Thanks to all who came out to the Osoyoos, Kelowna, and Penticton shows this week. And especially to Christina for joining me on vocals and cello – we don’t play together nearly enough. But I’m stoked about flying out to Toronto tomorrow and I guess I’d better do some packing…
I’ve got a few Okanagan shows this week and am extremely stoked that Christina Zaenker will be joining me for them. She did the awesome background vocalizing and cello playing on my album and it’s always an honor and a pleasure when I get to play with her. So we spent yesterday afternoon rehearsing at the Penticton Art Gallery (which was closed – thanks for letting us do that, Paul!) playing in the very same lovely tea room we’ll be playing in on Saturday, with that inspiring view of the lake behind us…sun setting…etc.
Those dates again (for you Okanaganites):
Wednesday, April 29: Breezes Grill in Osoyoos
Thursday, April 30: Minstrel Cafe in Kelowna
Saturday, May 2: Penticton Art Gallery
Down in Vancouver for the weekend to rehearse with Leeroy Stagger for his upcoming tour (I’m playing guitar in his band, along with Ian Brown on drums and Tyson Maiko on bass) and having a rockin’ good time. Even though the tour doesn’t begin till May 21 we have to squeeze it in when we can as I’m going to be pretty busy over the next 3 1/2 weeks with my own gigs (which I’ve posted here). Check out the Leeroy dates on his myspace page.
I’m also going to be opening some of the shows solo acoustic though as this point I have no idea which ones, although I may not know until we load into the gig.
