<p>I have been playing lots of music lately, taking some time to enjoy the beginning of summer on the Farm and in Victoria and making some new music and planning for things to come in the late summer. &nbsp;Also, we just played at the David Foster Private Concert at the Empress Hotel in Victoria this past weekend. &nbsp;I am sitting in the Sea-Tac airport and am really excited to be at Oakbridge Young Life Camp near San Diego in June and back up to play a few shows and a festival or two in the late summer. &nbsp;But boy-howdy are we looking super forward to releasing a couple songs, a video and touring the late-summer and fall. &nbsp;Stay tuned and thanks for the love.</p>
<p>Oakbridge Young Life, Ramona, CA - June 1 - June 22</p>
<p>Clayquot Sound Theatre, Tofino, BC - July 20</p>
<p>Kulth Festival, Coombs BC - &nbsp;July 21</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.mikeedel.com/news/rss-comments-entry-16428763.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
