It’s been a sweet week for me– been working on new songs, painting, got to speak and sing about my work at the Open Book Art Collective show opening on thursday, and tonight I will be doing a backyard concert with Stephanie Ratcliff to close off this beauty of a summer.
Here’s a video from Steph’s gig last month:
The Open Book art show went fantastic, 70+ people came out, we had some great conversations going about the work, I accidentally sold a painting, and someone wandered in off the street who saw the poster. She happens to be in a book club that is going through another Alice Munro collection, so we got to talk about the writing more in depth, and she’s going to bring her whole club out to the VPL to see the show this week. Great times and memorable happenstances of things coming together; I am so grateful to be a part of this collective.
Tonight I will be supporting Stephanie Ratcliff on harmonies, ukulele, banjo, glockenspiel and a tambo-djembe fashioned by Ryan Cadamia. Beautiful Music Machine will be playing a set before us under the twinkle lights and we’ll be on 9-10pm. I want everyone to come. 8pm @ 10 West 11th ave, Vancouver.
The 11″x17″ posters I made using Steph’s song lyrics are up for sale again, too. Here’s one of them:
I hope you all have a great long weekend and if you can’t have a backyard party with us, I hope you are having one somewhere else, with tiki lamps and wine also…
