She has also been featured on the Neil Young tribute album, Cinnamon Girl: Women Artists Cover Neil Young for Charity that was released on American Laundromat Records on February 12, 2008. Townsend was also featured in the award winning Canadian independent film, Just Buried. Townsend’s album Waitin’ and Seein’ is in rotation at CBC Radio 3 in Canada, and has been featured on Australian national radio (ABC).
