It’s my birthday month and I’m debuting new work!  

In March 2020, just before the pandemic lockdown, I spent two weeks as a resident at Chalk Hill Vineyards, initiating work on what I envisioned to be a bird-themed musical. Then the world shutdown, it was hard to imagine staging anything, and my creative energy pivoted to porch concerts and local zines. But I've kept chipping away at the project here and there over the past few years, playing the occasional ‘bird song’ around the house and tending to my initial inspiration. So when me and Michael McNevin…

November Music: 19 Voices and What's Next 

It was exceedingly gratifying to help platform 19 women and nonbinary Voices for Choice to benefit the National Network of Abortion Funds on Sunday. Thanks again to those who came out to Casements Bar and supported our efforts. Between the amazing music and OvinLoven's off-the-hook bake sale we raised close to two thousand dollars to help those who need safe, fair reproductive health care. An energizing and inspiring day all around.  My co-conspirator in 19 Voices, Aireene Espiritu, and I plan to do more…

Live music in August 

I'm just returned from three weeks of camping, glamping, gigging, cabining, friends & family-ing, birding, hot springs-dipping, dinosaur-visiting adventures across the Western states. It was good for my mind and body to get out of town, see some new sights and generally reset for what's next. This month features playing a lot of relaxed, outdoor gigs with Bay Station and planning for some special shows and another Love the Bay tour this fall. I'd love to see you out there!

Live music this month
