So the weather is finally thawing… now that the days are longer, and spring is close… ooh laa laa… things just feel better!! Thankfully!! As for the continuation of my CMW rants… Seeing bands perform from all over the world makes one realize how music REALLY IS the universal language… Ireland, Australia, Toronto, Vancouver… having the pleasure to share the stage with such talent as “Sick of Sarah” a great chick band from the States… definitely check them out!! I had the pleasure of meeting with some great music execs, had a chance to chat with Terry McBride, who was just inducted into The Canadian Music Hall of fame… I saw Moby interviewed aswell; when asked the top 4 things he would do if it was the last day on earth, he replied: eat burritos, play Led Zeppelin covers, drink cheap beer & make sweet Love…on another note, I may be heading over to Germany to play!! What a rush… I can’t wait until next year… In the meantime, I have some great things happening here in Toronto…besides having an abundance of performances to listen in on, great food around every corner, a gym membership, gigs to prepare for and an irish session to play in, I have a song-writer night to organize.. This takes place at The Supermarket (in kensington maket) on the last Monday of every month… so stay tuned for all the great artists who will make the roster… the first show is on the 31st of March featuring: Myself, Ron Leary, Meredith Luce & Dave Gaudet. You won’t be disappointed!! Talk soon,  Moi xox

Hey Folks, I’m not much of a morning person, but this morning, when I got into the kitchen, the radio, MIX 97, was playing my song, 1000 Kisses. This made me very happy! People ask me what it’s like to hear myself on the radio and I say “hell yeah, bring it on!!!” I haven’t been pursuing the dream of music to have my first brand new album sit on a shelf!! Last night, my cousin was driving home and heard my song “8th Wonder” on The Bear, in Ottawa… what a thrill to get that message in my inbox this morning. I can feel it, it’s just a matter of time now. I played a show last night and asked the audience if there was anyone out there who heard my songs on the radio, prompting them to come to a live show, and wouldn’t you know it, hands went up!!! Thank you radio!! I can feel a new song coming… Lxo

Bonjourno!

I would hope that you are feeling fine on this grey rainy fall day… Just take the time out to get cozy with a cuppa Joe or a suppa Tea… it’s the best thing to take away the cold…
OR
you can go to www.ottawaxpress.ca and fill out their “Best of 2007 survey“… my Album ‘Sound‘ was nominated for the “Best Folk/Country Album” which might not sound exactly right… and the album might just fit better in the “Best Pop etc etc Album” and there IS an option to fill in my name in the “other” category… SO if you so wish to nominate me for any of the “other”categories or just check my name in the one category that I was nominated for… PLEASE DO!!!
It is time for me to get my music out to the world and it can only be done via YOU!!! (and me I guess… )
THANKS HEAPS and HEAPS!!!
(p.s. the van is still in the garage…. but the rental car has been GREAT! getting the CD’s back was a bit miracle-ish… very super cool indeed!!!)
k, enjoy. I’ll be back soon….

Hey guys.

I an still pretty tired after a crazy weekend of playing HEAPS of music & not sleeping nearly enough. This past weekend was the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals Conference, held in London Ontario. The whole thing started on Thursday and didn’t end until the wee hours of Sunday Morning. It’s a big conference held once a year where musicians & festival directors, radio stations, publicists etc etc come together to meet each other, try to book acts & all round self promotion. It’s music playing with a capital “M.” The weekend is a blast, with SO many things to do & places to be… I’m still flying!!! (but SOOOOOOOOO tired!!)

as for the missing 500 cd’s…. well they, and my 92 van were found!!! the cd’s weren’t stolen but my stereo was!! not to mention all the damage that the thieves did to the van…. it’s in the garage as we speak. There were MANY people who came to my aid with this issue… I am so grateful to have such a great support network, even people I’ve never met before… thanks Lynn Saxberg for writing a column about it in The Ottawa Citizen, & thanks to Colin Mills at Healey Disc for offering to replace the stolen Cd’s. Big Love goes out to you all.

500 copies of Lindsay’s new CD, “Sound”, have been stolen!!! We need your help. If anyone knows anything, or has seen anyone driving Lindsay’s signature white van since Monday, Oct 8th, or where the CDs might be, (cause it’s hard to hide 500 CDs), please contact manager@lindsayferguson.com. The van itself, as you might guess, is now less important that getting the CDs back. No charges will be made if the CDs are returned, but that she’ll be 100% anonymous with the entire matter.
