So happy to have been on the road for two awesome weeks of touring with the Bombadils! Many thanks to the very generous audiences and hosts in Lyndon, Randolph, Whallonsburg, Richmond, Montreal, Ottawa, Brooklyn, Rockport, and Portland.
This afternoon, I was a guest with the Trad Ensemble at the Halifax Institute of Traditional and Early Music. It was a great group of musicians, and I had so much fun sharing some tunes with them!
The Maritime Conservatory has started a free concert series featuring faculty members of the school, the "Family Discovery Concert Series". On Sunday, Kathleen Doherty and I had a blast performing in the first one, presenting harp and dance renditions of some Irish airs. There will be two more performances in the series this year: April 3, and May 1, both at 2pm in the Concert Hall.
Many thanks to textura for these very thoughtful and beautiful words about the album!

On March 4th, I'm looking forward to holding an album release show at the Bus Stop Theatre! I'll be playing through some solo pieces from the album as well as playing tunes with a few special guests.
Capacity is very limited, and the show is sold out. If you'd like to add your name to the waiting list, you can do so here, and I'll notify you if a spot opens up or if capacity changes.

The Bombadils have a new video for Losing Track of Time, including a little harp and bass from myself and Gabriella. Looking forward to some touring with the Bombadils in April!
On March 4th, I'll be releasing a new album of solo harp music, "The Bend in the Light"! The album includes some Irish traditional tunes and some original compositions, but is mostly comprised of newly written tunes by musicians I've encountered through playing Irish traditional music. Pre-orders are now possible on bandcamp, where you can listen to a preview track - a set of hopjigs. I'm so excited to share this music!
Re-jigged put together a beautiful program of artists for a St. Brigid's Day concert on Saturday. The concert is still available to view for a limited time! Both Ragged Robin and Harpaflöjt were on the program.
Today, I'm delighted to release this video of two beautiful new tunes by Olivia Barrett - Northern Journey and Dawn Dance. The video was created by the wonderful Melanie Stone and was shot on a summer's day on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
The Bombadils released a new single yesterday, "Losing Track of Time". I really enjoyed working with them to make a harp part for the track! Check out the lyric video, below.
