Toronto Kickoff!!!

Hi there!

Melissa here from Toronto HQ. Let's just say ELEMENTAL is the perfect name for this tour, as it seems the forces of nature are attempting to conspire against indie music ... floods, tornadoes, frogs, extreme heat, computer problems ...

But the Toronto kickoff for the Elemental Tour at the Cameron House defeated all these for a phenomenal night of music! The elements will not hold this group of musicians back!!!

Each artist brought a very unique and thoroughy entertaining twist to their performances. Caroline's really developed songs that I recalled hearing in their fetal stages (before she moved back to BC) into beautiful little babies! This was the first time I'd met Chris B., and seen him perform, and I have to say, he was sincere and compelling. Catherine, again, a first for me, and what a powerhouse voice. To both Catherine and Chris, Toronto needs to see and hear more of you!!! Vile Richard (a.k.a. Olaf and Chris S.) ended the night on a fun note, complete with the requisite Neil Young cover which they invited all the performers on stage for.

Pics will follow from the evening, so those of you that weren't there can drool at all the fun we had!

Here's hoping the rest of the tour is kickin' some Canadian tail!!! And here's to seeing good friends again, and making new friends!

Over & Out,
Melissa
