This past weekend I had a great time celebrating my mother, I hope you did too! Then a few days ago, I went to a tree museum for the first time in my life. It sounds odd, but it was a beautiful walk through the forest with added art installations that artists, inspired by the landscape, had been commissioned to create. We had a picnic lunch and then strolled the forest for a few hours taking in the self guided tour. It was a great way to get outside on a beautiful day and get some use of of my boots!
Earthquake – Live
I love, love, love performing live. When I’m up on stage it’s the best feeling in the world. Recently I was able to fly back to Canada for a gig over the Easter weekend and I had such a great time playing with my band. We played my upcoming single Earthquake and it went over so well, which is such a humbling feeling; when the audience loves the music you wrote. Here’s a video of Earthquake, let me know what you think!
Country 89
I love radio station visits! It’s so much fun to visit with people who also love music. I’ve been to Country 89 in Welland before, but it’s such a fun station to visit and it always makes me feel so special when I think about all the fantastic artists they have visit them and that I get to be a part of that! On this visit I did an on air interview and then got to play a live version of Bad Habit, which is always fun for me because it has a totally different vibe than when it’s played with the band.
Just Chil
My friend who introduced to some of the great local places to dine in London also recommended this frozen yogurt gem. Chil is a small dessert shop near the universities in London Ontario. This place was presented to me with a lot of hype, so my expectation were high…and it didn’t disappoint! I can’t eat dairy on the days that I sing, so I had to time my visit carefully, but this place was magical. I was told it was a frozen yogurt shop with greek yogurt as the base flavor for everything, along with some vegan options. The outside wasn’t anything remarkable, but the inside! It was so cute and the flavors were impressive, especially the super fruit and the original greek yogurt. They boast the largest available toppings of any frozen yogurt shop in Canada, and they don’t disappoint. They have everything from apple pie to golden oreos to warm white chocolate sauce and everything in between.
Radio Row
Music feels like it runs through my veins right along with my blood, so I love meeting other people who are passionate about music! Radio row is one of the most fun parts of CCMA because I get to see all the incredible people who work at radio stations and bring our music to listeners everywhere. I get to catch up with friends, and meet new friends, all while talking about the CCMAs and music in general! Here are some photos from the day. What’s your favorite radio station?
On Air in London
Last year I went to visit the BX93 office with my first single to country radio. They had me play in the office and get to know some of the great people at the station. This year they had me come and play for an audience of listeners while broadcasting our interview live on air! It was such a great experience getting to play Bad Habit and an unreleased song for the crowd. Afterwards we had a meet and greet with some fans and got to snap a few pictures, I’ll be sharing that post later this week. It was one of my favorite ways to spend any day!
