The Rainbow show is part of the Acoustic Afternoon Concert Series with Maxim Cossette. Show starts at 4 p.m., freewill contribution.
February 2010:
This month was memorable for the fantastic show at Café Namasthé in Ormstown QC. I was simply overwhelmed by the attentiveness and generosity of the packed house. This little cafe offers live music every Friday night. Worth checking out if you're ever in town...
January 2010:
Elizabeth is performing at this month's Monthly Mess, put on by the folks at Indyish. As usual there will be an eclectic group of performers, including Tasha Cyr and Erik Virtanen (of the Darling DeMaes) and Satellite Maps. January 15th at Mainline Theatre, 3997 St. Laurent in Montreal.
Check out the Midnight Poutine podcast mention!
December 2009:
Elizabeth will be opening for Mary Stewart on her 'Snowflakes & Cupcakes' tour on December 7th at Umi Café (610 Somerset West). She will be joined by Jason Sonier on cello, bass, percussion and flute.
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!
February 2009:
