Beep Beep! Here I go again!

I am SO very excited to be hitting the road this month for a tour of Ontario and surrounding areas (Check my tour schedule!). I’ll be hitting Ottawa, Wakefield, Kingston, Belleville, Toronto and Montreal! Lots of spots to catch me if you’re in the area! It’d be great to see you out at a show. This is also a big trip for me because I get to spin my new set of wheels on the road for her first ever road trip! Yay! Her name is ‘Dina’ and she’s Dino Blue (that’s actually the name of her coloring from the Honda dealer and I love it!). So if you’re in the area, look me up! Or if you see a blue flash fly by the 401, that’s me*!

[*Meaghan Blanchard would like to reiterate that she will not be speeding on the 401, just so Mom knows! ]

I can’t believe that it’s already October and I’m booking Christmas and New Years gigs! Amazing! I hardly get to enjoy my pumpkin spice latte’s without thinking about peppermint spiced lattes! It’s amazing how much forward thinking and planning goes into a music career. When I first started out in my career, I had a hard time thinking from gig to gig, and now I feel like a real business woman! Now if only I had a beautiful big mahogany desk with my name on it. Someday right!

Something about the fall always puts my creative brain in gear. I made a big list yesterday of about 10 projects I want to do over the next couple of months besides plugging my new album! It’s really exciting! Psssst. I’m thinking about throwing a Tom Petty Tribute Night! Full Moon Fever say what?! And that’s just one of my ideas! The business side of the music business can get so dry sometimes, I’ve made up my mind to flex my creative muscle whenever I can. If only for the ’feelsy goodsies’ you get from it!!

Hey Folks!

Just wanted to update yas on my great weekend co-writing with England’s Banjo Pickin man Mr. Dan Walsh! These past few days have been great!
My Nanny graciously donated her cottage so that we could go out and enjoy a nice quiet serene writing space and also surprised us with home made bread and Banana. Ugh, ya ….I know. I’m spoiled. I have the best Nanny in the world.

So Dan and I wrote two great songs that we’ll be sharing at the Music PEI Showcase this week (after my SOLD OUT “She’s Gonna Fly” CD launch on Friday of course!).
Here’s a few shots of me and tom (happy to have my fella home from his tour xox), and tasty treats Nanny made us and then a shot of ‘Dan’ of Green Gables and myself on the porch at the cottage!

Hope ya’ll are well!
See you from the stage!

With ‘Dan’ of Green Gables….

September is here lovelies and you know what that means?!

I’m OFFICIALLY releasing my third collection of songs (my first full length album) on September. 20th! The CD release party will be at the beautiful Mackenzie Theatre in Charlottetown, PEI. The show starts at 8pm and there are tickets available for you to snag! If you just click on the red button to the right, you will be directed to the Confederation Center box office where a nice person on the other line will be sure to direct you and get you the best seat. The best seats are the ones where you can see up my nose, but hey….if you like the back of the room; that’s fine too!

Other than the CD launch, there is LOTS going on this month. I’m super stoked to be hitting the road for an East Coast tour with my friend Dan Walsh from the UK. We take off Sept.21st (the day after the CD release party) on this little jaunt; and Dan Walsh is just fantastic. He’s a banjo pickin, song slingin Englishman and we’ll be hitting dates all over the Maritimes. Make sure you check my gig calendar to see if we’re swinging by anywhere close to you!

I’m also heading out on the ole open road for a solo tour through to Ontario and Quebec! I’m super excited to jump in my blue car (Dina is her name and she is Dino Blue) and head out that way again. I’m also going to be hitting up the OCFF conference which is always a great time. I’ll be doing some late night unofficial showcases in the hotel rooms, so if you’re around, keep an eye out for my red curly locks and my white cowgirl boots!

Lots going on!
Exciting times!
Hope you’re all doing well. Bring on the fall!
