Tiny Lights Festival in Ymir, BC started the summer off so beautifully that it truly feels like an endless summer. The festival happens on the second weekend of June in a small town in the Kootenays and is without a doubt a special and inspiring time. Here are some quick snippets of sights witnessed at one of my favorite festivals in Canada.
Christa Couture sings true and open.
Ymir Hotel proprietor mixing our chosen poisons.

Mind of a Snail!
This coming week the delightful and charming Christa Couture and I are taking to the road for some springtime gallivanting. We will be gracing stages in Penticton, Coldstream, Kaslo, Kimberley, and Nelson.
I will have copies of my new EP with me. Each of them signed and numbered – only 100 to go around…..and less than that now.
Tell your friends and lovers, tell your sisters and brothers!

P.S. I have been doing a bit of processing in the realm of the heart and thus the release recap and the Toronto tales have yet to find their way into print. Soon. By the new moon of spring I promise, when I return from this tour I will share my remembrances on the last few months.
I made the news in the Rocky Mountains.
Kari and Tobias treated us like Hansel and Gretel at The Glue Factory.
Radar and I did a photo shoot!
Below are shots by Drew Koshiw.
We visited Johnnie Ninety Nine at a Bison Ranch!
We enjoyed the sun in Edmonton.
Kenan showed off his new hat and glasses.
We reunited with the Rockies!
Played for some wonderful people in Jasper!
Saw some wildlife!
Stopped for a snowball fight and to find learn about an Ancient Forest!
Tonight we play Prince George. Tomorrow Smithers….and then we are homeward bound!
Did I mention that we stayed in a Co-Op Mansion in Winnipeg!
Found a less loved home along the highway….
Enjoyed the brilliant sky….
Met a sweet pup named Carl.
Stumbled upon the Fancy Hat Dumpster…
And entered the mountains!
Last night we celebrated Jeff Andrew’s birthday at Rag Pickers Viva Libra Theatre in Winnipeg. We introduced Winnipeg to Jack Garton, of Maria In The Shower’s special birthday song. We made a canal and we stomped and sang –
“Oh Vagina!
Oh ooo, oh vagina!
Blessed be the vagina
You were evicted from!”
The people of the Peg really took to the task and made a most impressive display of squishing our squirming Jeff Andrew on his way through the human tunnel. Thank you, Winnipeg! I assure you that you made Mr. Andrew’s Birthday Spectacular!
If you would like to view any of the performances from last night, you can do so at Rag Pickets Ustream Channel
