East Van -》Some of the best folks a gal from Regina could ever hope to know! Special thanks to @ricki.valentine for always making me feel like part of the team and this wicked gifted hat! Big props to @jaydouglas for being a pillar of strength holding it down for East Vancouver Minor Hockey. I'll be reuniting with some of the @blucollarbrigade for the @canucks game this Saturday as part of the @larscheiders contingent. Last hockey game in Canada for a little while 😢🤘this Preds fan will still be cheering for Canucks of course. 😉 #hockeyislife 🏒❤ #gocanucksgo (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuJkbwKlxt-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mdcgye2salw1

I have an email list because I can make sure you have ALL the info on new releases or music, tour dates, merch sales, my whereabouts... etc., through an email blast that includes it all in one location, instead of multiple social media posts that you may or may not even see. Some of you might want to know about these things (some of you could care less I realize this lol). BUT, if you want to keep in touch through a direct source (me!), you can click the link in my instgram bio to sign up for my email list. I got 2019 tour dates yo! 🤘 lol.... 📸@beyond.the.photograph #carparelliguitars #carparelli https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFG-3Dnmy7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4hq68pzxhzug

Still reflecting under the light... Vancouver is always both the bully, the friend, the teacher, and the lesson. But when there is a moment of pure sunshine, you f***ing seize it with mortal reckless abandon before it is again but a distant memory. ❤ lots of LOVE to you all today. 💜 (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt4fbJslfYX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c0khob6z04p1

LINK IN BIO to watch the full cover of the Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac song "Landslide" we filmed out in the mountains of Revelstoke, British Columbia but in the depths of a fire lit lodge lol. There were a few landslides...(well avalanches) while I was there actually... both figuratively and literally. Strange how those things line up sometimes... Filmed, edited, Produced by the talented @ilhamchew_adventures He taught me about many positives that can come from collaboration in creativity! Go give him a follow to see some of his AMAZING work!

GOOD MORNING SASKATCHEWAN!!!! First photo is the temperature outside in Farenheit for the Americans. 2nd photo is temperature in Celsius. The whole post together is damn cold anyway you slice it, and I'm off to the heart specialist this morning to make sure I'm in the clear to play hockey forever more, so coffee isn't allowed this morning and I'm awake at 7am wondering how anyone could ever survive without hot caffeine in this town. Without a cup of joe, this just feels like criminal punishment. I'm sorry for all I've done! Please don't take hockey and coffee away from me lord! Or at least leave me just one of those things, so when I pair it with music I can still sing my favourite Meat Loaf song "2 out of 3 ain't bad!" #ticker #theoldticker #nocoffee #nocaffeine #brutalcold #canadiancold #prairiewinter #saskatchewan #saskywinter #getmeoutofhere #survival #hockeyhealth #hockeyculture #coffeeculturecanada #canadianwinter #heartcheckup (at Regina, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btn1SHuFigJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2ma07gm2qpru

CLICK on the link in my insta bio to watch and hear the lyrics from the full Global Regina Morning Show performance I did yesterday. My grandma turned 89 years young this past Sunday and then Monday morning I got to sing this song I wrote about her mother - Eliza Jane - who came from a long line of Metis on both sides of her family (both French & Anglo) and furtrading families turned farmers when the furtrade died out - and who had left Red River in the early 1900s to find work on a farm near Unity, Saskatchewan. There is more to the story than that... but it is in the song.... (at Global Regina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOhGeLnUHc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ibraufty4ey6

Played a new song about my Metis great grandmother Eliza Jane today on the Global Morning show. Will find the video once they post it to share with yall. Singing at 8am after an hour and a half of sleep, but it's worth it to sing this song here on Regina when the song is also about this dang snowed in town and this dang colonial history we have here. P.s. it also makes it easier when the morning news guy is a total catch. I need to get up early and watch this broadcast more haha 💕!!! 😄 👌 😍😘🤩 #metis #metishistory #saskatchewan #reginasaskatchewan #globalmorningshow #globalregina #elizajane #prairiehistory #governmenttown #redriver #globalnews #morningshow #songwriter #prairiesongs (at Global Regina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtLqbq6Arw1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cm5lfx4xzvx0
