Saskatoon! Sept 16 I'm kicking off the season at D'lish by Tish Cafe. Come & join us. Every seat is a good seat in this space, but they're limited - grab one while they last💥 #piano #saskatoon
The Butterfly! A staple at prairie wedding dances for years. The fiddler at our wedding knew it & folks loved it🕺💥 #butterfly #dance #saskatchewan #wedding
A few more pics from our wedding last weekend! The gardens and flowers, great folks who joined us, the music and dancing, the Butterfly, the pianos, all of it. Such a fun night. We’re still kind of buzzing❤️💥🕺#wedding #saskatchewan

In this summer heat hold on to your holly cuz our friends at Casino Regina have just announced tickets are on sale for TWO nights of my "Very Prairie Christmas" show, Dec 12 & 13! #regina #christmas mytickets.casinoregina.com/eventperform...
Here’s the scoop: we like ice cream a lot. The Canada Food Guide erred in not giving it its own food group. #icecream #40degreescelcius
Holy smokes our wedding is coming up July 25! We got engaged on the coast of Northern Ireland 18 months to the day of the wedding. Love is the greatest thing. Let’s get married Mister Templeton!❤️ #marryme #engagement #love #ireland
Regina, Regina, Regina! I've not done a show in Regina in a long time, so it's about time. Sept 24 is the day and we're doing the show at Eastside United Church (Arcola & Edinburgh). Tickets are on sale: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Can't wait for this hometown evening!! #piano #regina
Stained my front deck driftwood grey & the plants are loving life. This old place was built 1910 by CP rail for a worker family. I bought it 2008 as a bonafide crack house (pic#2). Elbow grease, some money & lots of staring at colour palletes have really helped it along 🏡 #home
Performed 2 concerts in an old prairie grain elevator! Audience arrived by train on the Southern Prairie Railway. Such a Saskatchewan afternoon #piano #saskatchewan #train #history
I'm headed to Little Britain Ontario for a show! (Kawartha Lakes, Lindsay, Port Perry) If you'll be in this neck of the woods, come on out to the concert. Also, there are buttertarts galore in this part of Ontario. I see many bakery stops in my future... haha. Aug 15, 7pm. RSVP required.
So grateful to be awarded tour support from FACTORCanada! Taking live music on the road across Canada is so expensive (with rental costs, fees, hotels, gas, promotions, etc). Funding awards go a long way to keeping live music at accessible ticket prices for everyone. Huge thk you! #factorfunded
Played 2 shows in the old 1922 grain elevator in Horizon SK- Audiences arrived by train on the Southern Prairie Railway. Thx everyone for selling out both shows! I Love shining a light on Saskatchewan heritage. Thx Kevin Klemenz for letting us use the elevator. Watch 4 more next year! #saskatchewan
Got to perform a show in Regina Airport’s historic Hangar #4, Celebrating the 80th anniversary of Prairie Flying Service. Fun fact: the 1st commercial pilot license in Canada was issued to a Regina man, Roland Groome (1920). Also I received a gift of homemade butter tart square! #yqr
Man oh man this year‘s birthday celebration just keeps going! Michael was in the field on my birthday so Sunday he baked me this killer rhubarb cheesecake with sour cream vanilla topping. Sorry I can’t hear you over the sound of me ignoring my diet. Wow,thx for this mister! I’m spoiled #cheesecake
Just 2 grooms ordering the booze for our July wedding! No one will go thirsty lol. I love that the Rouleau liquor store is part of the insurance office in the same insurance/liquor building as Corner Gas! We Procured some samples as part of our strict quality control measures🤣 #wedding
Feeling lucky - at a show in Humboldt Saskatchewan I received 2 gifts of homemade baking. Hannah baked me, homemade brownies & Andy baked me a Christmas pudding from his Belfast mom’s recipe. Holy smokes! I’ll be adding some extra kilometre to my running route. Thank you! #bake
Regina SK house prices are bananas ! Offers waaaay over asking, no conditions, it’s the Wild West! #realestate #yqr
