Jocelyn's back! (Me.)
I've been scouring the east coast for fossils of shipwrecks & the music that comes alongside those ghosts. Found more than I bargained for. This is my story.

Laura Peek & the Winning Hearts - The Verdict
Thrush Hermit - Western Dreamz

The Cat Empire - Call Me Home
(mandatory OzCon, and the theme to midnight on the Halifax harbour in full moon)
Newfoundland!:
Great Big Sea - Excursion Around the Bay
Roundelay - Clarity for a Cost
Matt Hornell & The Diamond Minds - Red Crescent
Mark Bragg - Your Boy's Home

Coming home:

I was so overwhelmed by what I found out east. Found a second home in Nova Scotia & St John's - especially St John's. Eager to go back. The music community there is very tight knit & the whole city stinks of what I love about Winnipeg. Older older, and with more singalongs and fish.
Apologies to Charlie for hauling anchor & having a time without her in the past couple weeks, and subsequently walking around like I own the place during this show. Next week there'll be more of us & less of my ego. And this week I hardly even stuttered!
