Hello From Calgary...again! (we are thinking we should probably buy a house , since we are here more then we are Ontario!)

We spent 10 full days at the Stampede filled with Cowboys, corndogs and Bull riding:

Then we packed up our suitcases and headed to Red Deer, Alberta to perform in their "Westerner Days". It was our first time in Red Deer. We did not see any Deer that were red, but we did meet some fantastic people.

We shared a stage with a group called "Dirty Dishes" from Toronto....man can these girls sing! Check out their website: http://www.dirty-dishes.ca/

Plus we got to spend lots of time with our great friend "Bandaloni". Yes, that is a full band strapped onto his back......and it sounds every bit as good. http://www.bandaloni.com/

Now we are back in Calgary enjoying some days off. Yesterday we went to the zoo. We saw Giraffes:

a Baby Elephant...awwwww


and my personal favorite...a baby Gorilla. It was the size of a real baby and the cutest thing in the whole world.

We also saw Hippos, but they were moving to much to get a good picture. I think they were doing the Hippo Stomp...which reminds me..

.As a preview to our new CD we are releasing "Frieda" for a free download. Just click here and save to your computer: http://www.splashnboots.com/

Tomorrow we are heading to Banff for some hiking and to see Lake Louise in the summer. Can't wait! Then off to Strathmore, Alberta for 9 shows!

Happy Summer to all. Stay tuned for more bloggin fun

Love,

Taes and Nick

Stampede fun begins!

Hello from the greatest outdoor show on Earth!
Yup..that's right…the Calgary Stammmmpeeede.

We are just about to begin our seventh day of shows here. YAHOOO!

The last few weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind.
Before we left home we had shows in Cobourg, which we almost rained out…but not quite.

Then we went to Edmonton for Canada Day:

Then we drove to Calgary and have been Stampeeeding ever since. Lots of Cowboys and cowgirls here ready to do the Whoopie Dance. Here is a picture of a young cowgirl Charlise in her new Splash'N Boots T-Shirt:


Yesterday we performed as a part of the Kids Day Pancake Breakfast on the Grandstand:

It was amazing performing to thousands of people!

Everyday over 100,000 people go through the gate at the Stampede…soo many people! And every night there is a Grandstand Show that is truly spectacular.














Then we met Miss. Canada:

And hung out with the greatest a cappella group in Canada: The Heebee- Jeebees


It has been so great meeting all of you, and seeing so many familiar faces in Calgary. A huge thank you to everyone who has come out to sing and dance with us.

If you live in Calgary we are doing an extra show at Rope Square downtown Calgary this coming Saturday morning at 9:30. If you come down early there will be time to grab some pre-show pancakes!

And if you are at the Stampede c’mon down to the Buckaroos stage, we would love to sing and dance with you!

Wishing you all a warm and a big yippe kyyy yaaay

Bye for now..
