Thankfully I have found a job to support myself with. In fact, it is giving me quite a run for my money, appropriately enough. So I'm very happy to have two upcoming creative respites on my schedule.

The first is quite a pleasure for me, as I will be sharing a line-up with two dear friends of mine, who together comprise the duo of Goli. Valerie Thompson of Goli will also be lending her cello skills to my songs; lucky me!

The second is one where I get to share my poetry with whomever wishes to lend an ear; a Poetry Harvest in my own hometown. Click on the SHOWS page for details!

I write to you in the midst of job hunting and part-time summer work, reinspired by a weekend full of wonders kicking off my summer. Serendipity bonked me on the head in the form of a storytelling private gathering I had the blessing of performing at. It has reminded me of the joy of sharing my songs, and I hope to play in the Boston area again some time within the coming months at a public venue.

I am also thrilled to share news of an upcoming performance with Diane Cluck in Brooklyn. Hop over to the "shows" page for details. And better yet, show your beautiful face that night!

I have show in the upcoming shows section! A miracle. And I have also updated the past show log. I am very excited about quite a few things. Firstly, after a long four years, I have finally graduated with a Master's degree! This year has been very good to my musical life, which especially of late has been in full swing. I just returned from a tour with Jaggery, and now I am gearing up for what will be an evening full of splendor, twists, and enchantment known as Tale. I will be playing two songs of my own (one never before performed) with cellist Valerie Thompson (the joys of collaboration!!). There will be much music, there will be animation, there will be dance, poetry, and even trapeze!

I know that after this summer looms the necessity of full-time work, and I am afraid, sliver-time music. But once I have adjusted I will try to work out a balance in order to keep my creative heart content.

We shall see what unfurls...

In the meanwhile I am making hay while the sun shines like nobody's business.

I have updated the show log, egregiously after the fact, but better late than never. A new year has snuck up on me again, and I find myself frustrated with how I have spent my time--that is, that I have not devoted enough of it to music. I'm not sure this year will be much better either... I'm currently in my final year (fingers crossed) of graduate school, and should be done in December. I'm hoping that post-grad school life will allow me to have some more free mind space which I can fill with songwriting, singing, and performing. If not, I'm going to have to make some lifestyle adjustments!

As Wordsworth wrote to his friend once in a stunning sonnet:
"Creative Art . . . demands the service of a mind and heart."

But for now, I need to focus on school and getting through 'til graduation. Ah, patience is a virtue.
