The Bluebird Cafe

On October 10, 2016 I got to fulfill a dream of mine that has been in my mind from the first time I visited Nashville.  The Bluebird Cafe is an extremely well known venue in Nashville and to musicians all over the world, people travel from everywhere for an opportunity to play this intimate and historic venue.  I was given the opportunity to play a round at the Bluebird from a great friend and that dream was realized!  The whole performance was surreal, because while playing I was taking in the experience and the fact that I was living out a piece of my big goals.  My friends came out to support me, my Mum was there, and the whole night was simply magical!

Playing Portland

I read an article about how Portland Maine often was overlooked for the more famous Portland Oregon, which instantly made me curious about it!  Then when I got the chance to play in Portland I couldn’t wait to visit.  Driving through Maine was something I wanted and it was so cool to be in one of the most northern areas on the east coast of the US.  We stumbled into one of the top 10 donut shops in America that specialized in potato donuts…I’ll be sharing THAT experience in my next blog post!  All in all, from the show, dinner, exploring the town, and the donuts, I wouldn’t mind visiting more of Maine!

Live Music In Burlington Vermont

I love touring.  I love traveling to new cities and meeting new people at shows, it’s all so fun.  This show in Burlington was great and so intimate compared to the bigger shows I play with my full band.  During the day I get to hang and explore, but on show days I’m always really excited for the actual show to start! Arriving at the venue, sound checking, and beginning the set is always so exciting!

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!

Performing In Muskoka

At the end of May I got to play in my hometown which is always a treat.  This was my first time playing at Deerhurst Resort and it was a great time.  Deerhurst is a great resort that emphasizes the natural beauty of northern Canada.  The audience was great, and the other artists in the lineup made the whole night a great experience. I played some new songs, and it’s always great to see what songs resonate with the audience, it varies from show to show.  Some songs always go over well, but then others hit harder with specific crowds.   

Stevie Jewel at The Mint LA

Last week I went to Los Angeles to play a show at The Mint LA! It was so exciting and I love promoting my new single Off The Market in such cool venues and cities.  The Mint is iconic and I loved the intimate size, but that is was big enough to put on a loud, vivacious show!  Playing a show is a part of my career that I love.  I love playing songs for an audience and I love it when I hear from someone afterwards that a particular song really spoke to them.  From hanging out in the greenroom to actually playing the show I had a lot of fun! Don’t worry LA, I’ll be back to play!
