I am SO grateful to the Salt Spring community for welcoming me with open arms into its music scene and revitalizing my love for jazz in all its forms! This island really is a magic healer. 😍 Stoked to be collaborating with some fantastic players in a few different projects, some of which are performing this week! If you’re on island, check out @simonmillerdmuse ‘s new quartet at All Saints tomorrow (Thursday, March 20) at 7:00pm where we’ll be performing his enigmatic ambient jazz. I’m also playing with Iain Duncan’s trio at the new Harbour House series tonight, 7-9pm. Hope to see you out and about! 🎶💃

Happy International Women’s Day!

It’s more important than ever to lift up the women and girls around us! I’m writing this before heading off to lead a gathering for Girl Guides, 15 girls aged 7/8 that I’m glad will be able to find a safe haven together and learn how to navigate this world with bravery and compassion. 

I’m also stoked to be a part of the digital marketing rollout for the brand new women-led Canadian jazz label @rhearecords with their new release “Roots” by the Ostara Project. Their new single “Raven Haven” was just released yesterday! These are some of the finest players in Canada - go have a listen on your favourite platform! 🤩

I’m so lucky and grateful to be surrounded by many strong, creative, and resilient women and girls who are shaping the reality for women I want to participate in. One where our resilience, strength, and contributions to society are valued, respected, and celebrated. Here’s to women, today and every day!
