Lont Time Coming:)

It's been awhile since the last blog and lots of things are happening:) I have been busy setting up my summer schedule:) I am all over the place this year... I will be travelling to Ontario, Quebec and NB in June and I am currently working on some dates out West with singer/songwriter and labelmate Timothy Chaisson in September which is exciting. I will also be performing in New England at the end of September so keep posted to my calendar.. I went to the Dominican in April and performed at a venue called the Checkpoint Pub in Sosua. The owners raise money for a charity that this lovely lady who I had the pleasure of meeting began about 7 years ago. The charity raises money for children in the Dominican Republic making it possible to attend school and have access to basic needs. As someone who works for a children's charity, it was so wonderful to meet this woman... for only $70 American, this will send a child to school for an entire year which provides uniforms and supplies. Such a small amount yet so many children lack this opportunity:(The trip was wonderful, the weather was great and the company even better:) So much talent associated with Offshore Gael Music:) One of my little songs was chosen to receive an honor award at the International Songwriting Contest in the performance category (Winter)... Each song is like a child to me so I was very proud to see the judges think that highly of Winter. I am getting ready to go to Halifax this weekend for the Saltscapes Expo which should be a great time... If you are in Halifax, come down and enjoy the music and say hello... Jason MacDonald and I are hosting a "Kitchen Party" several times throughout the weekend. We are also at the Mersey House in Liverpool on Sat night... I will be testing out some of my new material... I can't wait to start recording my next CD... I hope all of you are doing well and thanks for visiting my site and caring about my music... I am living my dream b/c you are allowing me too... I hope to see you on the road this summer...xoSteph
