MARK WEBSTER ONGOING FUNDRAISER:

If ever there was a time I wish I was rich, it is now.

Our dear friend Mark Webster is ill with a rare form of cancer called pseudomyxoma peritonei and we are unsure what kind of time he has left.
He was diagnosed in 2007 and has had multiple surgeries since yet the cancer cells keep growing.
Mark's hopes are to see as much of the world as possible while he can. As well, the costs of day to day living don't go away and when you can't work, money becomes an issue.
I am not asking for donations for anything at all to do with my career, but solely trying to help a dear friend's cause.
I’ve never been more passionate about raising money for a cause in my life.

Don't feel obligated if you can't. Those who don't have much aren't who I'm asking. Every bit helps. Whether it’s $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100 or more.
I always said I had the greatest friends and fans that anyone could ask for.
This would be a great time to shine through.
Romi Mayes

For those that can and do, I thank you deeply and also whole heartedly on behalf of Mark, Romi Mayes

OTHER NEWS:

--"AFTER THE SHOW" is completed! Filmmaker Steven K Johnson spent well over the last year completing the full length documentary on Romi Mayes and Jay Nowicki, following their careers with a focus on the making of their latest album 'Lucky Tonight'. "Making a legitimate living as an artist has rarely been easy. In late 2010, Romi Mayes- a single mother of one and touring musician- teamed up with life-long friend Jay Nowicki to write and perform a live, original electric-duo album. "After the Show" is a tribute to all independent musicians, chronicling the utter commitment to an art form where success is measured by creative persistence instead of widespread financial fame."

FEBRUARY 2013:

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Well winter is almost over... (wishful thinking) and I am still hoping to do some hard core laying low and do some more writing for a new album. Would be extremely advantageous to get the Canada Council songwriting grant I have applied for, but I won't know until March, or so. Here's hopin!

Next major tour we have after a couple more months of Manitoba shows is in May when we go over the pond to Italy and the UK. Some tour dates are posted on the tour page and some are still coming in.

The most relevant news bit these days on my mind is the constant fundraising I'm doing for Mark Webster. Please check this link for more info on a dear friend with terminal cancer who hopes to be able to see some of the world in the limited time he has left. Everything helps so please consider even a humble contribution. Click this link for more info and an opportunity to donate to a worthy cause.

Other than that, you can keep up with us on Facebook or Twitter. We sure appreciate all of you caring and staying with us. Thanks so very much,

Romi
