Hello Dear One,

It's been a year since I played my last live concert (you know, like, in a room, with other people, without masks!) My last live concert before the pandemic hit was a Valentine's Day show at the old Alba Schoolhouse in Ben Lomond. That beautiful, historic building burned down this past summer in the fires, and now looks like this:

... which seems quite representative of the way many things feel these days.
Do you feel me?  

Our collective experience of loss and fatigue continues as we struggle to stay afloat in the doldrums of winter and the ongoing global pandemic. It is all so uncomfortable.

However, change and growth tend to be that way, and there is also this in my Santa Cruz Mountain home, and this to me looks a lot like HOPE:

And so it is about HOPE that I will be singing, in my
--> FIRST SOLO LIVESTREAM CONCERT
on Wednesday February 24th @ 7pm pacific time.

This concert is a special "Folk Unlocked" showcase as part of the Folk Alliance International Conference 2021. All these particular showcases are open to the public. So I do hope you will join me.

--> Also, Sunday March 21st, Debbie Nargi-Brown & I will be gathering to sing in celebration of the Spring Equinox. You should join us.

--> Also, you should join me on PATREON. I'm releasing new music there every week and it's so fun! Soon I will make a proper video to explain it better, but believe me, it's awesome and you should check it out.


Hang in there my friend. Everything is temporary, and life, and love will always find a way.


with love & song always, 

your mama musician
