Happy New Year!
Holy $#!+, it’s 2012! When did that happen? I don’t know about you, but to me it seems like 2011 started a mere 6 months or so ago. Oh well. I’m not complaining. 2011 was a great year for me & my music—a major tour of the Midwest & the South, a packed summer concert series that resulted in my first-ever live album, a transcontinental relocation, a couple of international shows & a little Pacific Northwest tour to top it all off. It was kind of tiring just writing that down. Not to worry, however-2012 promises to be even bigger and better. See below for details:
Winter:
- February Pacific Northwest Mini-Tour Spectacular- dates scheduled in Seattle, Portland, and Tumwater/Olympia. Head to roxicopland.com for the specifics.
- Lunch Unplugged, Des Moines, IA. I’m coming back for a visit to play the Civic Center’s ‘Lunch Unplugged’ Series at the Temple Theater on friday, Feb. 17th. Tix go on sale TOMORROW – Click here for details. Speaking of Iowa -right now I have an open date in my calendar while I’m there (sat. Feb. 18th), so if any of you Iowans are interested in booking me for a house concert that night, let me know & we can chat details.
Spring/Summer:
- NEW ACOUSTIC SOLO ALBUM RELEASE!!!! Hooray. Keep an eye out for next month’s newsletter. The preorders are about to begin…
- NEW ALBUM RELEASE TOUR!!!! My biggest tour yet. Throw a dart at a map of North American and you’ve got a damn good chance of hitting a city I’ll be playing in. You better believe I’ll be hitting you up, Pacific Northwest. You aren’t getting away either, Midwest. I know the South thinks I’ve forgotten about it, but it’s just not true, and in May I’ll prove it. East Coast: I see you. Don’t think I don’t. With any luck, you might even see me too.
- Repatriation: Turns out I’m moving back to the USA. More specifically, I’m apparently moving to the city with too many nicknames. Indeed, Wikipedia tells me my new hometown has been known as Cream City, Brew City, Beer City, Brew Town, Beertown, The Mil, MKE, The City of Festivals, and Deutsch-Athen (German Athens). Nicknames one through four are my faves. I also saw someone on twitter refer to it as the Seattle of Wisconsin. I don’t know what that means, but I’m ready to find out.
You’re going to have to wait to hear about all the exciting fall and winter details. I’m a musician. Do you really think I plan that far in advance?
By the way – I wanted to thank you all for making 2011 so much fun, and give you a little taste of the new album. From now until Sunday, Jan. 9th you can get a free download off the new album, no strings attached – it’s the brand new acoustic version of a tune you just might be familiar with: In Love with Trouble. Just head to my Facebook Fan Page and hit up the Bandpage section. If you put your cursor anywhere near the track, it’ll give you the option to download it. That’s it. Enjoy. Thanks for being awesome.
Last, but not least, just to make you jealous. Here’s a picture of me enjoying a New Years Eve sailing lesson in Miami. It was 81 degrees. I hope your holidays were as much fun as mine.
Cheers,
Roxi
