Announcing the Raw Music Tour

Ok ya know what? I'm on fire, Baby. What a difference a day makes.

A couple months ago, when I was deep into my raw self, I mentioned in passing to my friend Steph that during my music tour from Vancouver to Ontario, I was intending to video tape a 'raw roadtrip' documentary at the same time.

You know, stuff like preparing a raw meal roadside from an Saskatchewan corn field, finding organic produce in remote towns... just raw tales from the road, as they happened... mixed with performance footage, etc. A raw musician on tour.

Well yesterday, I saw my dear friend again and she mentioned how excited she was at the thought of this, and to be honest, as I've been recording our cd and gigging and putting my attention on that stuff, I'd let that idea fade away along with the good eatin'.

But her enthusiasm got me thinking again...

I just got another email from her, and this time she really flicked her bic under me! It was in perfect timing with having just started booking the tour...and getting a booking on the first try!

As I sit here, just a day after my woeful update, I can't think of a better way to have incentive to be raw again than to commit to taking raw footage during the tour. So thank you, Steph.

Speaking of the tour:

We are booking from Vancouver to Ontario for a few weeks at the end of summer/beginning of fall. Here is a schedule of dates:

B.C. - August 28-Sept 2

Alberta - Sept 3-6

Saskatchewan - Sept 7-10

Manitoba - Sept 11-13

Northern Ontario - Sept 14-17

S.Western Ontario - Sept 18-26

Then on our return trip, the dates are:

Northern Ontario - Sept 27 -30

Manitoba - Oct 1-3

Saskatchewan Oct 4-6

Alberta - Oct 7-10

B.C. - Oct 11 - 14

The goal is to have our new cd in our hot little hands by the end of August so we can hit the dusty trail in the big ol' 'Burban and gig our way to Ontario and back again.

Like our last tour, we are open, available, and ready for all sorts of gigs...from coffeehouses to concert halls...which brings us to living room concerts!

If you'd like to experience our music in a very personal way, please visit the link below to read some information about house concerts.

All we need is your living room, a little (raw) snackie, and a few dozen of your friends kicking in a donation. Please ask us about this - it's a LOT of fun!

Update from the Heart

So where IS this freakin' Rawkin'?? Honestly!!

Well here I am. Not very raw, but still rockin'!! Stay with me as I work out all the bugs in this raw eating thing, would ya??

I've turned my focus on music these days, and am in the studio recording our second album. Album. Do people say that anymore? CD.

I'm bookin' our act and giggin' all over the place, which is nothin' but fun!! Eating pub food is fun at the time, but I'm never glad I did it, and always sorry the next day when I wake up pasty mouthed and kickin' myself.

So right now I'm more of a do as I say not as I do type of person with regards to raw. So here's what I say: Stay raw. The emotional toll SAD takes is so much shittier than any fleeting craving. Some days I am staying raw until dinner, then having a steamed dinner, which is how this whole thing started a couple years ago. Some days I don't have time to eat and then find myself starving...and we all know that's when we grab 'anything'. And lately, because of this recording & performing, we are all over the place, and any 'routine' is shot. All excuses and all true. Probably the biggest factor is being in the cycle of SAD. SAD begets SAD...it spirals into wanting more food, more often.

Overall, because my focus is on such a joyous endeavour like music, I'm not 'down' per se, but I know that with eating the way I am comes the blahs of crappy, low energy...which sets up endless cycles...and on and on it goes. When I get off this merry go round (as I always do) I will welcome the vibrancy once again. It will match my high level of productivity.

I'm exploring this emotional eating...seeing how it aligns with re-entering the music business. The phrase No shit, Sherlock just popped into my mind. :)

Tomorrow I have an EFT session and I hope to get to the bottom of it because I want to align my outer joy with my inner joy again.

In any case, am still aiming at raw! Just wish the target would hold still!!

;)
