Hi.

I guess it's been a minute, hasn't it?

The global pandemic, outrageously increasing costs in concert ticket prices, significantly more responsibility at work, and just a hectic life in general have all conspired to keep me away from this site for much, much longer than I ever intended to be away.

That's not to say I haven't been to / recorded any concerts in the interim; maybe it's worth noting, without getting into detail (I'll leave that for future entries), that things haven't gone exactly to plan with any of them. These difficulties were definitely a gigantic obstacle in getting my motivation reignited.

I wish I could say this one started off any differently.

Kathleen Edwards @ Xponential Festival

Here's yet another professionally recorded festival performance from Kathleen Edwards and company!

Originally captured last summer at Xponential Festival in Philadelphia, and as such, has a handful of songs not performed during the 2012 festival circuit as posted in the Bonaroo a few days ago.

Chief among them are the two new songs, then-previews from her now-freshly released album Total Freedom, which only recently has come to see the light of day.

. : : August 14, 2020 : : .

Future readers (hello from the past!) may not immediately connect the dots, but summer of 2020 is ... different. We're in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the doors to public places have been shuttered indefinitely. Live music venues, legally unable to assemble audiences and artists but still obligated to pay rent, are closing up shop all over the world. Restaurants struggle with having been shut down for months; some have begun re-opening with extremely limiting restrictions, others have likewise been unable to stay afloat and closed their doors permanently.

Kathleen Edwards, six years after retiring from music and opening a coffee shop in the Ottawa suburb of Stittsville, picked one hell of a time to try and transition back to music.

I'm going to try something a little bit different.

Given the current COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of on-going live concerts, and my ever-shrinking budget, I'm going to start sharing some recordings made by other fans from time-to-time.

Where else to start, but with perennial favourite Kathleen Edwards, who is being celebrated upon the release of her first album in eight years, Total Freedom.
