Flying One Eyed Foxes and Pictou Article
Iy’s the By dar bringin yer wit news!!……WHAT? This is what I learned from being Screetched in…..a whole other story…..patience centipede……..The grasshopper gets way too much attention :).
Just wanted to drop a couple of fun links from the road travels. I was recently in Pictou, Nova Scotia, had a great time at an open mic there, and a newspaper article came of it. Click on the photo of me and the boys (Mike and Brent) from Carver’s to read it:
Also, I am delighted to say I have revived “A Bard’s Blog,” a place I write about really random insightful or hilariously silly encounters I have on my musical journey. I have a plethora of new stories to share from my eastern Canada experience thus far, so keep an eye out for it if you need a good laugh or pick me up. The latest story is about my encounter with a Flying One Eyed Fox from PEI. Click on the culprit below to find out what that means………
Enjoy!
Update from the road, and official walking start in PEI July 1st!
It’s been two weeks on the road/train tracks, and much longer since I have written anything to update, so here is a quick one to lay some ground for what’s to come……
Jen Miller and I had an amazing experience riding the Via Rail train from Vancouver to Toronto. What a lovely way to see the country’s landscape diversity, and a great opportunity to connect with travelers from all around the world.
To light speed summarize the train….ate incredible food, slept in cool transforming rooms (ie. beds magically fold out of the walls and ceilings of the rooms), jammed with kids, a violinist, shakers, singers, riot controlled an impending Via Rail strike in Winnipeg, and probably walked 10km on the train itself!
Since hitting Toronto, we’ve played 3 venue gigs, and have one more tomorrow night at The Central, then off on the train to Halifax this Friday. It’s been fantastic to catch up with family and friends not seen for some time, and I thank you all for the amazing experiences. I even got to ride the Maid of the Mist at Niagra Falls…Got quite the shower!
Lastly, my walking tour starts in less than 1 week!!! I am beginning on Canada in PEI, and can’t wait to begin this adventure. Jen and I have a couple shows together as our duo on PEI July 6th/7th, and then I continue walking PEI. We’ll be touring Nova Scotia/New Brunswick together until end of July, and the 1 whole week performing on the Marine Atlantic Ferry between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia (SEE SHOW LIST HERE). As of August 7th….I’ll be in Newfoundland solo. Going to hang around for the Music Festival Aug.9-11th, and then open stroll until end of September. If you’re around Newfoundland in August, or Nova Scotia in September and feel like a stroll, watch “WALK WITH MICHAEL TAB” on the website, or give me an email. More to come after the walk begins next week!!
