I had SUCH a great time at the Niagara In the Soil Festival in St. Catharines. Thanks to everyone at Niagara Artist Centre and Suitcase in Point for putting on a superb weekend! Met so many great people! Saw so much great art and music!! A highlight was Deanna Jones and her amazing The Keith Richards One Woman Show! If she's ever in your neck o' the woods it is a not-to-be-missed show!!

I played at the festival launch on Friday night and though it was a little chilly on the outdoor stage, the wonderful audience members who took part in my human string art project warmed my heart!! Here are some photos taken by the people who participated:

And here's a photo of my performance, taken by Ron. The visuals behind me were done by my dear Etienne, who was VJing and mixing live video of me playing as well as of the audience!!

so POP Montreal was pretty great (*understatement*). the galactique showcase was amazing! and on top of that i got to see the one and only Mary Margaret O'Hara perform live for the first time!!

there's going to be a video coming out with live footage from the galactique showcase, but in the meantime, here are some photos. thanks to the galactique family for welcoming me with open arms... they really are a wonderful and talented and wonderfully talented group of people! here they are in order of appearance:
