This is so cool! The lovely folks at the legendary Kitsilano Showboat put my photo on the cover of this year's souvenir brouchure. Wow!
I had such a blast playing there as always. Huge thanks to Barry, Kosta and the gang for always making me feel so rock 'n roll :)
I LOVE OUTDOOR GIGS!
One of the many things I love about my job is playing shows in unusual places. This past weekend was the North Vancouver Community Arts Council's annual "Art In The Garden Tour" and what lovely weather we had!
Musicians and visual artists get the opportunity to show their work in the garden of a North Van resident. A great way to meet local artists and build community. The gardens and gardeners were lovely hosts and made me feel so welcome. What lovely gardens they were!
I was so happy to be part of it again this year. Thanks NVCAC x
NEW LOD MUSIC VIDEO FOR "SHOW ME"
From the upcoming album "Little Stories" the LOD Tourism Bureau brings you "Show Me"!!!
Filmed around Vancouver this gives you a little flavor of this beautiful place that I call home and also what it might be like to hang out with me for an afternoon as I run around the city!
Directed by Angel McNamara, who also directed the vid for "Happy", the idea was to have Vancouver be the backdrop in a way not ordinarily seen. I think it looks marvelous :)

LOD FEATURED IN THE KLIFFSEDGE BLOG
I was recently invited to be interviewed by the lovely Karen Liscomb for KliffsEdge.com: A great blog about a band's songwriting journey. She asked me about my decision to be a working musician, my music and the process among other things...

PICS FROM THE GIG AT TREES IN GASTOWN
Finally! I got the pics sorted from the Trees show last month, and what a show it was! So many folks came down - thank you so much for your support.
I put together a collage so you can get a sense of the vibe. It was my first show playing only piano so many songs had not been heard before. Of course there were the Land of Deborah Frisbee and CD Giveaways... It was a blast!
LOD IN THEV3H.COM!
This is most excellent! My music video for "Happy" was shot in Port Moody, BC and as a result their local community website/blog did an interview with me.

LOD in the UK
Over Christmas I was in the UK. It's fun being a tourist in your own country, so I decided to share some of my trip with you. I made a short video showing some of the things I loved.
It's only 3 minutes long and it will give you a little taste of Blighty.
Enjoy!
I'm thrilled to share that I was in 24Hours yesterday. Thanks to Sarah Rowland for her lovely words: "... the sweet acoustic musings of The Land of Deborah..." :)
