Dear friends,
it’s been a long time since I wrote all of you. After our Europe gigs last December the band and I basically came home and took a big break. I’ve spent the first part of 2009 exercising a whole lot between yoga classes and running, and really been taking the time to develop new song ideas with members of the band. Last year was a real whirlwind and it felt good to take a step back, breath, and reboot! So much happened and now that I’ve had a chance to process it, I find myself reveling in how fortunate I’ve been to lead the life I lead and meet so many amazing people in the process. I am so grateful to be surrounded by many talented people so generous with themselves, they make it possible for me to share myself and my art with others. I can only hope that things will continue to grow as they have and that we can move forward with more opportunities that will allow us to continue doing what we love whether on a very modest or grand scale. I hope you’ll continue to ride the proverbial train with us.
There is lots coming up and so I thought the first thing to mention would be our next big hometown show here in Montreal. Expect to hear many new songs in this full band performance! It will be Friday, June 5th at the Cabaret du Musee Juste Pour Rire. Tickets are on sale at www.admission.com and you can also pick them up at the Cabaret Box Office located at 2111 Saint Laurent corner Sherbrooke Street.

To stay more connected, we’ve begun a YouTube channel of sorts. You’ll be able to see and hear exclusive recordings, footage and many mini interviews with a lot of the wonderful people we’ve had a chance to work with. It’ll be a fun little informal way for us to share information with you about people we think are awesome and worth knowing more about. So please, do return to the page often and feel free to send us your remarks! An introductory clip from yours truly will be coming soon, I just have to film it first, but until then, please enjoy a live off the floor recording we recently did at Montreal’s amazing Studio Victor! There are live recordings of songs from both our eps “Red Rows” & “Wine Flows”
Here is the YouTube Channel Address: www.youtube.com/amandamabrotv
So that’s it for now, but there will much more to come!
Loads of love, Amanda xo
