Kathleen Edwards Leaving Music?
Ottawa’s very own and amazing Kathleen Edwards might be leaving music. The 11-time Juno nominated folk singer song-writer has four excellent and passionate albums under her belt spanning over a decade. I am so glad to have seen her this past year at Beau’s Oktoberfest, she blew me away. We here at Ottawa Showbox wish her the very best no matter what she decides to do. We feel that life is too short to do things you are not passionate about, and one must be true to one’s self. Go get ’em Kathleen. Here is the post from her Facebook account today:
“I’m really sorry but I’m pretty sure I don’t want to make music anymore. And I feel like I’ll be disappointing people, but I just can’t seem to get back in the saddle. I’m saying no to gigs and feel like I need some kind of change. Maybe this feeling will pass, and maybe it won’t, but I hope you’ll understand it isn’t for lack of love and support i’ve had from you all…
Landscaper?
Coffee Trailer owner?
Farmer?
Stittsville eating spot?
hmm…..”
While Exclaim reported this earlier today, Kathleen responded with this on Twitter around 3 PM EST:
i didn't say i was quitting music
i said i've run aground
music is life.
but i'm stalled as fuck.— Kathleen Edwards (@kittythefool) February 11, 2014
