Words Through The Seasons is here!!! - October 18, 2010

So excited to officially announce the release of my new CD, Words Through the Seasons.  If you get a chance, please click on the "Where am I Playing?" link.  I'm having CD release parties in Salt Lake and Ogden in the coming weeks!  The CD is now available for purchase on this website by clicking on the "Purchase CD's" link.  Thanks as always for your support.  Hope everyone is enjoying the fall season so far! 

Happy October and CD coming VERY soon! - October 4, 2010

Thanks for stopping by my cyber-home.  Words Through The Seasons is on its way back from duplication and CD Release Parties are in the process of being planned.  Yay!!  Click the "buy" button for the last chance to pre-order!  Pre-orders still include free shipping.  Lots of excitement in my musical world.  Just sent an update out to my mailing list with lots of details.  If you aren't on my mailing list, you can sign up by clicking the "contact" button and filling out the short form.  Hope you are all enjoying the fall; Happy October!

Portland Fun - September 24, 2010

Just got back from a great trip to Portland!  I played at the Portland Center for Spiritual Living, a vibrant and beautiful spiritual community, and In Other Words Bookstore, which is the country's last surviving non-profit feminist bookstore.  Great fun.  What a wonderful city Portland is; I was able to visit with some great new friends, and to reconnect with an old friend I hadn't seen in years.  Got to walk in some moss-covered woods with huge, thick trees, ferns, and wet soil.  Thankful for the journey and for all the beautiful people I met, connected with, and re-connected with there...

Words Through The Seasons is off to duplication! - September 10, 2010

Hooray!  So excited that Words Through The Seasons, my new CD, is off to duplication.  Thanks so much to everyone who has been involved in getting this project to that point.  Pre-orders are still available, but in a different format than before since we can't add anyone else's name to the cover at this point.  But all pre-orders placed include free shipping and are still much appreciated!!  Hope everyone is enjoying the start of the cooler weather and the promise of autumn in the air....

Pre-orders extended - August 26, 2010

This really wasn't a gimmick.  Just a case of running a bit behind on the design work, so I'm not taking down the pre-order button yet.  We are getting there, though!  You will be the first to know when we get to duplication.  So feel free to pre-order if you still want to!

Amazing Song School and Pre-orders Ending Soon! - August 18, 2010

Hello Friends!  I am just getting back from Lyons, CO from a week-long Song School in conjunction with Folks Fest.  What an incredible adventure!  This song school featured teachers like David Wilcox, Darrell Scott, and Steve Seskin (I know).  I had heard about it for years and decided to make it out this year.  What an incredible journey it was to be among so many other people who are so passionate about songwriting and to get so many perspectives from different teachers.  I know that my experiences there will continue to teach me for a long time.  In addition to the Song School, this was my first Folks Festival.  This is the largest folk gathering I have ever been to.  A self-professed "folk geek", I had the most amazing feeling of Community among the thousands of people singing every word with John Prine and other heroes of mine. Now I'm back home, playing catch-up and getting everything ready for the CD to go to duplication!  As planned, I mastered the CD at Airshow Mastering while I was in Colorado, and am so freakin' excited for how it has turned out!! 

I'm working on getting the design work together, so I need to stop taking pre-orders in the current form within the next couple days.  I can still take the straight order for the CD after this, but I'll have to finish the credits that will go into the CD.  So, if you are still interested in donating at the level where your name will be listed in the CD ($50 or more), I would love it!  Just make sure you place an order soon on the "buy" page if you want to be involved at this level.  I had a couple issues with the pay pal links not working and all of it should be working well now (although apparantly if you are using Internet Explorer's newest version they recommend switching to Firefox or Mozilla or another browser if you get an error message).  Thank you SO much to all of my "pre-order angels" who have wanted to be involved with the CD in this way- I have been SO amazed and so touched by the support from these preorders, and I can't wait to get you the final copy. 

Pre-orders still kickin' - August 5, 2010

Hi everyone-- Thanks so much for all the support so far with the pre-orders!  The support that I am getting from all of you on this project, in so many different ways, means so much to me!  The pre-order link is still active and I think we've worked out the kinks with getting the paypal link to work.  I was getting reports that the link either wasn't doing anything, or that it was giving an error message.  The bottons have all been regenerated and should be active now, and should take you to the paypal site.  If you get an error message after trying to donate w/ paypal, check what browser you are using.  Apparantly the newest version of Internet Explorer (8) doesn't always jive with paypal, so if you get an error message and are using Explorer, try doing it through another browser like Firefox or Mozilla.  I won't have internet access about the next 10 days, so if you do place a pre-order during that time, I will send you your album preview as soon as possible thereafter!!  Thank you so much again for all your support.  I have been so humbled and moved by the realization that so many of you believe in my music and want to support it!  Thank you for showing me and telling this in so many beautiful ways.  It inspires me to want to go to deeper levels of creating, and this is a gift that I can't thank you enough for.  Much Love, and have a great week!

Words Through the Seasons available for pre-order - July 30, 2010

As many of you know, I recently finished recording my second CD, Words through the Seasons.  It isn't totally finished, though.  Still need to Master the album, get the artwork done, and duplicate.  
At a recent gig, at the advice of my friend Ric, I made the CD available for pre-order and gave out a shorter  "Preview Album" with the pre-order.  I was blown away by all the support!  I was worried about not having the final product available but was amazed by how many people were so encouraging and genuinely excited to be part of helping me make it happen. Since then, others who have heard the preview through friends have been contacting me.  Thank you!!
I'd love to get more people involved at this stage of the project, and want to make the pre-order and preview CD available online.  I'm going to do it as a donation set-up, and am asking for a $15 minimum to pre-order the CD.  When you pre-order I will send you a digital preview CD, and when the CD comes back from duplication I will send it to you.  If you donate $50 or more, in addition to sending you the CD, I would like to list your name in the album credits (if you want me to).   I'm trying to get as many people involved as would like to be involved, and I'm excited about the possibilities.   
Thank you all for your encouragement, your stories, your support-- getting to know so many amazing people, on such a real level, through this sharing of something that is so very meaningful to me is the journey of a lifetime.  Thank You.
