We made it! 2011 is over and done already starting to collect cobwebs and dust bunnies and drift back into the dark corners of our memories. 2012 is here all sparkly and vibrant still smelling of things exciting, fresh and utterly new! I'm so very excited for what this New Year holds and so happy to have you all here on this musical journey with me! I think this is the year to dance more often, sing at the top of your lungs (even if just in your shower) and let those close to you know how deliciously important they are to your being. Before I dance away singing songs and spouting words of love and admiration, here is a small glimpse into what can be expected in this first month of our sparkly new 2012... The tail of 2011 Friday, January 6th at Crossroads in Bellevue, WA Between the Bed Sheets & Turpentine now at Sonic Boom in Ballard, WA The head of 2012 The tail end of 2011 We made a couple top 10 lists for 2011, which I think, is a pretty exciting way to end the year.

Sonic Boom Ballard: 2209 NW Market Street, Seattle, WA The head of 2012 I'm sticking close to home for the next few months for shows in and around the state of Washington, but I will be doing a little bit of traveling in March to OREGON which I will announce just as soon as I am able. And for your folks overseas in EUROPE our spring tour is getting rather full of fabulous shows in venues all over Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. I'll announce dates in the next couple months. And with that I thank you all so so so much for being here and for being so so so fabulously and deliciously important to me and my being. I'm off to summon my biggest and loudest singing voice followed by some serious dance moves (probably something pogo like from the 80's cause I hear the 80's are making a come back). Thank you for reading to the end, thank you for being on this list and thank you for being such an amazing source of inspiration to me.
