Toronto Women's Bookstore - Three Day Cabaret (and cds for sale)

I'm delighted to announce that the Toronto Women's Bookstore at 73 Harbord Street is selling my new cd, The Day the Money Run Out.

And, I'm going to perform a short set at the TWB on Thursday, October 28 as part of their 3-day Cabaret in celebration of their grand re-opening.

Here's the line-up of performers (starting at 7pm and running to about 10pm). Hope you can stop by:

Anne Perdue - reading from her newly released book "I'm a Registered Nurse Not a Whore"
Dinah Thorpe
Alex Hickey
Alexandra Nunez, Shameema & Tony
Edgardo Moreno & Valeria
Gord Zubrecki Band

I'm looking forward to this celebration of the revitalization of a great Toronto institution. In addition to Thursday's musical extravaganza, there will be readings on Wednesday, October 27 and a dance party on Friday, October 29. More information available through the TWB's Facebook group.

The Day the Money Run Out - now available to download

It's October 19, 2010, the official release date for The Day the Money Run Out, and iTunes impressed the heck out of me by having the new cd available right after midnight. I thought they would be lagging a little behind CDbaby, but actually, it's the other way around. Thanks, iTunes!

Happy listening!

Save a Penny!

I'm very excited to announce that The Day the Money Run Out is available for sale at Soundscapes (572 College Street) and at the Roncy location of She Said Boom (393 Roncesvalles Ave.)

If you are in Toronto and craving a copy before the launch party on Thursday, or if you aren't able to make it to the launch, please stop by and pick up a copy at one of these fine independent music retailers.

In the interest of optimum convenience, Soundscapes is open later hours that I am (though I'm generally awake long before they open, so if you ever need to get a copy of the cd before breakfast, get in touch). She Said Boom is a little further west that I am – just across the street from the awesome Revue Cinema. And shopping locally on Roncy is a great help to the businesses there during their massive street construction ordeal.

The CD sells for $14.99 at either store. I don't tend to carry that many pennies around with me, so if you buy your copy at the launch (or over breakfast sometime) it'll be an even $15.
