Well, we're off to a bright start this year with lots of cool stuff on the horizon. First off, we'd like to thank you so much for your support over the years, including this past one! It means a lot to us.

Up next -- some shows!

Cornerstone Anniversary Party -- 1 year of goodness coming from the musical epi-centre of Fernwood - the Cornerstone Cafe. We'll be celebrating Saturday, January 26th starting at 7:30pm. Come on down and hear some of the best from the Fernwood music scene - and celebrate the launch of Cornerstone Cafe Records! Free - PLUS CAKE! Yum!

THEN - we're heading up to Whistler for the Whistler PrideWeek Celebrations on the weekend of February 8th. We'll be opening for Melissa Ferrick (who will be opening for Ani diFranco on her upcoming tour). Should be tons o' fun! If you're going, let us know so we can connect with you there. Here's the link to get tickets for the show: http://www.gaywhistler.com/womensevents.html

Next up after that will be a couple of local shows, one on February 15 and one in March for to celebrate the launch of our new collective label endeavour with a bunch of other indie artists. The two shows will be acoustic house concert/party events to raise funds to help build the label and promote local musicians. Both will be at the Fernwood Community Centre in the 'living room' in front of the fire. We'll have a potluck and lots of great entertainment. More details soon!

Other community items:

CSB will be featured on the Carolwood fundraiser compilation and will have a spot in their summer festival

We'll be playing a benefit show in March to help bring awareness to homelessness issues in our city. More details soon!

What's up next for the band:

Recording a shiny new studio album - set for release Summer 2008. This will feature the song, 'I Do' that so many of you raved about on our Wyld Lily Tour!

Playing a number of festivals and shows in Canada and the UK over the summer and fall of 2008!

Happy New Year to you! Hope it is a wonderful year for you, this brand new 2008! :-)

Just want to let you know that our performance on CFAX 1070 to celebrate the new year went swimmingly well! Hope you were able to listen in either on the radio or online this morning. Some of Victoria's most exciting acts all performed for a 5 hour block today, and shared stories of their new year's traditions. Lots of fun! Thanks to James Kasper for co-hosting as well as inviting us! :-)

Lots of great stuff planned for the year ahead! Festivals, shows, recordings! We're looking forward to 2008. We're performing a more rootsy, acoustic show this year with a more 'organic' flavour, focusing on the 3-part harmony vocals and instrumentation.

We're on Facebook and MySpace - so add us there if you are on there too! www.myspace.com/carolinespence and look for the Caroline Spence Music group on Facebook!

More exciting installments soon!

And most of all, thank YOU for your support. I do appreciate your letters and comments and visits to see what we're up to lately!

Much love and hugs,
Caroline
