Hiya friends!
I received MEGA exciting news in the past couple weeks. I was playing a show in this unique and strange place right outside of Fredericton (called The Hollywood Starroom - look it up.. I swear.. entering this venue is like walking into what I imagine Los Angeles was like in the 70s..). I was just hangin' out post sound check and my phone kept going 'ding', 'ding', 'ding' as I received a flood of text messages from friends (oh the times we live in...!) who were congratulating me on my Maple Blues Award Nomination for "BEST NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR"! The good news washed over me at the perfect time as I was feeling rather road weary and homesick.
As I further reflect upon the nomination I continue to feel more humbled. I'm up with some serious Canadian heavyweights and it is SUCH an honour that the Toronto Blues Society and all the blues bandits involved are giving me recognition. I'm blown away.
The trophy-home-taker in my category is solely determined by votes. I would REALLY appreciate yours. It's a super simple process - should take less than 1 minute. You have to register your email and then vote and you can do so by following this link: Vote for Jenie Thai - New Artist of The Year
More updates from the road soon but right now I'm off to a rehearsal for a show at Hugh's Room, TO in a couple days. Teamin' up with my buddy Jay Aymar who I did some Alberta dates with last July.. and with whom I got a 6 pack from from laughing so hard with (also shared a couple sixers with too...!)
Really appreciate your support!
Thanks for the read.
Big love!
Jenie
p.s. Voting closes DECEMBER 4th so please do it now!! :)
