It's been a great year so far and we have a lot of tour dates lined up for the year. We'll be leaving in two days for the May/June/July tour. We'll be doing a cafe show today (May 13) in Saugerties, NY at The Muddy Cup an then it's off to Maryland for the Faerie Festival over the weekend. We had a blast at Spoutwood at the beginning of the month and we hope to see alot of familiar faces at MDFF.
Also, I am very excited that we have a spot in the new EF Faezine, you can read my story under the heading "The Nomadic Notebook"

Well, as many have posted already, FaerieCon was a blast! We ended up performing six sets throughout the weekend, two at the convention center and four at the mystical and haunted upstairs Gypsy Stage of the Trocadero Theatre. THANK YOU to all of you out there that joined us upstairs, it was sooooo fun to hear you singing CARAVAN...CARAVAN and BUM BUM BA DA DA BA DA DA DA DUM... dancing and rocking out to the drums! We were blessed also to be joined by two very beautiful and talented dancers Trisha and Gretchen. a photo of their performance to OH GYPSY is below.
Also, thanks to all of you that came by our booth : )
Until next time!
Trisha and Gretchen at the convention center performance of "Oh Gypsy" from the At the Carnival Ecelctique CD.
It was great hearing you play upstairs at the theatre, and everyone was in a trance over your performance! Giovanna and I were so fortunate to be next to the stage and listen to you at the convention center! Thanks for the amazing performance and for making our day brighter!
It was fun meeting you both in person and even more fun hearing you perform in person. You have a great energy which seems to just spill out into the crowd.
Hello my jumping jack flash friends, thinking of you on your awesome tour and sending strengthening wishes too ;o) I truly appreciate you taking the time to share some of your wonderful experiences in our EF Faezine through the Nomadic Notebook, thank you very kindly Samantha =))) I'm delighting in our mad May here as I edit the Summer edition, the wild flowers are so pretty around our old cottage and very sustaining, for me and the bees *smiles and jiggy dances* Hugs to you and charming sir Scott,
I really love this, the title song - jeez, there's so much I love about this new disc. Yay, three days at Spoutwood! This time I'll definitely be able to get away from the booth for one of the shows!
