Sorry for taking so long to write... It's been a busy couple of weeks but things have been going really well. Firstly, ECMA's was fabulous. I was so honored to be included in the circle showcase. It was a wonderful show. The concert on Feb 18 was another highlight of my ECMA weekend. A big Thank You to Jimmie Inch for including me in the show. The level of talent was incredible and it was great for me to hear some of the artists that I haven't had a chance to see before but often hear their names. Thank you to all of you who sent me such wonderful compliments... I perform to entertain and move you so it's nice to hear from you that I am achieving my goals:) Lots of shows planned for the upcoming season and I am branching out into new territory as well so keep posted to my calendar for updates. I will be travelling through Quebec and Ontario in June so for those of you who have been asking me to come, wait no longer (well actually just 4 months, that's it I promise:) I have been doing a lot of writing lately. It's funny b/c it seems to come in waves for me... this is a big one. I have lots of new material I will be testing out on the road so you can let me know what you think. I had a big night in my career this past Monday. I opened for Chantal Kreviazuk. First let me say I have met many artists but she was one of the most gracious and kind people I have ever met. She was actually late going onstage b/c she was talking to me about my career and songs and how she loved my set. That was a moment, a beautiful full circle moment for me. I had been at a concert in Halifax of hers several years ago, right before the time I made the decision to move home and pursue my music. I watched her from my seat and started to seriously consider trying this music gig out. So to open for her, meet her and have her be so lovely was a great moment I won't soon forget. And lastly, I am going to D. Republic in April and I can not wait. I will be joined by the Offshore Gael folk and I am looking forward to a week without a computer or telephone. Sometimes you need to just get away?!!! I will let you know when news arrives. Thank you again for taking the time to write on my guestbook and to me personally. It means a tremendous amount:) xo Steph
