So, tomorrow I’m playing music for the peoples of Capitol Hill and you are invited! 9pm. Donations appreciated. I’ll be playing a rare solo set of my songs on harp with vocals too. I’m featured artist the first set, the second set is open to jam for anyone who wants to.
The performance will be at:

The People’s Republik of Koffee
1718 12th Ave
9pm
Here’s a flier.

One other fun thing on my plate has been recording. I’m happy to say I’m finally committing my songs to some sort of permanent record. The plan is to invite guest friends to play on some pieces after I’ve got all the harp and vocals done. Last weekend, I worked on “Forcythia”, a song inspired by my youth growing up on an apiary in Northern Wisconsin, and Anne Sexton’s poem, “It is a Spring Afternoon.”

Phil and Sam from Hey Marsailles had me record some harp for their upcoming album too  – it was a fun way to spend a Saturday morning, in fact, it couldn’t have been better. They’re good guys with good songs and I can’t wait to hear the final product!

I’m so happy that our first rehearsal in many months went so well. Sheri Brown, Rosalyn DeRoos and I all met up for rehearsal joined by Baby Z, who enjoyed her first exposure to the clarinet.

The show will be at the Gypsy Cafe in (Wallingford) Seattle, which is a cute little all ages venue. It is located at:
3510 Stone Way North
Seattle, WA 98103
(206) 632-0647

Showtime starts at 6pm with Pretty Abandoned, then Black Eden at 7pm.

Black Eden: Nocturnes is a performance with the same name of a poetry book that I wrote, published by Pudding House Press. Copies of the book will be for sale at the show for $10. Here’s a photo of a performance we did in 2009 at the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center with Manifold Motion.
