Hello Everyone!
We just finished a lovely three week tour through the mid-west United States which ended with a hometown show in Winnipeg. We ran through a corn maze, ate cheese curds, had the best ice cream of our lives, and met some truly amazing and generous people along the way. We also are thrilled to share the news that Ron Sawchuk won a Western Canadian Music award for Best Album Design of the year for Live at The Mauch Chunk Opera House. Congratulations to Ron!
We wanted to let you know about some upcoming Jennys's solo performances.
Next week, Ruth Moody will embark on a Canadian solo tour. She'll start in Duncan, BC and make her way across the country, playing shows in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec. The tour will end with a final show and CD Release Party in Winnipeg on December 9, 2010. You can find out information about those dates at Ruth's website.
Also, Heather Masse will be joining A Prairie Home Companion this weekend for a show in St. Paul, MN on Oct. 30, 2010. Details about that show can be found at: PHC's website .
As always, thanks so much supporting our music and being the best fans out there.
Take good care,
