself at 9pm, Kellylee Evans, Jill Zmud and many others, here is the link!! http://www.ottawatonite.com/2011/04/ottawas-music-community-working-together-for-haiti/ With hopes to see some of you there! On May the 6th I am playing my first “Lindsay” show, a “Welcome Home” show at The Rainbow Bistro in the market. I will be performing a solo first set and my band will join me for a rockin’ second set. That’s next Friday night, the 6th of May at The Rainbow. I am in the middle of band rehearsals at the moment for said show, and also because I will start to record my second full length album with Dean Watson of Gallery Studios (in Ottawa) this weekend!! I am very excited to share some new songs with you all, and can only hope that the whole thing will be said and done with a big CD Release party at The Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield on Sunday the 5th of June… It’s going to be an ALL AGES show, so if you have little ones, BRING ‘em!! Oh, and I am coming to Toronto for a show at the end of May on Friday the 27th, playing with Christina Maria at The Cameron House. It’s going to be a GREAT night indeed! In June I plan to head out on the road, for my first cross-Canada “driving” tour!! Leaving from Wakefield and heading out to Vancouver Island and BACK!! I’ve never driven it and am sure to be blown away by Canada’s beauty. Life has many things to look forward to and it all starts with the flowers that are coming soon to a yard near you!! Hope to see you out along the way… Love Lindsay xo
