Things Running through my mind....

Happy Saturday!

What a gorgeous Saturday in July here in the country. I just got back from a 5k run/walk and feel great...its beautiful out and I've got my exercise in for the day so the rest of it I can enjoy even more now. I went to a clinic though Inches Weight Loss with Naomi Young back at the first of May and it was a great experience.  Met some really lovely running partners and made some friends. I've had lots of people message me about the running and telling me how motivating its been.  I love it that people can be inspired by me though that part of my life because I've become very passionate about improving my health and its nice to know it rubs off!  So message me anytime on facebook or email,  I love connecting and giving advice :)

Now time to update you my lovely supporters on my musical life!  

So as you may or may not know I will be recording a full length album and most of the planning is in place.  I'm excited because now it’s time to start executing! I was honored to be one of the few who were awarded a grant from the MID program though the Province of NB to help with the recording my full length album and I couldn't be happier.  Its not a ton of money but anything really helps and I will do my best to make them and you proud.   I’m shooting for getting into the studio in October if all goes well. I have most of the songs ready to go and have been writing quite a bit.  You probably notice my life leaves no lack of material and with heart breaks, dating and my random life in general.....it all keeps me on my toes!  I learned a lot from my last recording venture with the “Favorite Mistakes” EP and I’m really looking forward to this round!  

Sunday I will be one of the songwriters for the MNB Songwriters Circle at the Cedar Tree café and it will be my last Fredericton performance of the summer (except for a private party ..yes I do that too!).  I’ve also been invited to perform on the Boardwalk in SJ on August 6^th at 7:30PM. After that it’s me and my full band on the Picaroons Main Stage for the Dooryard Arts festival in Woodstock on August 11^th .  Finishing up the summer at Freedomfestat the Farm in Basswood Ridge (near St. Stephen) in August26th for some WAKE and ROCK at 11AM.  Hopefully you can make it to one of the shows because I’d love to see your beautiful face!  

Since you took the time to read this post I want you to do something nice for you and allow you to help yourself to my EP songs :) Please email me at jaclynreinhart@hotmail.com and I will send you the link to download them.

May - Today be full of MUSIC

Well it’s the first of May and what does that mean?  Are we gonna get some flowers from those April showers…well no matter what they will pop up. For me it means music starts to really get busy and  I love it.  Being on stage playing music for you fuels my soul.  This year I have been booked for a couple of festivals that I am really excited about.  They are the Dooryard Arts Festival that takes place in Woodstock.  It is in its 4^th year.  It is part of The River Valley Arts Alliance (RiVA) and celebrates local talent of all types and takes place in mid August.  FreedomFest in St. Stephen  also in August is a brand new festival but has some really fantastic acts on the bill like Kendra Gale Band, Ben Caplan, Slowcoaster and Lovestorm to name a few.  Then I’ll be doing RiverJam for the 4^th year and this one is really special to me because the proceeds go to Music in Schools so I couldn’t be happier to help to raise money to encourage young talent to grow.  They put the band in the Main Ballroom this year and I can’t wait.  

This Friday I will be singing the National Anthem at a charity hockey game between the Police dept. and Fire Dept and couldn’t be more honored that they would ask me to do it. I might feel kind of naked with just my voice and a microphone haha!  Really though I’ve always wanted to sing anthem at a hockey game so here’s my shot!   

I’m doing something a little different this month too.  I’ll be in SJ May 24^th for a Bruce Springsteen acoustic Tribute show at the Somerset Pub along with Clinton Charlton and co.  Its going to be fun and will pump some people up for seeing the Boss this summer.  Doing things like this helps me grow a little more as a songwriter by moving out of my comfort zone a bit.  This man has had an amazing career with 17 studio albums and he’s a stellar songwriter..they don’t call him the boss for nothing! 

Im still working away on songs for my follow up album and a lot of the planning is already done for it but I’m not even going to talk about a release date until I have more things confirmed.  Just so you  know that wheels are turning and I don’t want to hype it up too much but..its going to be awesome.  You will have to make it to some shows to get a taste of the new songs until I can get it in your hands and on your computers, iPods and such.  I love it when I see you guys out to shows and really encourage you to get to as much live local music as you can.  Not just to see me but because there are lots of gems out there that will delight you and steel your heart. Trust me you will be glad you did. 

This was your May update to let you in on some summer excitement and put you in the know.  I have more gigs to list too and I’ll be sending out an email with a more official schedule soon.

Peace Love and Rock & Roll (Stolen from Jenn Seeley)
