It is always such a treat to share my songs in such a beautiful sacred space, and with a community who truly appreciates my songs. As an artists, there is no better feeling than knowing your songs touch hearts and inspire hope.
Looking forward to May 28th with my Tree-O / Simon Kendall on Piano and Finn Manniche on cello. I’ll have just sang in full voice for hours the night before, at the Rickshaw with GD/BC. It will be interesting to see what that does to my voice that has pretty minimal work outs like that ….for years.

GD/BC is a Grateful Dead Tribute I have been quietly playing with for a few years now. My initial thoughts were “been there done that” over 30 years ago, as one of the founding members of Ontario FatCats. I wasn’t sure I needed to juggle 3 musical projects, though my hubby would beg to differ ;) Going from nice early shows with no drums for the last 2 decades to 2 drummers, percussion, electric instruments and looooong sets that have you packing out of the venue around 2am….was a bit of a hard sell. After our sold out show at the historic Cobalt in Vancouver this spring and being picked up by Timbre Concert productions, the musicians outstanding talent and kindness toward me, the fun vibes on stage and the super “dead”dicated fans …They have officially captured my heart. The Hot Club of Mars are not near as active as we have been in the past and my songwriting is officially NUMBER ONE. However, I will continue to add the harmony “sugar” to GD/BD and the Dead’s extensive songbook, for the foreseeable future.
This wee festival may turn in to an annual event. So come on out and shake your bones to some jam-band classics and share the dancefloor with the fun-loving community that is growling around us.
Early Bird tickets sold out very quickly, so don’t delay in getting yours today and join us “for a real good time”

A fine table has been set for a delicious feast of sounds. A long awaited follow up to my 2001 debut release Shadow of a Star is underway. A second collection of songs will finally be honoured with another outstanding group of Canadian musicians. I am so grateful to have this #dreamteam of super talented folks supporting the next chapter of my musical journey. On bass, sitar and cello – the return of George Koller. On piano – my solid sideman for the last 10 yrs Simon Kendall. On drums – the exceptional Davide DiRenzo. An old friend of mine leads the team as produce, engineer, multi-instrumentalist. Les Cooper will join me at the helm kicking off bedtracks at Union Sound Studios in Toronto this month. I know this team will bring their heart and soul to my project. A real dream come true for me and I can’t wait to share my new songs all dressed up for your ears…and your heart.

I’m beyond thrilled to have the outstanding intuition, heart and soul of George Koller joining me once again in the studio. This time honouring my second collection of songs for a 2023 release. His magical talent was such a blessing on my 2001 release Shadow of a Star. I had hired him for one day in the studio and he ended up staying on right to the completion as co-producer with me. So very very grateful.
I can hardly believe the #dreamteam coming together to join me in the studio.
More on that soon!

For many years I have used the same branding for the songwriting side of my career.
My first solo record only had a capital D on the front with my full name on the spine.
I have been told over and over that my full name is just lovely so…I’m trying something new.
I figure with a last name like Knight…it might be fun to play with that a little.
An ever evolving musical journey. Excited for this next chapter!
