i just got back from a road trip to Whitehorse. 6 days of driving for 3 days in town was a lot, but the views up and down were stunning. it didn’t hit 33 below until we left town, and i am so glad i bought that parka at a yard sale last summer for $5. is it northern people or small town people in general that are so friendly, welcoming and helpful? now it’s back back home (so happy to see my bed again) and back to work. the finishing touches being put on the new website, the above mentioned video ap, hearing back from festivals thus booking summer shows and working on new songs is keeping me busy these days. i did gaze out my window for awhile yesterday and noticed the bare branches that i left over a week ago, are now sporting tiny green leaves, and many a pregnant bud, a couple of which were already pushing out young yellow petals. spring is coming!

welcome to the new site! the beginings of it. there is much more to come, but in the meantime, in celebration of all the latest and greatest, we are happy to unveil the work in progress that is christacouture.com. you can now listen to some tracks from the new album! which, by the way, is called “Fell Out of Oz” and is in canadian stores now. not in canada, or don’t feel like getting up? you can also order it online at www.maxmusic.ca or www.amazon.ca.

the cd release party was incredible fun – thank you to everyone who came – and the album has been doing great since. i am so grateful to you darlings, for the emails, comments and phone calls about the album. it took me so bloody long to get it out there and it’s a truly wonderful warm feeling to have it be so well received. thank you for listening.

have a wander, drop me a line, sing sweetly little birds!

see you soon*
