In my home country, I'm often asked, "Why do you tour more in Europe than you do in The United States?" The simple answer is because Europe sort of 'found and embraced' me first, and has since kept calling on me, year after year, a lot of times offering tour dates a year in advance! That's humbling to me and a real honor and privilege in this biz!

The European audience took a chance on me, allowing me to really "grow up" on stage in front of them. With each growing audience, I feel I've grown a little more as an artist and as a human being. I still most certainly have a long way to go, but that's become the truly meaningful part of this road life. People of Europe, I remain eternally grateful to you for your undying love and support. I will be back soon enough with a new album and a whole new story to share! Stay tuned!

Now it's time for me to take a chance here in my own back yard per se and I sure hope I can count on all of you here at home to take a chance on me too!

That's why, this winter and spring, I took a break from some of my favorite European people and places to take that leap back home again on the West Coast of the USA.

It was almost exactly one year ago that I had the pleasure of playing Los Angeles for only the second time in my life, then I got to play in other great cities, such as, San Francisco, Seattle, Yakima, Portland and Tacoma for the very first time. That tour happened just weeks after the shocking loss of my dear brother Daniel, which absolutely wrecked me.

But the reception was such a wonderful, empowering surprise to me. I figured that so many of you would have no idea who I was, and yet I was so delighted and surprised by how many of you actually DID! I lit up when I saw so many of you singing along with my songs and even wearing my out-of-print t-shirts at each show!

Be still a girl's happy, humbled heart! What a way to heal.

Now, here I go again on this still rocky road of unfamiliar terrain, believing with all my heart that I made the right call taking a chance on my own great country and coming back to you beautiful West Coast souls!

So here's where to find me and I look forward to rocking your soul and embracing you again, or meeting you for the first time!
