TIMA Winner!
Date: October 6, 2006
A funny but lovely thing happened last night at the Phoenix Concert Theatre: we won the Toronto Independent Music Award for Best Jazz!
I send fierce love and respect to all the other nominees who I was so honoured to be in the company of, especially: Kellylee Evans, blueVenus, Emma Lee, Angie Nussey, Linda M, and Ray Edge.
I also send many mushy thank-you's to Oliver Johnson and Jane Harbury for being behind this humble folk/(jazz?)/soul songstress, whether she's winning the awards or not.
