Hi y’all! Just wanted to let you know I’ve been flying below the radar during the past 18 months because I decided to go to nursing school! I just graduated and am starting to play music again. WOOT WOOT! While I’ll be touring less than I used to, I’ll still be playing a smattering of shows throughout the year, and sure hope to see you! I’ve missed my music world a bit, but am so excited to move forward with a greater sense of purpose for the second half of my life (assuming I’ll live to be 100). Many thanks for your continued support through the years. I’m incredibly grateful for the love you’ve shown to our family. xoxoxoxo

Cabin 10 presents: New Folk Old Folk Festival! March 25th! Fischer, TX. I’m incredibly excited to be playing the resurgence of this festival. Same place, new time of year, and being hosted by some of my favoritest people in the world. Hope to see you there! https://cabin10.org/show/

Super excited about a couple upcoming Colorado shows! Take a look at my tour page for all the latest info on upcoming dates!. Starting to get back at it! WOOT WOOT!

I’m incredibly excited about this upcoming tour in the mid-west! Please check out my tour page for detailed show information. I’ll be playing a beautiful artist series in Wisconsin, Storyhill Fest in northern MN, the Great Rivers Folk Festival in La Crosse, WI, and a smattering of other performances along the way. YAY!

Join me along with hosts Ellen Stanley & Anthony Ihrig to dig deep into my 2009 album, Call it My Garden. We’ll play songs from the record, talk about the process of making the album, and share cocktails (or mocktails if that’s your preference!). It’s a happy hour affair. And it’s free! AND SO FUN! You’ll be able to comment and ask questions, too.

Hi beautiful friends,

Just a quick message to let you know I have a couple SXSW showcase situations as well as an upcoming Pacific Northwest tour (including as far north as Vancouver Island, BC!).  This will be a family affair….shared shows with Danny. AND Maizy will be with us (we know she’s the biggest selling point of all).  After the PNW, we’ll be on the opposite coast for a string of shows, and then I head out solo to the UK for two weeks.  YAY!  It’s a busy time.  Lots of fun summertime festivals being booked.  It’s shaping up to be an eventful 2020, and we’re thrilled.  Please visit the tour page of my website for all show information.

Also, here’s the link to my latest newsletter.  We’ve been working through some newsletter issues as of late.  Most of the folks on our list haven’t been getting them for some reason.  We think we’ve figured it, but here’s the link in the meantime:

Sending love to y’all and hope to see you real soon.

Just had a wonderful time at the International Folk Alliance in New Orleans.  Seriously Amazing. Was wonderful to see so many friends, and make new friends, and play new songs, and all that good stuff.

Just wanted to let you know  Danny and I will be at the Houston Folklore Society on February 8th, and then have a nice break until April when we’ll head to the Pacific Northwest for three weeks of shows in and around Seattle, Portland, Northern California, and Vancouver, BC.  We’re really excited to get back to that part of the world.  We love it.

My friend Rob Hanning took this photo at Folk Alliance and I think he captured a beautiful moment. Thanks, Rob!

Love y’all so much and hope to see you real soon.
