On the heels of 20 European shows, Australia’s roots/blues artist Toby is returning to Canada for her Spring Has Sprung Tour. April will mark her ninth visit to Canada, where she’ll perform ten shows in BC and Alberta – including Canmore (April 7) and Calgary (April 9). She’s also posted a great series of music videos on youtube – all for the same song! She performs the new song Don’t Go with her Dutch band in a studio… on a stage… outside… in a boat… in ‘the loo’… in a playpen… fun stuff! www.tobymusic.com.au

PROCRASTINATION TIP-OF-THE-MONTH
Spring has sprung! And that means it’s technically time to do all the spring cleaning. But then again, since spring sprung early, and mean old winter very well COULD make a vicious return, you’d be well advised to wait it out for a few more weeks to make sure spring is actually here for real. Especially when it comes to yard work, THAT should definitely wait a few more weeks for sure. Because the last thing you want Mother Nature to do is winter all over your nice clean spring yard…
