"nowhere, texas" is a new song for you but an old song for me. I recorded it during my session for The Hurry and The Harm. I knew as soon as I listened to it there was a better place for it than the album.

I've held on to it all this time and chosen to release it as a way to bring attention to something around us everyday: violence against women.

I wrote the song after watching a movie, Texas Killing Fields. I couldn't shake the real story of a lonely road that became the final resting place of missing women. This song tells that story - but sadly this road does not stand alone. Places like this are everywhere.

This weekend marks the 25 year anniversary of the Montreal Massacre - the day 14 women were murdered and another 14 people were injured at the hands of a single gunman because they were women. December 6 is Canada's National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

"nowhere, texas" will be available to purchase digitally on Friday, December 5 worldwide. All profits will be donated to the YWCA of Canada's Rose Campaign as they work to reduce violence against women, increase public awareness and prevent violence before it starts.
