Stephanie Marshall (pictured) has been a long time friend and a long time supporter of the Six String Nation. I've known her as a new media producer, MBA student and now communications executive but of late she's revived an earlier aspect of her character: the singer-songwriter.
I was away for her public re-debut at the Free Times Cafe a few months ago but that's OK because it meant I got to provide Voyageur for her to play for the first time in public at her special birthday show at Graffiti's in Toronto's Kensington Market last night.
Just to build the suspense, bandmates Nathan Bishop and Vivienne Suen each took a turn with Voyageur first before Stephanie finally closed the circle on a decade's worth of support for this project. It was a sweet moment.
On the way home, we stopped in at friend John Oswald's new gallery/bar called Art + Drinks. John is one of the world's great electronic music pioneers and theorists so it was extra fun to finally put this acoustic guitar in his hands!
