I'm sure proud of this kid. Every rehearsal, every gig, every time we jam, she just keeps getting better. We'll be sharing the stage tonight at a sold out show in Brandon. Looking forward to sharing the Hilltop stage together at Countryfest.

As I'm sure a lot of you know, between songs at my shows, I love telling jokes. Well... A few of my jokes went viral on TikTok. I got an email from BiggDealTalentCo and they're bringing me on tour! I'll be touring an hour set of all my finest stories from Southern Manitoba. Who knows, maybe you're in one. It feels great for my genius to finally be recognized. It's tough being the funniest and most attractive person in every room I walk into. But pressure makes diamonds and leads to opportunities like these. Thanks for all your support.

We're sure excited to be hitting the road this week. We had to reschedule our Lakehouse date. We'll see you in May instead.
We also have some awesome shows coming up that we can't announce quite yet. Stay tuned, these are going to be big ones!

I had such a great day yesterday with Nicole and Desirée. We did presentations all day about Métis culture that included storytelling, playing fiddle music, showing off furs and beadwork, and a jigging demonstration. Thank you Riverview School for having us!
I started doing Métis presentations with my Grandpa Eldon when I was still in middle school. It feels pretty darn cool to be running them on my own now.

Thanks everyone for your votes on the . Sweatshirts is sitting at No.6! Could it make the top 5? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Sweatshirts has been the little song that could. I was warned that sending this to the radio wouldn't work out that well, since it sounds too old. And you what, they were right. It's still finding success in other ways. Every time I see a couple 2-stepping to this song it fills my cup over.
Sweatshirts is now sitting at number 14 on the Indigenous Music Countdown. If you have some free time, I'd love your help to try and get this song into the top 10.
That's all for now. Recording and tour announcements coming soon!

I have reason to believe this will be both a hoot and a holler.
