Hello everybody,
I am back from tour. And boy am I tired... tired of having an amazing time! Great Lake Swimmers were
the sweetest most beautiful people I have ever been able to sing with and travel with. I feel really lucky
to have been taken under their wing like that.
My album is now officially out in US and I will be playing some east coast dates - so LOOK OUT!!!
More news to come. Go to the LIVE section in the meantime for upcoming performances.
And here is my new video.
