Some of you may be wondering what I've been up to since the Ontario album release in June. I had a busy summer and was able to hike the Rockies while visiting my new niece, followed by a visit to Montreal to spend some quality time with my best friend. It's always nice to see more of this beautiful country in which we live.

The fall brought with it some corporate gigs and my annual appearance at the Canadian Big Band Celebration which was loads of fun. In October, I met with my producer, John "Beetle" Bailey and Music Industry Veteran, Peter Cardinali, President of Alma Records, Canada. Together, we have decided that my album will be released in February through Alma Records/Universal in Canada, Alma Records/eOne in the USA, Membran in Germany and also in Japan.

So, what does this mean exactly? In a nutshell, the music will land on many more ears. It's all very exciting and some great opportunities are no doubt on the horizon. Right now, we're putting a team together to spread the word, including a publicist in both Canada and the USA. This will help connect me with bloggers, radio and other media and social media networks. Only time will tell what happens after February.

The music industry continues to change and is a challenging industry to pursue, but this is the natural next step for me. So, with your continued encouragement and support, I move forward. Below is a list of some of my upcoming shows. Many of my events are not advertised since they are private or corporate functions. However, if you'd like to host a unique event for your friends and have me entertain your guests (think Christmas/New Year's or other parties), I will bring live entertainment to your home. Please email me privately if you or someone you know is interested. You can always co-host a party and share the cost or charge a minimal ticket price. I'd be happy to brainstorm ideas.

In addition, I’m also offering free shipping to my mailing list members who order two plus albums (within Canada) for Christmas gifts or just because you want to help spread the music. Please contact me to receive this discount!

Thanks for following my journey and I look forward to hearing from you all.

Warmly,
Rebecca
