[cue music] The year was 2010. The future was mine…When my best buddy Jeremy Sauer moved to the interior of British Columbia in April of 2010 my trio suddenly became a duo. It was Elizabeth Curry and me – an artistic upheaval, but one we were approaching with optimism. I was wrapping up working as a lighting tech and was prepared to embark on a new career path. In service of this, Beth and I had to completely recreate a setlist that relied heavily on Jeremy’s piano playing and instead embrace whatever I could reasonably mash out of my guitar. We were doing it, but it was an adjustment.
This story brought back memories, I was there that year and fell in love with you and Beth! Went to see you at all the stages. Unfortunately, I missed the impromptu performance at the end. Did anyone catch it on video? Still following your career and hope to see you again soon.
I was so happy to see your name in the lineup for the festival. I took Des to one when she was in elementary school. We both loved it. I can’t wait to (hopefully) take the grandkids this year. For certain Darwin and I will be there❤️
I hope this year is as or more memorable as the first one. Can’t wait.
OMG! I have tears! This was my first time hearing you and Beth and I was totally in love with your voice and Beth's bass playing! It feels like yesterday! I am so so thrilled that you will be on the main stage! Bought our weekend passes for the Folk Festival yesterday when this was announced! Looking so forward to getting back to outdoor live music!!❤❤❤
So often we wish for opportunities and when they are given to us we can sometimes feel overwhelmed or think, "what the heck was I thinking!!" Sort of a "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it." In your case, fate knew you were ready and in spite of your apprehension, you proved you were ready.....and more.
Great story! Looking forward to seeing you at the 2022 Festival.
I look forward to the stories from this year’s festival!

Interesting. We've been talking with Little Miss Higgins about a house concert here at Wits End.
What a great story — and to have shared a bill with Prine! It's nice that he got the crowd warmed up for you.
