Hey Folks,

Firstly I'd like to wish you all a merry christmas and a  happy new year. I had a lovely time hanging out in Berlin with lots of my close Australian friends for Christmas and New Year. We ate lots of wonderful food. It was my first vegetarian christmas since making the change from eating meat and although i did at times feel the absence a some turkey or a bit of beautiful seafood, the crew and I cooked up some  thoroughly kick ass vego food and of course, ate way to much and drank till the wee hours of the morning. most nights. good times indeed!

This Year:

To kick off the new year i wanted to ask u all a favour... if you are on facebook or twitter or any other online medium that might help get my music out there, do you  think you could take a second and post this video on your site, wall, or link it in a tweet or an email to a friend?

I'm really hoping to get a little bit more online exposure this year and a helping hand is definately needed.

So here it is ... my new and first EPK: INTRODUCING JAIMI FAULKNER

What have I got in store for 2012?

GIGS: I kick it all off today with the first show of the year in Celle, Germany. (see gig guide for all gig details)

There's lots already planned for this year, including Recording some new tracks in February at Studio Wong in Berlin. Its well overdue and with any luck , i'll have some new tracks layed down and ready to hear by April which will co-incide with a big band tour in The Netherlands and Germany in April - May.

I've also Been invited to perform at some bigger European Festivals in Summer including the Kiele Woche Festival in Kiel as well as Stadt festivals in Ingolstadt, Dachau and Hamburg... more of course to come...

You can be kept up to date with all these events if you like by becomming a facebook fan on my music page. www.facebook.com/jaimifaulknermusic

For now, good luck with the start of the new year.

And as always, thanks for all your support,

Much love

Jaimi

Good Evening all.

It's 14th of December and I'm sitting on my sofa back in Berlin drinking a Königbacher Pilsener and reflecting on the year. It feels like a good time to wish you well for the holiday season.

Its been a really amazing year and Im so overwhelmed by the response I have received both during my own headline tours, and of course as the support act for Joe Cocker, Vonda Shepard, Paul Young, Chris Thompson, John Allen, Waylon etc...

This week:

Tomorrow I head off on tour to perform the last three shows of 2011. The gigs will be taking place in Witten, Hamburg (Norderstedt) & Hannover, and will be JAIMI FAULKNER TRIO gigs.

I'll be taking on the road with me Mr. Manuel Zacek (Bass) & debuting Mr. David Anania (Drums). Dave plays with the Blue Man Group and is a hell of a drummer and a human being so I'm very much looking forward to having him add his rhythmic flavour to my tunes.

Next Year:

Whenever I have time off (and often when i don't!!)I've been working hard, writing new tunes for the new album, and Im really happy with the writing and the direction that the tunes are taking. Some of the songs have been well road tested and you can find examples of them up on the net:

2012 looks like its going to be a wonderful year full of recording touring and releasing, as well as some big festivals and hopefully some more high profile supports in Europe.

Australia:

To Everyone back home, thanks for putting up with my newsletters concerning all the happening of overseas life. I hope you enjoy them and will be pleased to know that i have plans of hitting OZ around mid 2012 if all goes to plan and playing a few shows.

Holidays:

More than anything, I'd like to wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year. Thank you all for your ongoing support. Without you guys, i'd probably be answering phones in a call centre somewhere in melbourne...

Much love to you all and hope to see you in 2012.

Hey Folks,

It's been a HUGE year of touring, both headling and playing support shows for many great international artists, including Joe Cocker, Paul Young, Chris Thompson, Waylon, Tom Dice.

This month is no exception.  I'll be finishing the year in style, touring all over Germany opening for Vonda Shepard (US). We will also be joined be the wonderfully talented Stevie Ann (NL).

Check out the dates on the gigs page or below, and hope to see you at a show near YOU!

Hey Folks! Check out this cool video of my new song IF I HAD MY TIME AGAIN recording live in a Second Hand Thrift Store in Zwolle Netherlands a month ago! If you dig it, leave youtube comment!

Enjoy, Jaimi

Don't forget to check the Gigs page to see where Jaimi will be performing next... here's a little video to check out while your waiting!

Greetings!

The month of October is almost upon us and after a well needed rest from a pretty hectic touring schedule, I'm back on the road with a massive tour that sees me playing around 25 gigs in the month!

Paul Young:

I'm very happy to announce that I will on tour with Paul young and will be opening the shows for him for six shows in Germany and Austria. Paul had many hit tunes in the 70's 80s and is considered UK royalty, so Im very much looking forward to opening for him.

House Concerts:

In between my support shows and headline shows I will also be playing a few house concerts. So if you would like to have me play especially for YOU in the comfort of your own home amongst your friends and family, all you have to do is shoot me an email and I will do my best to organise a show for you!

Last Dutch Tour for 2011:

I've been really enjoying playing in Holland in 2011 and as you may know I've performed at many festivals this year, supported some great artist there, and of course played my own headline shows.

I will be coming back one last time in 2011 (19-25 OCT) to play some special shows including a special headline show in Amsterdam, and as support for Chris Thompson (manfred manns earth band).

Check out the gigs page for all Ductch gigs details www.jaimifaulkner.com/gigs

Germany:

I will also be performing some headline shows in Germany at the beginning and end of the month so be sure to check the gig guide for details.

See you at a show!

Hello All.

This latest entry finds me purched at a kitchen table in Prittlbach in southern Germany, its a grey day outside and I'm listening to Charlie Musselwhite whilst writing to you. Im well overdue for an update... so here goes...

European summer has been pretty kind to me with the exception of a few rained out festivals, but as always I've been travelling all over Germany and Holland, you can find

me most days on the train heading to my next destination, guitar in hand.

New Record:

I'm coming to the end of a big run of shows and am very excited to announce that next week I will start recording for the next record that hopefully will come out sometime in 2012... Its been a big year of travel and change in my life, so the songs will reflect this.

I'm going to take my time, get it right, but it will be started soon which of course is both exciting and a little nerve racking for me. But the main thing is, i've got a lot of new tunes that need to be heard and eventually I hope they make their way into your homes, i-devices and car stereos. :-)

Touring:

I'm not stopping touring completely whilst recording, as i have a few festivals in August and a few shows in September to keep me 'match fit'!

Two festivals in Holland next week - the Gauzepop festival in Enschede (5/8)  and Festival Duizel in Rotterdam (7/8).

I also will be playing a special Australian Song Day Festival in Castrop Rauxel with Carus Thompson and Derrin Nauendorf (6/8) that is going to be a lot of fun and no doubt a little jamming will happen.

The big show in August will be at the Zelt Festival Ruhr where i played last year before Jamie Callum. This year I've been given the spot just before Joe Cocker on August 19th.

So as always, I want to thank you all for supporting me and my music and I look forward to seeing you some time in soon..

.

Much Love.

Jaimi
