Heidi Chan Hi Ember, met you a couple of times when I was in the Cliks and also at the Ann Arbor Folkfest in 2007. Didn't know you went to Beijing - I've moved to Hong Kong since 2007 and am still doing music there (some electronic+Chinese stuff too in fact). Not sure if you passed by HK but would have loved to have seen you perform. Really liking your new tunes, esp when you're singing Mandarin. Cheers.

I'm loving all the igniting activism that the younger folks are fueling...it's contagious and appears to be spreading. I hope you are doing well...I'm hoping that maybe next year you will do another east coast USA tour. (I'm also loving Lentic)....

Ms Swift: Thank you! For bringing , Ms Sage 's Works to out attention. I've been listening for hours now, enjoying the Artisry and also the Celtic tongue(if I might word in the old way). This covers so much material and time spans...like a time capsule of so , so many ERA's! too much I'd like to say,though I'll probably come back soon. thank you again .

No problem, Karen. So glad to see that you're enjoying her work! Not sure if you're still the type to buy albums, but hers are worth the purchase. Don't forget that these days, we indie musicians need that kind of support more than ever! Thanks again for taking the time to listen to my friends' work! I'll pass along your comments. Take care, Ember

Introducing an Ember Swift that you've not heard - or seen, for that matter - before. The punky, folky, shaven-headed Toronto singer/songwriter with 10 albums under her overalls in just 10 years has changed, well, just about everything, including her stage name. ...
