Colleen and Paul

SKIPPING GIRL VINEGAR, COLLEEN HIXENBAUGH

OLD MUSEUM, Brisbane QLD: 24.06.11
After having taken an incredibly long route to get here thanks to the ash cloud, Canadian Colleen Hixenbaugh appears on stage slightly jet lagged but full of excitement. It’s the first time she’s performed sans her partner-in-crime, Paul, and while it’s a bit noticeable the songs are meant for a duo, she still pulls them off with finesse. Her breezy voice is simple and honest, as are her songs about snow globes and mermaids. After an encounter with Ray Davies of The Kinks earlier in the week she even slips in a cover of Too Much on My Mind in his honour. — “Time Off Magazine, Live Show Review”

A belated and many thanks goes to the fabulous film crew of Virpi Kettu (Director), Barclay J. Maude (Producer) and Sami Haijar (DOP) for lending their magnificent talent, time, and endless smiles while shooting a video for “Crepe Suzette”. The video is being completed in Colleen’s favorite British village of Box, UK and will be set to sail for June/July 2011.

Colleen will be making her solo acoustic debut in Australia this summer! She will be performing in support of Australia’s beloved ‘Skipping Girl Vinegar’ and their upcoming May 2011 album release. Colleen’s set will showcase some brand new unreleased ‘Colleen and Paul” tunes. Sea and surf is on the rider and there will be a mandatory night swim after each concert performance. See you at the beach! Spread the word to friends and folks down under! CDN/USA/UK 2011 dates to be announced soon!

“A gently strummed, understated gem, Colleen Hixenbaugh’s breezy voice twists through the complex emotions of a free-spirited girl making her way in the world, while Paul Linklater’s guitar rings out like an indie Glen Campbell.” – Andy Fife, Feb 2011 Q Magazine.
