October 2009:
Next show will be an hour outside Ottawa/Montreal in Vankleek Hill (did you know it's the gingerbread capital of Ontario?) on November 7th as part of Erica Taylor's vernissage. Arbor Gallery is at 36 Home St., open noon-5, music at 1 and 3 p.m. If you want to make a day of it, check out the Victorian home tour or Beau's brewery.
September 2009:
Where did summer go? There was that charming house show in July with Devin Johnstone and Capital Grass that evolved into an impromptu yoga party, but the rest is a blur.
The plan for the future involves a very long album (21 songs) that will be debuted on YouTube. These songs will be darker and stranger than ever before. If the reception on YouTube is good (and one thing you can count on in YouTube Land is honest comments), they will be professionally recorded at a later date.
And if you haven't already joined, you are cordially invited to sign up for the Elizabeth Bruce mailing list on Facebook. 105 members and counting!
