...oh my, the first thing I'm blogging about is a break up!! Well lets say its more of a new beginning.
Some of you know, some this may be a surprise, Candace has taken a step back from Drowning Ophelia. I (Karli) am now on my own! Eek!
Its been taking a bit but I'm starting to adjust. I've had to do many things already as a one woman band. I've played many shows already by myself, New City was the first. I've played Billiards twice(they were both awesome nights too!) and The Winspear! Now that was an experience. I was lucky enough to be chosen to play the main stage at Creative Alberta's Imagination Conversation. That took a lot of mental preparation backstage to get out there by myself. Everyone said I did amazing! Even with a wilting mic stand...and having to stop my song Sunday Morning half way through to fix it!
I've also started recording a new album. All songs have been written by me! The first day was the hardest, being so excited leaving the studio .... and no one to share the experience with, it's a lot different then our first time recording. I've been making great progress on it though and will hopefully be releasing the first three songs soon! I'm also gonna make Candace come in and do some backup vocals on the record. Even though she's not officially in the band anymore she always will be part of it.
It has been a bit emotionally hard with out my partner but I do feel a bit more empowered by it as well and I know she's still here in the background cheering me on! She is now definitely my biggest fan. (and will probably be the first one to read this)
I should have called this blog 'ode to my sister' instead haha. I hope you all enjoyed reading it!
I apologize for my very bad grammer....I also hope there are no spelling mistakes....:P
Cheers,
Karli
