Yesterday, after a kickin spin class, I came home to find a square envelope sitting on our stairs. Confused, I picked it up and immediately smiled.
She did it! And in my hands was the proof!
Let me back track a bit ….
Five years ago, Andrea Burgoyne and I sat in her apartment writing a song for Steph & Doug’s wedding. She shared stories of her love of music as she found the chords that would compliment my lyrics. Needless to say, the experience, and the product, remain unforgettable. Since then, she left Vancouver to follow her passions to the Yukon where her love of making musical art was re-ignited. As she sat on my couch during her last visit to Vancouver, she told me she was in the studio, recording her debut album as brigs with an amazing gent named Jordy Walker, and planning on going on tour in the summer.
In that square envelope was her CD – proof that intense focus and a grateful heart make dreams come true.
Yes, her songs have been playing on repeat since they arrived (cause they are seriously addictive).
Yes, she is touring this summer.
And, yes, when she comes to Vancouver I’ll be in the front row – beaming and singing every word!
To join in on the fun, you can find brigs on MySpace and Facebook. One down, three to go!
