My partner Lewis and I wrote a new song for our upcoming performance at Banjofest 2019 in Guelph!
It’s a live video capture of a song about memory loss, aging, and the challenge of maintaining our connections to family and friends. My heart goes out to you if it’s something you’re dealing with in your life.
We’re performing on Sunday, March 10th at 2pm. Details and tickets available at Eventbrite
Feel free to share this video or send your comments on Facebook. I would LOVE that!

Singing with, and warming up for David Francey will definitely be a highlight! After the tour, Tannis will end up at the “Canadian Folk Music Awards” in Calgary, Alberta to celebrate the nomination of three albums that she sang on:
