BLOGKnR tour with Jann Arden
- Feb 19, 2012
I'm sitting in my hotel room at Magnolia in Victoria, BC this morning listening to one of my long time favorite songs Unloved by Jann Arden on my Iphone with a huge smile on my face. Well, actually, I'm rehearsing......Not only is this day 1 of our Western Canadian tour supporting Jann on 9 of her dates but Keith and I have been asked to share the stage with her every night for her song Unloved. I have to tell you, this is such a huge honor for me because Jann Arden is one of the reasons why I am a singer songwriter today. She inspired me SO much when I first started out as an artist in so many ways. She is such a talent and one of Canada's legends.......I went to all her concerts when she'd come to Winnipeg; I would cry when she'd perform her most amazing ballads like Good Mother or Hanging by a Thread and I'd laugh my face off in between songs with her comedic humor. Going to her shows was always like a roller coaster ride in a really great way; she took me to so many places at her concerts. I always said I was gonna be just like her when I grew up!! Isn't life so funny and magical? Here I am now preparing to share the stage with her tonight. How unbelievable is that? Keith and I have been covering Unloved for years and now we get to sing it with the one and only for the next 9 nights. I am very grateful for this moment and will definitely be sharing it with you! xoxo R
