| Monday, June 30, 2014 Kenyon Hall, Cama Beach, We had another incredible month of music! Our first show in June was at the beautiful Kenyon Hall in West Seattle. Within these historic walls, music swirled and sang with warm voices and root beer float smiles. Camano Island was the next night! What a gathering of amazing souls to honour Dena Marie, long time StarHead and cheerleader. We enjoyed playing to the sea and the smiling faces at Cama Beach. On Friday, June 13 I did a radio interview on Alternative Talk Radio 1150 AM with Dena Marie as well as our first Bothell Farmers Market performance. The radio spot aired the world premiere of "The Wild", a song from my upcoming solo album. Twas a great day to talk about music community and then share the music with the folks at the market! What a charmed life we lead! Across the pond.. Captain and I traveled to Victoria the following weekend. My band Syren was playing the Victoria Folk Club on Father's Day. Seems like a tradition for us to play on Dad's Day. A special time with an amazing audience (full to fire code), standing ovation, encore and sold out of our CDs. I'd say that was quite the night! Melody and I recorded a few tunes the following day. Slowly but surely Syren's new record is coming! Inspiring Young Musicians My summer camp, Summer Voices, was a huge success! We had some wonderful talent this year! All the campers learned a few penny whistle tunes, created incredible art pieces, and we had an amazing recital. I am renewed, albeit exhausted, by this yearly camp. It's a ton of work and worth every hour of prep and enthusiasm. I am honoured to be a teacher. And thankful to have such amazing students in my studio, Syren's Voice Last weekend of June Susie's Night of Stars was the next performance opportunity on Sat June 28. My friend and engineer of my new solo album, Ron Allen, join me to play a wee set at this benefit concert helping a working mom with breast cancer. It was a beautiful evening of warm music and hearts. Next Stop... Poland!!! I leave in 10 days! The Arts Enriched English Language Camp presents a rare opportunity for Polish students (upper elementary through high school) to experience a curriculum focused on the Arts: visual, auditory, performance, and literary with classes conducted in the English language. Most schools in Poland do not offer Fine Arts Classes so this is a real treat for students interested in the arts!
August I return from Poland on the 7th and SeaStar's first show for August is Edmond's Concerts in the Park on Sunday August 10 at 3pm. I hope you can join us! Until then, Thanks for following, supporting, and sharing in the adventure!
