Happy New Year!!!
2005 was an amazing year full of friends, family, music and travels. It's looking like 2006 is shaping up to be the same, which I'm very excited about. Vinnick Sheppard Harte and Betty & the Bobs have just about completed new albums, and Rick Fines and I are going to be recording an album together this spring. A few shows I have coming up are Stuart McLean's Vinyl Cafe spring tour, I'm heading to Dunkerque, France to perform with Les Grande Dame du Blues, which includes blues vocalists Dawn Tyler Watson, Kim Richardson and Tony Lynn Washington; I've also been invited to perform with Aengus Finnan, Jory Nash and others on the Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Tour. There are more show details on my website if you want to take a peek - www.suzievinnick.com/gigs.html .
I have a few shows coming up this month in Ontario - here are the details:
- I have a solo show at the Tranzac (292 Brunswick Ave., tel: 416-923-8137) on Tuesday the 17th. It's an early one - takes place from 7:00pm until 9:30pm, or so. There is no cover charge, but there is 'pass the hat'. I'm going to try a few new tunes out, and if I'm feeling gutsy enough, try out a new (old) guitar - I wrangled a Goldtone Weissenborn copy a couple years ago and have a song that I think will work sweetly on it.
- The Marigolds released our debut CD last November at Hugh's Room and on Saturday January 21 will be featured at the Acoustic Harvest Folk Club Concert Series. My friend Sarah Johnston will be starting the night off; Sarah is 16 and an incredibly talented singer/songwriter from Guelph! She'll be performing some songs from her upcoming album, "Incomplete Wandering". Here are the show details: WHEN: Sat. Jan. 21/06, 8pm, $15, Birchcliff Bluffs United Church, 33 East Rd. corner of Kingston Rd. & Warden Ave. in east end Toronto, Info & Tix: 416-264-2235. Show starts at 8:00pm.
- Sunday the 22nd at 8:00pm I'm doing a duo show with Rick Fines in Haliburton - Northern Lights Performing Arts Pavilion, Haliburton Highlands Secondary School. Rick and I will be performing a few of our new co-writes, plus songs we've had fun playing together over the years.
- on Friday the 27th, Rick Fines and I are performing in Kingston at the LiveWire Concert Series.
- Saturday the 28th I'll be singing a duet with Paul Reddick at Gregg Lawless's Duets show at Hugh's Room in Toronto. We'll also be doing a mini Songs in the Key of Canada and The Unforgettable Whachamacallits will be doing a short set as well (I play bass and sing in both of these projects).
Feel free to drop me a quick note if you have any questions, or would rather not be on the ol' mailing list.
Hope to see you soon, and I wish you and yours all the best in this New Year!!
Take care,
Suzie V.
