I am sitting on a train feeling completely fulfilled and
exhausted from my touring experience. The people in Italy have been so very
kind and appreciative of me and my music. I can barely begin to tell you how
touched and grateful I am. I feel renewed and inspired within. I hope these
experiences stay with me always, and I can draw upon them when I need it the
most. I proved to myself that I am a lot stronger then I think I am, and that I
have a lot more room to grow as a person and an artist.</div>

My second gig on the Italian leg of the tour was in Milano, at Nidaba Theater. The place was in an area that made me say “We are not in Switzerland anymore Toto.”</div>

The atmosphere inside of the club pleasantly surprised me. Very well known for acoustic, blues and country music; there were previous concert posters of John Popper, one of my favorites among many other well-knowns. The lovely Raffaella Migliaccio sat in on drums with me which was a real treat :)</div>

We drove onto Bassano di Grappa the next day (home of the infamous digestivo Grappa) and a beautiful town. The location of the venue "Auditorium Vivaldi" was in Cassola, right outside of Bassano. We pulled in and were greeted by "the band" and crew with open arms. Drummer Andrea Ruta and bassist Lorenzo (Lolo) Burghignoli set right to work with me rehearsing our set. Boy was I glad it clicked with these guys! They drove all the way from Rome to do this show with me!</div>

Nothing could have prepared me for the evening that was in store. The Rainbow Trinity Choir started the night with their beautiful voices and then we came out and the curtain opened again for a set of my songs with my new band. The theater was quiet and intent as I sang song after song until the dancers came out for my song "Cobblestones". Two beautiful young dancers had choreographed a dance to my song, and it was such a wonder to sing as they flew and leaped across the stage! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4sIwSgm1swo3VcGktrzuxTXRb6QIky_5DfOGpmtw0LzAgpdHYzrlbfWz8XvXW5hKFalJnWIuHLrbjgNAyioFupG_CGqY4mXErmUb4Wlk8-LyDOGuyQ9U6ytYboalr28nZCjDDnGSyKZxW/s1600/IMG_7382.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4sIwSgm1swo3VcGktrzuxTXRb6QIky_5DfOGpmtw0LzAgpdHYzrlbfWz8XvXW5hKFalJnWIuHLrbjgNAyioFupG_CGqY4mXErmUb4Wlk8-LyDOGuyQ9U6ytYboalr28nZCjDDnGSyKZxW/s640/IMG_7382.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

At the finale, the choir joined me for "Imagine" by John Lennon. I felt so emotional being a part of this amazing presentation. I felt honored and humbled by the outpouring of love and support I felt from everyone! All of the separate parts came together for the first time to create something beautiful! Music truly is a universal language. </div>

My gig in Blonay, CH was followed by a quick trip to Montreaux, home of the world famous Montreau Jazz Festival, and the last show that Freddie Mercury ever played. Viviane, my lovely host took a shot with me and his statue overlooking the lake. The gardens are beautiful here year-round. It is a micro climate with palms and early spring blooms. It was cold on this day but still lovely indeed!<br />

My next stop was the lovely town of Gersau, I performed in the Old Town Hall. The building is currently being used as a historic museum, and performance space. The setting was cozy and intimate, and my host Roger Burgler was super nice and great at getting good sound. He has a wonderful space and the place was packed with a very enthusiastic crowd! </div>

The next show was that very same day. An Irish festival in honor of St. Patty's Day. I had no idea that Italians were so fond of Ireland!. The venue was enormous with 1000+ people there. A boxing match at the opposite end of the huge space! As soon as it was over, I started my set. It was a great response to the music, and I did an Italian TV interview at the end of the show.</div>

The day after, we took a train to Verona, and I luckily found a repair shop for a little surgery on the guitar. The Musical Box in Verona. Roberto Fontanot, and Pietro worked on it for almost two hours and did not even charge me! I could not believe it! My heart was warmed by their kindness and hospitality!<br />

Today we are in Milan. Last night I actually had a night off! I slept in today, and am getting ready to rehearse with a drummer by the name of Raffaella, before the gig at "Nidaba Theater" tonight.<br />
Thanks for reading and I look forward to sharing with you the final days of my tour here in Italy!<br />

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It certainly
was good practice driving a standard in the crazy stop and go traffic in the big city of Zurich. I don’t
think the other drivers appreciated it. I accidentally drove on the train
tracks and then jumped off when I realized I wasn’t on the street. Then I drove
up a one way. The street signs look WAY different here!!! We found our hotel
finally, which was really comfortable. There was a “farmy” stinkiness in the
lobby unlike the cow pasture smell, which is prevalent here, and I don’t really
mind. We deducted it was the smell of fondue from the restaurant, and the
cheeses were making it that way. Cheese is no joke in Switzerland. The tap water is so tasty and clean where ever you go!<br />
<br />
It was Brittan’s last day here, so we hit the
ground running for some last minute shopping. It was fun to have a little down
time/girl time. We managed to find some great bargains in some shops, and Britt
got a cool pair of boots. I performed just steps away from our hotel in a tapas
bar “Corazon”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a busy bar, but people still made their way over to
say “thank you” and buy a few cd’s. The managers were very nice as all have
been this entire trip! I really like Zurich. It was my second time there. Very
beautiful.</div>

I dropped Brittan off at the airport, switched cars to an automatic and made my way to
Chur, a nice little town. I drove on the sidewalk to get to the hotel. That
felt wrong but the hotel said I could do it to unload. I felt like I had a huge
sign stuck to my head that said “clueless tourist”. Luckily the venue was also
within walking distance. “Kulterwerk” was a nice show. I was thankful for a
warm welcome on my first evening alone on the tour.<br />

From Chur I drove about 4 hours to Interlaken, a high
elevation and the snow was falling down and the freezing winds were blowing.
What a change from the early Spring I was feeling! I wish I could have enjoyed
the scenery here more, but it was overcast. From what I can see of the lakes
from the highway, they are a beautiful aqua blue. “Kunsthaus” is the place I
performed at and it had a cool arts vibe. They were readying the upstairs space
for a big modern installation. I had a small audience thank goodness, and I
even got an interview and pics taken for a local paper. Sandro the manager took
me to a nice dinner beforehand as well.<br />

I must admit I’m a bit lonely at the moment, typing and
eating soup in the hotel restaurant. I’m growing in a lot of ways as a person
and performer. Some of the harder stuff is making me see more clearly how much
I care about my art, and how much heart I put into what I do. I feel blessed. I also feel a little crazy. Touring this far away feels just as much exhilarating as it is exhausting. I am
going to Blonay next, a French speaking region.....<br />

As soon as I got through some tunnels that burrow through the mountains, it was sunny and snowing. I was greeted by my hosts Patrick and Vivienne who brought me right into their home and plopped me into their hot tub. I knew I brought my bathing suit for a reason!! Unfortunately, my camera went "plop" into the hot tub as well. I hope she dries out. I managed to get pics off of the card but the screen is still blank. I guess i'll be taking pics with my phone until Paul meets me in two days. Boy will I be glad to see him! I am so tired i can't even tell you, but it has been worth it and I'm grateful for the experience!<br />

I am so glad I have some reliable internet service and can post on my blog! A lot has happened with shows and more since my last post. After two days in France, the next stop was Zug, CH at Podium 41, right on the lake with the mountains in the distance. It was a quiet Tuesday night but people were very receptive to my music and I sold some cd's and made a good impression. Ute the owner said she'd have me back in the busier Summer time. Brittan and I enjoyed a little walk in Zug the next day and took some nice pics below..... then more about the tour, read on!<br />

Then off to Frick on the back roads. There is so much driving and go go go on this tour we have not had much time to stop and do anything except for a few pics, it's been a rush to get up and hit the road. Frick's Monti is a theater and restaurant in a small, farm-like town. It was a thrill to play for such an attentive audience, and a little unnerving! Brittan took some pics of me on stage. There were about 50 people there, and it was a really warm welcome and I got an encore. I tend to get big stage fright right before i start playing and then something kicks in and i'm able to pull it togther when I start singing. The thing is, I forget that almost every time!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqRZxoh4tTuz3CH7V5zPzBvlCsH0LRwRsgYl2HmLG7VLwDXpvmazv4th9j9mRNV75MB65SLPWzy_WfefekF3SCKSC8SpYawvbM5fOH3Ul-iJyTmZlwwCYooV9LNqTeAN3_6NNOPPytx1VV/s1600/DSC04981.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqRZxoh4tTuz3CH7V5zPzBvlCsH0LRwRsgYl2HmLG7VLwDXpvmazv4th9j9mRNV75MB65SLPWzy_WfefekF3SCKSC8SpYawvbM5fOH3Ul-iJyTmZlwwCYooV9LNqTeAN3_6NNOPPytx1VV/s640/DSC04981.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />

The next day, we drove 5 hours to Tesserete, which is an Italian region in Switzerland. It's soooo beautiful there. Very Italian. I almost forgot we were still in Switzerland. I perfomed at Irish Pub Alpino the first night, and Teatro di Banco, a lovely little theater right down the winding mountain road where we were staying with Roger, my booking agent the next. It was a magickal night and all caught on camera and recording by Roger and his friend Jean! I look forward to sharing it when it comes out. An inspiring place to be in the mountains!<br />

I am now in Pratteln, and it's an industrial area. Not pretty. I am very tired! I have to get up some energy for my show tonight. Off to Zurich tomorrow and then Brittan flies home and then I'm on my own...Till soon. xoxoxo Katrin</div>

The past few days have been an adventuresome whirlwind right
from the moment Brittan and I touched down and got into the rental car. Making
our way to Luzern, Switzerland, I guessed at an exit from the highway as our
directions were in German and we had not yet acquired a navigation system. Emerging
from a tunnel, the buildings and landmarks became familiar to me from my trip
here in the Summer of 2009. We followed the lake shore and immediately spotted Hotel
Schweizerhof, a very old and opulent hotel overlooking Lake Luzern. We took an illegal left turn into the hotel parking lot (judging by the looks of the drivers and an old man shaking his finger and yelling obscenities at us) then dragged our over-packed suitcases up the stairs and into the lobby. I immediately felt a bit ragged and under dressed as everyone and everything was so polished and well put together. We were given a junior suite with a view of the lake. It was plenty big and very nice! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had the entire day and the next to rest up and prepare for my opening night show in the Hotel Schweizerhof Lounge. Excited to see the city, we freshened up and headed out to take a walk.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Luzern is a very pretty city, even in the very cold weather and overcast sky, it's authentic and old world beauty is everywhere. It is VERY expensive here. Two cappuccino's and a water ran us 26CHF. The soft chairs and view of the river were nice though :)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We wandered about the next day, visiting the open market and window shopping. Roger Salem, who is responsible for booking this tour, met up with us at the hotel before my show. It was great to finally meet him in person. He is so nice and packed with enthusiasm. He even brought all of his recording gear!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The gig at the lounge felt as if I were getting my sea legs back. I felt internally stiff and unsettled. The atmosphere lent itself to the stiffness. As lovely and as fancy as it was, it felt like more of a place you would go to hear lounge jazz or piano. I certainly caught people's attention, and maybe a bit off guard, as I tend to put it all out there. The room was very large and marble covered, so the acoustics were quite reverberant. It went over well according to Britt and Roger. There were no real screw up's but I was hoping I would feel more confident inside. All in all, it was a good place to start and certainly a soft landing!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been learning to drive a stick shift with the patient help of Brittan, who has driven one her whole life. We drove about 6 hours to Lournand, France, for my second show at Le Pont de Cotte. It was a contrast as it's nestled in the countryside, and much more laid back. The space was beautiful inside and out. My performance felt so much better, and the audience appreciated the music. We stayed and ate and laughed, and tried to learn some French from our very gratious host Henri and his lovely friends.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next show is back in Switzerland tomorrow in Zug.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I'm starting to get into the swing of things and i look forward to sharing more with you soon!</div>

I decided to start my own blog because I am inspired by my upcoming tour to Switzerland, France and Italy! I'm looking forward to sharing my music with people on different parts of the globe, and getting new inspiration from the people I meet and the new experiences I will get to have. I feel so lucky! Please join me on my journey!<br />
<br />
I'll be playing solo acoustic mostly, with a couple of gigs with a band in Italy.<br />
I have been trying to decide what to bring for clothes for nearly three weeks!<br />
<br />
<br />
I even learned how to drive a stick. Wow, it's about time!<br />
My good friend Brittan will be my travel companion for the first ten days out of the month long tour, and for the last week or so, my fiancee Paul will be joining me for the Italian leg of the tour.<br />
<br />
I'll be in a different town nearly every day, so there will be lots of photos and stories to go with them!<br />
<br />
I look forward to staying in touch with you, and your comments are most welcome as I'm sure I'll need some company especially when I'm flying solo.<br />
<br />
Till soon,<br />
<br />
xoxoxox Katrin<br />
