Check out my snappy song for summer and links to Rock Barra Retreat
I’ve got a new song out on Bandcamp today. Yay!
This song is the first release on my new record due out in early 2027. I am really delighted with how this album is shaping up. The record features a dozen fabulous performers from Prince Edward Island, Canada. At Bandcamp you can listen for free, buy the track for a toonie, send it to a friend and explore all my releases. I am weighing my options for streaming at the moment, searching for an ethical route. Write me with your thoughts on this. For now Bandcamp is a great option where artists can actually make money. Imagine! Here’s the Bandcamp link. Kindly share this song with your family and friends.
Summer is in full swing at Rock Barra Artist Retreat with a full list of concerts and workshops. On Sunday, July 26, we have a double bill with the wonderful traditional Celtic singer Colette Cheverie and myself. Tickets are $20 at the door or purchase online with an e-transfer to info@rockbarraretreat.com.
Jazz at Baba’s and Art Opening at The Gallery Cafe
It never rains but it pours! It’s going to be a busy week. On Thursday, May 28th, I’ll be joining four of my favourite jazz musicians for an evening of music at the iconic Baba’s in Charlottetown. Showtime is 8:00. Come early and enjoy the fabulous food.
On the following Thursday, June 4th from 6-8pm, my wonderful friend visual artist Haley Lewis and I will be launching Uncharted an art opening at The Gallery Cafe on Great George St. This will be my first art show. I am beyond excited.
Between these two events my producer Andrew MacIsaac and I will start mixing my new record with Adam Gallant.
And speaking of rain it has been a cold wet spring here on Prince Edward Island, a tough one for farmers and fishermen. Hopefully it will warm up soon and I’ll be writing to you about our summer events at Rock Barra Artist Retreat.
Take care folks, and expect miracles,
Teresa
Hello 2026
Happy 2026, Folks.
It’s a messy time on Planet Earth and I don’t quite understand why I feel optimistic and excited for 2026, but I do, the gift of being an artist I suppose. We all have an obligation to do what we can to make it a kinder more peaceful place. That work is more important than ever and perhaps there’s no better way than to be creative. It is a rebellious act. Sing, dance, write, that’s what’s makes us human. It’s what feeds our souls, builds communities and prepares us to meet extreme challenges.
2026 is going to be a wild ride for me. I am collaborating with some amazing Prince Edward Island musicians for an album set to be released in the fall. In addition my friend Haley Lewis and I will be showing our art work at the Gallery Cafe in Old Charlottetown June, July and August. I’m delighted to be doing this show with Haley. She is a well established and beloved painter, this will be my first exhibition. I can’t wait to share my whimsical abstract pieces with you.
Rock Barra Artist Retreat continues to grow by leaps and bounds. This year we will have our usual concert series, art and healing workshops and special projects. We just celebrated 25 years and will be featured on the long standing C.B.C. television series Land and Sea.
My partner Curtis and I are off to Mexico for the month of February. We go to a tiny fishing village south of Puerto Vallarta called Melaque. This town is a mecca for older Canadians including some Yukon musicians I’ve known for years.
One final piece of news, I’ve just been granted the Music PEI Lifetime Achievement Award. I feel blessed.
Cheers all,
Teresa
