So, three of the ten songs I played - Marshmallow World, What Are You Doing New Years Eve, and Hang Up Your Stocking - are still up on Facebook, plus all the chatting and joking in between (including our discovery that our heroes, podcasting comedy stars Jimmy Dore and Stef Zamorano, were tuned in and enjoying the show with their pup Brownie!!).
Read More"Twinkle Twinkle Little Me" is one of my favourite Christmas songs. It's a Stevie Wonder tune, so it has all the things I love - lots of major and minor 7s, soulful melodies, and a playful perspective.

Read MoreChanneling the natural world of flowing rivers, pouring rain, and distant shorelines, Dane Roberts's second full-length album Chasing Water unfurls its emotions like the temperamental Eastern sky – by turns brightly charming, hazily daydreaming, and storming with driving, soul-purifying rain.

Read MoreEndlessly falling flower petals, my original wedding dress and earrings, and a single red rose make this a romantic fantasy.
Read MoreBetween the video and some lovely photos that director Noah Capannelli took in his studio, we got a lot of mileage out of my original wedding dress (and we miraculously did not destroy it!). Can't wait for you to see the beautiful fantasy that Noah created for this first official music video from my 2020 album Heirloom.
Read MoreOn Saturday, I played for the first time ever on Instagram Live! It was a special night - a pyjama party theme, a show-and-tell segment featuring Adeila’s first song “Bumblebee” (so cute, I die), and our first time filming in portrait mode, where you can actually see all of me!

Read MoreI never would have thought that, so soon after Heirloom, I’d already be moving on and looking forward to the next thing. But with the pandemic really making it hard to promote that record the way I wanted to, I might as well get back into recording. And the world could use some easy, happy love songs right now.

Read More“Everything” leaves behind the self-deprecating person I was on Little Sway, born out of the realization that it is toxic to try to feel everything, that entire shadow world of bleak sadness is a place you should visit no more than necessary - that my being is valid and has worth, no matter whether anyone else sees it or not.

Read MoreTonight, I did a little show and tell with a piece of fan art that was mailed to me by Bianca Lee from South Korea several years back. And I played my ukulele publicly for the first time ever!

Read MoreThis is a very prestigious local award, and the judging process relies on a few different factors - one of which is a public vote. I was overwhelmed yesterday by all of the kind comments I received on my Facebook post about the nomination, seeing so many of you were voting for me. Thank you! And thank you to my secret nominator, whoever you are!

Read MoreIt’s Saturday night, and I am currently winding down from what was one of my very favourite ever live-stream performances! I felt like this one was so much fun, and there were so many novel aspects and things we did right (show & tell! wine! rihanna!) that I will be sure to bring back for future streams.
…
Read MoreI wanted to write this song to express the need for women in power, to be visible authorities, to help a world that desperately needs help. I was despairing at how much humanity’s progress is hampered by the fact that half of the world is, to varying degrees, discouraged from actively participating in finding solutions for our problems.

Read MoreIt’s been one week since I released my new single “Can We Go Back”, and it has received really kind coverage on the three main major avenues of publicity - tv, radio, and print! It’s the first time that I’ve ever released something that was covered in all three realms in its first week.
