Summer 2008

Happy summer to all of you!
I believe summer is finally in Seattle, we've had some lovely days and I hope there will be more to come! My new recording, "The Chicago Sessions" is here! Mike and I will be doing a Pacific Northwest tour to promote it July 22-July 27, see "upcoming shows" page for details. You may purchase it via this website or at www.cdbaby.com.
I am also thrilled to be playing at Wolf Haven in Tenino, Wa. a couple times this summer. Wolf Haven is a sanctuary for wolves that can no longer live in the wild. I visited once, years ago, and am thrilled to be going back and playing music amidst these gorgeous animals (www.wolfhaven.org) and people that love them! Keep well and hope to see you this summer!

Happy Spring!
My news.....For St. Patirck's week, Mike Kirkpatrick and I played at Seattle's Irish Fest, which was hosted by the Irish Club of Seattle, thanks Ralph! It was really wonderful to play with Mike again!...since I last updated my "news", I have relocated to Seattle, and Mike remains in Chicago. We're hopeful that we will still be able to play together from time to time....and with a couple quick pick up rehearsals we were in fine form for our show! Lots of fun shows in the near future...a couple of boutique wineries..and the northwest folklife festival, and, of course the local coffee houses, which is where music for the folk abounds! When Mike was in town I got to hear the rough cuts of "The Chicago Sessions", the recording that he and I recorded in September 2007. It's coming along really nicely, it will be distinctly different from my last cd, with Mike as producer, and a good representation of what he and I worked on as a duo. Enjoy the spring!!

Hi! I thought I would add a little "news" section to my website....I am currently in the studio working with duo partner and producer, Michael Kirkpatrick. The next album will be the Celtic / Americana songs that he and I have performed the past couple of years as a duo....I'm thinking the album title will be, "The Chicago Sessions"...but stay tuned...one never knows.

Last month we played at Milwaukee Irish Fest's Celtic Roots stage, which was a delight. In addition to Mike, guitarist and singer Kat Eggleston and fiddler, Devin Shepherd sat in on a few numbers. We all had a ball...despite the torrential downpour!!!!

In July I was included on a compilation cd for an Indie Radio station, called Red Truck Radio. This station is a true labor of love by the talented Charlotte Ryerson. She has such passion for music and does such good for the folk community by promoting Indie artists! Thanks a million, Charlotte!!!!

Thank you for visiting my site and for your interest in my music. All the best for a wonderful autumn!
