Fredericton of Fun!

Hello!
We are currently in the van on a Splash’N Boots Road Trip! We just entered New Brunswick and are headed to the provinces' captital; Fredricton to do shows.

This past weekend we were in Taes’s hometown of Perth Ontario where we performed 2 benefit concerts for “Bracelets of Hope”http://www.braceletsofhope.ca/ . What an incredible story- check it out! Here we are with Carrie-Anne, the girl who started it all:



Together we raised over $2000. Thank you so much to everyone who came out, and we wish everyone a safe trip to Zimbabwe.

This was our very first concert performing with a local Choir. This fabulous group performed two songs with us: “This is Our Home” and “I Love You the Most” They were awesome! We are excited about the possibility of performing with other local choirs in the future…

Last week we did two shows at Queen’s University, Kingston Ontario. One show was for over 600 students from bused in schools from around the city. The other show was unlike anything we have ever done before. We were asked to do a 25 minute show for all of the Graduating Teachers of the Faculty of Education. Picture 700, adults singing “wahooo wahooo” during the Treasure of Gold at the top of their lungs. The education system has a bright future with this group!

For the next few days we will be performing in local Fredricton schools. The weekend will be spent with shows at the FredKids Fair. Next week it is back to the studio to finish mixing the album, then off to Western Canada for Children’s Festivals.

Stay tuned for: The Splash’N Boots Show…our first DVD, coming soon!

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful spring weather. There are still traces of snow here in New Brunswick!
Hope to talk to you soon!

Love,

Taes and Nick
