It seems that everytime I post now it is always an update. I've been really busy this summer, yet it hasn't seemed like anything really exciting to me has happened. I spent a lot of time working, playing music, partying, and listening to as much live music as possible. That was generally my summer. Until I got this phone call.
Today I gave my notice in at work. My last day is on September 5th. After then I have some time to get my "affairs" in order, relax, and prepare for what is about to happen.
I am hittin' the road. For months. Roughly three months. I have never done anything like this before in my life, and I have also never been so sure of anything before. It is by far the biggest opportunity I have ever had, and I didn't even have to do anything. It happened with just a phone call.
I'm going on tour with Theresa Sokyrka. I played my first gig with her on Tuesday at Waskesiu. It was the smoothest first gig I have ever played with anyone, and the songs she wrote are great. We are playing all the new songs from her new album "Something Is Expected", which is out on September 29th. The music is great, and so far the band seems like its going to be awesome.
Finn, the piano player in my Lydia's band is also playing, so I have a really awesome friend there with me. The other guys in her band are Tyler and Ryan. They are from Red Deer. And then Theresa, of course! Also we have a road manager... his name is Darcy. He doubles as the best sound guy I have ever played with.
That is my news. I go play at the Vancouver Ex next week, and then fly home, finish up work, and then go again to B.C. in September again. I won't be home a lot in October, and I won't be at home at all in November and December. I will be home for Christmas though.
I hope everybody is doing well, and sorry I havn't been in touch this summer very much. I can't wait to quit my job and get my priorities straightened up... music, family, and of course, friends.
It is definatley going to be a new and exciting adventure.
Sweet.

Good luck with your adventure! And I hope you have a blast!!
Sweet is right, girl!
As long as you're back for my wedding, happy travels! I'm so excited for you - I'm sure you never imagined even last year that you'd be touring the country playing for thousands of people. It goes to show you that exactly when you think you have your life figured out, Someone has something bigger planned. You deserve it girl!
