Hello surfers, Here it is, my first blog entry :) I will try to write as much as possible about my life as a singer and include some personal stuff as well. The festival season has opened and Epica is going to visit many countries! I am so excited. I love festivals, the ambience, the food, the smell, all the great bands. Let's hope that the sun will make an appearance as well. The sun is, at least for me, one of the ingredients that make a festival successful. At my 'Dates' section you can find all the gigs we have planned for 2009. Our new album is recorded and the last bits and pieces are put together. We've had a photoshoot and I'm working together with a talented artist on the new Epica artwork. Besides all of that I heard some good news today that made the rain disappear. It will take some more time until I can inform you more about it. If you are hungry for more info on Epica, please go to: www.royalartistclub.com/epica Until next time! Love, Simone
