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.
