Wow, what a summer! Big changes are brewing with the band I’ve spent the last 6 years of my life on. I’m wishing the best to my friend and bandmate Carolann as we finish up the last few shows in our original formation, while working to get ready for the new formation of the band with Molly Venter. Our last show together is at The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, where the band started, and we’ll be playing a great slot on Saturday night. It’s exciting and emotional, but fitting.
Also, at the end of the month I’ll be teaching songwriting at the prestigious Swannanoa Gathering in North Carolina!! This will be my first time teaching and I’m really excited about it. I feel like I can bring together things I’ve learned from every part of my background, including attending Song School and Rockygrass Academy in Colorado, studying classical music, going to Jack Hardy’s NYC songwriters group, and even studying sensory integration and occupational therapy in college.
I’ll be posting the first Slide Sessions Podcast video next month, too! Wahoo!
