Hey Folks,

Sorry to not have reported in in a bit - I've been coming and going from Toronto all summer! My musical travels have taken me as far west as Vancouver Island, north to Whitehorse, YK, east to Mont Tremblant, QC and south to Hillsdale, NY with a whole bunch of wonderful places in between. And some exciting news - I will doing my first show in New York City on Saturday, October 1st opening for John Hammond as part of the Madison Square Music - Studio Series - I'm very excited about this! I saw John Hammond perform in Saskatoon as a teenager and then again when I lived in Ottawa - I'm very honored to get to open for him.

Me 'n' Mabel has been doing well for me - again, great big thanks to everyone for their support in helping getting it recorded and out there into the world! The album is being featured on B.B. King's Bluesville on Sirius/XM for a 4th week now as part of "Ready for the Next Rack"; it's also receiving airplay on the CBC and other blues shows and stations in Canada, the US and internationally in the Netherlands, Israel and France to name a few.

In completely different news I decided a few months ago to do my first triathlon! It will be taking place on Sat. September 3rd at Guelph Lake - I'm going to be doing the Try-A-Tri which involves a 375m swim, a 10km bike ride and a 2.5km run. Training has been going well - my mantra is slow but steady :-)

I've attached some info in the sidebar about the shows I'm doing in August and September - further details are on my website. I've included a bit more info below about tomorrow night's Cultura show.

I hope you're having a great summer - thanks so much for your support and I will write again soon.

Take care,

Suzie

Happy Here received a review in the LCBO's summer edition of "Food & Drink" - many thanks to Anne Lough for the lovely review!

Here it is for those of you not in Ontario:

Songs for Lazy Days

Suzie Vinnick/Happy Here, 2008, Outside Music, Folk/Roots

This album of gentle, rootsy folk-pop seems tuned to the rhythms of summer – a boat bobbing on the waves, a bough swaying in the breeze. Saskatoon raised, Toronto-based Suzie Vinnick is yet another gem in the rich sea of gifted Canadian singer-songwriters. True to her sophomore collection’s title, she sure sounds Happy Here, but without an ounce of syrup; the songs are fresh and smartly observed, packed with bouncy hooks you’ll be humming for days. Fans of Shawn Colvin, Joni Mitchell and Rickie Lee Jones will agree that Suzie Vinnick is one to watch.
