A new journal update from Terri

Just a short note to all…

I am looking forward to chatting with some of you tonight, and SO appreciate all of your support and attendance at these shows. I’ve seen some US fans crossing the border, and the Vegas show looked like a TCFC party. Thanks to everyone for all the thoughtful gifts as well, to name a few, the beautiful diamond cross, the chocolate (my ass thanks you), the Starbucks card, and the truly special and sentimental gifts like the 10 year sobriety chip, and wooden wine cup, plus all the cards and letter I had for bedtime reading..

I feel so humbled ( and at times undeserving) when you give me tangible items that symbolize such special milestones and moments in your lives, but I do not, for one second take any of that for granted, and cherish those things that have meant so much to each one of you.

The shows have been such a blast for me – they’ve made me want to laugh and cry all at the same time.
Words can’t express how I feel now that I’ve come full circle back to exactly what it is God put me here to do and deliver. The long way home feels really good, but has been quite a journey, and one that I am thrilled to have you all along for.

I will be touring in some different combinations next year, everything from full band shows, to stripped down trio shows, and then shows where it’s just me, alone, and unplugged, stripped, and exposed…uh, well you know what I mean.

We are currently looking at putting together a string of shows in a bunch of very accessible/cool US cities at places across the country, in rooms that seat between 2-500 people. This will allow me to do what I feel I do best; just connecting on a personal level, with my guitars, and maybe a few little surprises along the way. Judging from the response I have been getting from my acoustic solo segment during this Canada tour, It has inspired me to do more of the same. Many people have come to me afterwards saying it was the show’s highlight for them. I started out this way, when I was a kid, playing for tips at Tootsies orchid lounge. I want to get back to basics, and just let it all hang out, as raw as possible. It will be a show that tells my journey along with some older hits, but also more songs from “Fearless” and the new album as well. I am taking a different road than what is traditionally expected, and have forgone some of the more predictable ways of touring to take a chance and do something that will feed my soul a little more….it’s non-negotiable at this point. I can’t wait to share the venues and cities with you once we get it all finalized, but I am REALLY looking forward to it.

Thanks to all of you for getting my Facebook fan numbers up, and following me on Twitter…I will tweet until I can’t tweet any more…but I don’t want to tweet so much that I get annoying. We will continue to post vlogs and are saving a few pics for after the tour is over so you guys have something to look at that is new.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all…talk to you soon…
