Looking back, going forward

aka what I created/co-created in 2021 and what's brewing/continuing into the New Year.

Bay Station's Beyond the Safe and Sound (April 9, 2021). Six new songs co-written with Kwame and recorded at home, in porches and remote studios.
Twin Lakes EP (May 21, 2021): Three new songs relfecting the events of 2020-21. Recorded at home and via flying in parts from the rythm section.
Bay Station's Love the Bay Video Series: We produced two new artist spotlight artists episodes (with Ben Bernstein (#16) and Francesca Lee (#17)) during a brief free & easy feeling window this summer AND a pandemic-themed Love the Bay Tour featuring single-song performances by nearly a dozen Bay Area artists. Available for your viewing pleasure on YouTube. Kwame and I plan to do another LTB SF Bay tour in the spring. We'll resume filming features when it feels safe to do so.
"A Whole Lotta Reasons to Freak Out" My co-write with Stefan Gustafson was released as a single. Watch the video HERE.
Upon review, I've a growing collection of as-yet-unreleased songs. Likewise, Kwame and I just came out of a week-long writing intensive in the desert so expect new music in 2022.

I ramped up my prose writing again this year, doing more freelance writing, continuing to edit The Bay Station Eagle zine, leading generative workshops and re-envisioning my old Bird in the Tree blog on Substack. Read/subscribe HERE.

The by-donation yoga classes I taught in the early days of the pandemic have morphed into a regular schedule. Find out more HERE.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments: I'd love to hear from you!
Here's to a happier new year, Deborah
