Thank you lord Jesus. I am so excited for this warmer weather… can’t really take another day of trekking through snowy streets… they don’t plow the sidewalks in Toronto, I used to think living in St. John’s was bad in the winter time… anyway, no more complaints from me as long as I can put away my winter boots!! In the meantime, Easter is one of my favorite “holidays” In my family we go to the Sugar bush; sleigh rides, maple toffee & a great brunch feed in the middle of nowhere Quebec, then we all head over to some family members house (whoever doesn’t mind cleaning up the mess!!) We paint Easter eggs & eat tonnes of chocolate, then the next day we all get together for a major home made waffle breakfast… it’s truly scrumptious!! But not this year, this year I was here in the big city, being taken care of by some GREAT Toronto people… most of whom are from the East coast, Cape Breton & Newfoundland… thanks my new (& old) friends… also, a big thanks to the great Geoff Berner… please, if you haven’t seen this man LIVE, you have to go. He’s on tour in Europe now, so wait ’til he gets back, I promise you will not be disappointed. In the meantime, have a listen to 1010 talk radio www.cfrb.com tonight at 6pm.  Also, get ready for an awesome gig next Monday at The Supermarket in Toronto… featuring  Myself, Dave Gaudet, Meredith

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

Greetings you fine people out there. What an incredible Canadian Music Week in Toronto. I had no idea how HUGE this week was going to be. It was an enormous gigantic rush of people in the music industry, all with the same agenda; talk, listen, learn & play!!! What wonderful things to have in common with one another. The energy was great, I just couldn’t believe how friendly and wide-eyed every one seemed to be. There were SO many highlights, I just don’t know where to begin, hence the title of this blog (I always dislike that word, oh blog!!) “To be continued” because I know there will be more moments to add as the weeks go by. I really am still flying…. one things for sure, if you would like to hear a bit of the hustle and bustle and an interview with me including exerpts from my new album “sound” have a listen to CFRB Toronto’s News Talk Radio on the 23rd of March at 6pm. You can also go to their website & have a listen online at www.cfrb.com I will start by telling you about one major highlight and that was: Having the privilege to hear Alanis Morrissette answer some very personal questions, 20 feet away from me!! Yeah, she was interviewed for an hour… and truly spoke to my heart. She is an inspirational creature, spiritual & quite beautiful. Chatting with Garth Hudson of “The Band” was pretty awe inspiring as well. So I will leave you with that wonderful taste in your mouth and write a little later…. Love Lindsay

Is it me or is this time of year an energy sucker? All I want to do is lay curled up with a book or a dream, or a new CD. Speaking of new CD’s, I went to a wonderful release party… my first introduction to Hugh’s Room in Toronto. What a magical place… a “listen if you know what’s good for you” type of place… and listen I did (and helped decorate too…) Tannis Slimmon!! What an amazing woman, in fact I couldn’t possibly find the right word to describe her, I think I’d have to write a poem maybe… and thanks to these cold dark days, I’m just too darn tired to put pen to paper… though that will all have to change in the coming week, as it’s CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK and I will have to be awake & alert for all the crazy days & nights that lay ahead. Anyhoo, life is beautiful, I mean I’m not really complaining, I just really look forward to the sunshine staying & the energy being re-fueled… ya know???

Bonjour! I had the pleasure of seeing & hearing Ms. M play her heart & soul out at the ACC in Toronto… she was amazing & truly a privilege to see her live, for the first time ever!! What a show, & she played a couple of her new songs too.. they were great. I am quite excited to hear her new album, which isn’t out yet!! Also I checked out a band called “Sterling” last night… EXCELLENT new sound, very cool band… the next best thing!!

Don’t forget, my CMW showcase on the 7th of March… Savannah Room, Toronto. 11pm.

Ciao for now,

Hi everyone, so it turns out that I wasn’t picked as the regional winner for “radiostar” but at least my music was heard by thousands of people!! “8th Wonder” will just have to wait it’s turn… One of the prizes for the contest that I did not win was a trip to Toronto for Canadian Music Week (CMW)…a super cool conference for music industry types). It’s really okay though, because I’m going anyway, but, it will just be me that funds it!! I would have liked to win, of course, but at the end of the day, I am the winner… I have this music gift… and I wouldn’t trade it for ANY contest in the world…

Thanks to everyone who may have voted or sent out the positive energy… better luck next time! Onwards & Upwards I say!!
