We are have been very blessed to be nominated for Young Performer of the Year this year at the CFMA (Canadian Folk Music Awards). Words cannot describe how cool it feels to be even considered for something so established, and nation wide. It kinda feels like Christmas has come early… without the snow… except we’re in Victoria so it never snows on Christmas… maybe this year. Any who! Unfortunately the award ceremony is in New Brunswick this weekend and we do not have the funds to get there, but we wish to send our regards and luck to all the other nominees.

A quick update about what else has been happening in our lives, Sandy works at Aldo so we’re cashing in on all the discounted shoes! Brown leather for everyone! As well as last night we opened for Hey Ocean and The Belle Game in Parksville which was unreal! Such an awesome crowd and two highly talented, incredible bands that we both love and respect. Our next show coming up is at The Rio in Vancouver in 10 days, with our great friend Good For Grapes and our soon to be great friends Community Trees who are releasing their new CD that night. It’s gonna be exciting times for sure. AND, coming up in December we’ll be playing in the Jon and Roy Holiday Special show in Victoria with some truly unbelievable acts such as: Jon and Roy, Frazey Ford (Be Good Tanyas), Kim Churchill, and Wake Owl…. wicked line-up.

This last update you didn’t hear from us but, we may or may not be going into a studio in Vancouver to record our feature length album this February….

To sum it all up: we wish it snowed in Victoria, we are still poor musicians, Sandy works at Aldo, and we wish we could have fit a Lord of The Rings reference in here somewhere. That wraps it up!

Love you all from the deepest chasms of our glowing hearts
