Summer 2011
I'm always doing something new, whether writing music, performing somewhere, or coaching songwriters or other creative people. I would love to let you in on all the comings and goings of my musical adventures and there are two great ways you can stay up to date. One: 'LIKE' me on Facebook at Nancy Beaudette Music , and second, add your name to my email list to receive my newsletters via email. I hope you'll take advantage of both of these options, simply because it's more immediate than waiting for me to update this news page!

December 2009 - Two years in the making, "Honestly" was worth the wait. Emotional ballads intermingled with spirited upbeat songs complete a recording that has already garnered industry recognition. "Something Beautiful" was a finalist in the 2009 Mountain Stage New Song competition, and Nancy's performance of "Honestly" made her vocalist of the month with Singer Universe. "It Finally Took Losing You to Find Me" was co-written with Grammy Award winner Jon Vezner, and recorded in Nashville, TN, and will strike a chord with anyone who has grieved the ending of a relationship. The celtic influenced song, "When the Last Whistle Blows" tells the story about the closing of the paper mill in Nancy's hometown of Cornwall, Ontario, and features fiddler Brian Buchanan of 'Enter The Haggis'. "Hard Times", co-written with country artist Dawn Kenney, speaks to the hardship families are facing in the U.S. housing market. Nancy also had the amazing experience of working with Grammy Award winning artist Kathy Mattea. Kathy demoed "One Step Closer than Yesterday", a poignant ballad about the tragic death of friend Carole Larouche, and her version of the song can be heard on Nancy's MySpace page. "Honestly" is a CD that chronicles life experience with beautifully crafted songwriting.
