The creation of a recording is exhilarating, thrilling, daunting, and everything in between. And, the experience is totally different every time. While there's so much to plan and prepare, the best things arrive magically on their own. Even greater things happen when you ask someone to join you on the journey.

Join this journey if you think you will get No.8 when it comes out, consider ordering No. 8 now when it really helps! I am looking to fans and friends again to support this exciting new project in exchange for some wonderful gifts and opportunities

Recording update:
Almost done! Alice has to do her keys on 3 tunes in January and it will be fait de complet! Please send her healing vibes and prayers she has been struggling with a thyroid condition for a long while but it has been particularly harsh the past month so as soon as she is recovered Fran "crazy fingers" Fraser will grace us with her enviable talents!!
Last Thursday Andrew "Huggybear" Huggard (Leonard and the Lab Rats,Olliebollen Trio) blew us away with his harmonica. That man is a true bluester and I am beyond thrilled to have him on the album!! He shone a brilliance and gave the tunes a whole extra dimension.
Monday, Adam gives another stellar lead guitar treatment on more of the songs and I begin background and harmony vocals on some of the tracks too. The song productions are rich, emotional and groove centered with twists and turns on every corner. Just when you think you know what's coming we have a surprise in store for you on this album. Of all my albums, which I love each one for their special qualities and times in my life, I have to say this one seems to be most like me yet. I can't wait to share this album with you!!

Dec. 13 In studio recording the lead guitar tracks today, wowowow Adam has absolute killer chops!

Dec. 11 Was back in the studio this week recorded the final vocals for the album Thursday, later that night sadly my 20 year old lovable cat passed away at home from crf but I was so glad to be beside him as he said farewell. He lived a good life and was loved very much. RIP Nanuk Fraser-Braun 1990-2010 Heartbroken to say farewell but so grateful for all the joy and comfort our little Nanny cat gave.



Dec. 3
Another great day in the studio sang my absolute heart and guts out...I think I may have blown a vocal chord on the Only One as it was a no holding back kinda day ...pure raw and as emotional as I can deliver.

Dec. 2
