Hello everyone:
Summer
is finally starting, and I couldn't be happier about the warmer
weather. It's time for outdoor festivals, new projects and big plans!
Without further ado:

Saturday concert
I'm delighted to return to the Brantford Pagan Meet & Greet Festival for
their 10th anniversary this Saturday! Come on down & spend a sunny
day with your old friends. Everyone is welcome. Festival doors open at
10am. And if it rains – that’s OK too, since the concert will be held
indoors :)
WHEN: Saturday, 03 June 2017, 3pm
WHERE: Mohawk Park, 51 Lynnwood Drive, Brantford, Ontario, Canada
HOW MUCH: Free!

American Sign Language Video Series
Right
now, I'm in the midst of filming a unique and really exciting "triple
storytelling" video project: I'm collaborating with five Deaf actors on
a series of 25 music videos. As a Hearing person, I usually only get
to experience American Sign Language (ASL) when someone is using it to
directly translate English... but it's actually a very different
language when spoken by lifelong Deaf people. Thurga, Lisa, Mana, Sage,
and Tamyka are all Deaf storytellers; they're not translating my
poetry, but instead telling the same story their own way. So really,
each "triple storytelling" video will concurrently feature: 1) written
English (my lyrics appearing on screen), 2) sung English (my song
recording), and 3) the story retold in American Sign Language (ASL).
I'm loving this project!! I'm learning so much about the vibrant
culture of Deaf people, and making some amazing new friends in
the process. I'll be releasing the series this summer. :)

Rumours!
Just
in case you thought I haven't been up to much lately, I thought I'd
share a couple of the big things we're working on here at Amphis Music: -
a big Canadian tour, tentatively called "Celtic Spark", for November
and December (if you're interested in helping out, or know someone at a
theatre or church or hall that might like to book the show, please email
ben@heatherdale.com) - a new album of all-original songs! I have so many great ideas swirling around that are just waiting to come out... |

Thanks and see you soon! Cheers, H :)
