Great news! 

I'll be playing the legendary singer-songwriter series GIRLS+ TO THE FRONT on Wednesday, May 8th! Details here:

Well, 2024 - here we are. 

You arrived in a muted evening of hockey games and chicken wings, with an early bedtime, but let's not let that set the tone for the year, shall we? This is the year we…

So the interwebs have been all aflutter over the last few days about the concept of boy math versus girl math (see nerdy note below). I'm not going to enter into that fray, but I am going to riff on…

Here's another advantage of trying to make a go of music when you're older: curveballs tend to throw you off-track less. 

I thought I had everything sorted out: I had the merch all sorted into a small Ikea bag and…

Quick news flash…

With the anarchy and moral issues over at the former bird app (to say nothing of the ads for crypto and God knows what), I'm going to take a chance on Bluesky. Come on over to follow…

This came up in my Facebook memories this morning, and though I originally wrote it about the Republican candidate in the 2016 US election, I think it's still valid when talking about power in the arts. (Bonus points if you…

It's no understatement to say that the pandemic really did a number on the mental health of a lot of people, but it really hit hard with a lot of my guy friends. This one is for the men who…

I'm back! And I survived doing TWO open mics this August, both of which went really well, and one of which you can see on my YouTube channel. (You have subscribed to the YouTube channel, haven't you?)

I've been asked…

Get your comfy shoes and sunscreen out:  Osgoode Porchfest is this weekend! If you only catch one festival this summer, make sure this is the one (and I'm not just saying that because I'm playing there)!

PorchFest is a great…

Up until the time I was maybe, um, about forty, I didn't understand the phenomenon of guys going from Lothario to loathing after hearing something they didn't like. If you genuinely liked someone, and wanted to be with them, why…

Hey there!

It's been a while since I last posted on the blog (sorry), and I was thinking that I haven't done a Stuff I Like entry in quite a while. So today, here's an entry about three books that…

A funny anecdote about Click that happened yesterday:

I have the security settings set fairly high on my Instagram page, mostly because my tolerance for trolling and bull has gone right out the window in the past few years. As…

The CDs are in! (Big thanks to Chris Saracino at Standard Media, here in Ottawa, for taking care of everything.)

Here's how to get your hands on a copy of the CD, complete with trademark Sevesque rambling!

I charted! 

My very first chart entry! TART's first appearance on an honest-to-God Top Thirty chart! 

Holy crap!

Note to self: unless you want to spend most of morning grinning and dancing around the apartment, do not check the !earshot…

Just a quick note to express my gratitude and thanks for your support this past Bandcamp Friday. It doesn't seem like much, but between downloads and t-shirt sales, I made $108! Which isn't a lot of money in the grand…

One of the problems with being a female nerd is that when your fifteen minutes of fame are coming up, you may not realize it's happening. Or that it's happening for the right reasons. 

When I came back from Spain…

I spent a lot of Sundays during the pandemic having staring contests with the ceiling. I never won. The ceiling always won, especially the staring contests that happened right after lunch on Sundays. Sometimes this would result in naps. Oftentimes…

We'll resume our TART Trip tomorrow, when we dig into the stories behind the last two songs on the albums. In the meantime, allow me to offer you a little bit of a musical interlude, for your Sunday enjoyment. I've…

If you're ever tempted to engage in online dating (and, really, it should not be called “online dating”; it should be called…like…"online introductions" or something more accurate), I have three words for you:

GOOGLE. IMAGE. SEARCH.

Google Image Search will…

I spent the summer of 2019 house-sitting some friends' apartment in Malasaña, in downtown Madrid, Spain. For those of you who don't know Madrid, Malasaña is the neighborhood right next to Chueca, Madrid's so-called "gay neighborhood", so when Gay Pride…

Finally!

After forty years of false starts, misplaced dreams, inaction and - finally - a damn pandemic, I've made it happen: I've released my first EP of original songs, called TART. 

The name comes from a conversation I had…

One of the many disadvantages of being an indie artist (and there are more than a few) is that any and all marketing that needs to be done is up to you. Market segmentation? Insights? Workable data? Go nuts! The…

I realize that New Year's Day was last week, but it's taken me this long to get my thoughts together about what I want the year to look like. I'm blaming this delay on therapy and not living in an…

I'm no stranger to quitting jobs. I have no idea how many jobs I've actually held since I started working forty years ago, but the number is definitely up there. And the number almost went up by one this summer…
