hi everyone,
i am writing this on board a 747 heading home from a trip to Prague, and Paris.
I went to Prague to perform with Lou Reed at a very special event.
It was a gala event celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Velvet Revolution and the fall of the Iron Curtain.
It was held by former President Vaclav Havel, who invited Lou, Joan Baez, Suzanne Vega and Renee Fleming to perform.
It was quite a thrill and honor to be a part of this evening, and the people of the Czech Republic were very passionate and celebratory.
We performed Lou's songs "I'm waiting for my man," "Dirty Blvd.," and "Guardian Angel," as a trio (along with Fernando Saunders on bass).
We then played PERFECT DAY with Renee Fleming and the orchestra..
So now back to Toronto to rehearse with Ty, Jim, and Ed.
We are getting ready for these upcoming Christmas shows.
Should be fun.
i hope we see you somewhere along the way...
bye, kev
Hi there ladies fans...
How are your summers going? i am in Los Angeles, sitting by the pool at the hotel, listening to some slow surf music,
which David Lynch wrote the lyrics for.. i found this cd at Amoeba records today..man i love going there .
I played here last night with the Thinbuckle trio. We played at a little club called the Mint. thanks to everyone who came out to
the show.. we really appreciate the support out here on the road.. we don't get to come out and play very often , but we sure
started this little run off with a fun show. We will be in DC,Philly, Boston and New York over the next week...But right now I have a night off and i am just
sitting here by the pool, reflecting on the last few months. There have been so many changes
in the BNL world it is dizzying. It has been tough, but at the end of the day I still love music and feel blessed to have played and to still play with so many
talented people. The new BNL record is coming along nicely , and the process has been harmonious and exciting.. we are trying new combinations and ideas
and it is sounding cool. I have also had the great honour of playing in Lou Reed's band , as well as Laurie Anderson's. These experiences have been
absolute sunshine in my life....i also finally went to Africa and sat with mountain gorillas in the jungles of Rwanda.. I will post a photo when i figure out how to!
My new record is out in canada and will come out in the US on july 28th.. I hope if you feel inclined you will check it out...
Alright,, thankyou for all of the support through these changes, it means alot to us... take it easy... kev
