 NEWS Tuesday, May 5 Kate is home from a two month North American Tour with Great Lake Swimmers. Needless to say the tour was fantastic. Big thanks to the Swimmers for everything and then some. Thanks also to those who sang along, asked questions (ha) and purchased albums. Hopefully there will be some new tour dates soon? In the meantime, it's back to the chalk board (substitute teaching) - gasp. Thankfully it is springtime and there is lots to do - an album (or two) need tending to, as does the garden and a couple other top secret items. In other news, On High took home 'Album of the Year' at the Northern Ontario Music and Film Awards. Kate, Howe (Gelb) and Dave (Draves) couldn't be happier. Thank you to MFM for their continued support. Keep checking back for new album details, dare we say October?
