As of: 18 April 2001

A&B Sound in Vancouver has been fulfilling orders of Field Study pretty quickly, even to the U.S.

Lots of news this time around!!

• Veda's new album, Field Study is set for release on April 5.  This album was recorded in live performance at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre last December. 

• To celebrate the release, Veda will be doing three nights at the VECC, on April 5, 6, and 7.

• Field Study is a collection of songs inspired by science and nature, in part a result of her trip to the Yukon last summer.  It may be pre-ordered at A&B Sound, here.

• A tour of the West Coast of the U.S. is in the works for late May/early June.  The only confirmed date so far is in Santa Cruz, CA on Saturday, June 9, at EctoFestWest.

• Stay tuned for details of some East Coast (U.S.) dates in the late spring/early summer timeframe!

The December 17th Vancouver performance consisted of Veda alone at the piano, performing her new "science and nature" series of songs in its entirety.  The performance was recorded, and we hope that means a new release sooner rather than later...

• Ectophile Larry Greenfield reports:

"Veda had a marvelous experience at her recent Living Room concert.  Her west coast tour begins this week, and Veda has a number of dates open, on which she is willing to do a few more Living Room shows.

"She'll be in Olympia, WA on Friday, and San Fran in Monday (I think), but she has Saturday and Sunday open this weekend (December 5 and 6).  In California, December 9, 13 and 15 are also open dates for her. (She's performing at Gabah in L.A. on December 11 and at Java Joe's in San Diego on December 12 [Elizabeth Hummel opens in SD]).

"If anyone is willing and able to put together a Living Room Tour show for Veda in these areas on any of these dates, please call her agent, Patty Romanoff, at (413)247-9308, and speak with Patty or Courtney about it."

Patty's e-mail is primecity@aol.com, and Courtney's is bproofmgmt@aol.com.
