How lucky am I to spend time on the west coast, not once, not twice, but THREE times this year! The weather was perfect in British Columbia as I toured and hiked my way from Vancouver to the interior and back.

I’ll admit the outdoor gig in Olympia, Washington was a bit chilly! But the post-gig trek through Snoqualmie Falls Park was a sweet reward.

Next up are two shows in Pittsburgh this weekend, followed by four days in a Toronto hotel, showcasing at the Folk Music Ontario conference. Angel points to whoever keeps me constantly hydrated with nutrient rich smoothies!

The start of September always feels like the sun setting on summer – even though here in Toronto, the air is still thick and muggy and the long weekend feels like it’s stretching out to accommodate the anxious back-to-schoolers.

My summer was filled with music and travel and friends old and new. I’m gearing up for a fall filled with much of the same, only maybe with longer sleeves and multi-coloured leaves.
For the home base crowd, I’m playing at one of the best rooms in Toronto, the Burdock, on September 8, just before I fly out to BC. I’ll be opening for Australian artist Glenn Skuthorpe at his album release show. Tickets are on sale now.
Forest Fire just turned one year old and I am so grateful for all the support I’ve received for this project. Stay tuned for new songs and new adventures.
