Summer Sizzle & Slumber

The remainder of summer flew on with great wings! From Tumbleweeds to twinkling moments, I soaked in every moment of it! And now, the trees are blushing...
Autumn is upon us.

Tumbleweed Music Festival

Over Labour Day Weekend, we played at the Tumbleweed Music Festival It was breathtaking! Firstly, the wind kicked up and almost blew us over. We saw trees dancing and tumbleweeds.. well, tumblin'! I wondered if that was why the festival was called Tumbleweed! Wow!
Luckily, we didn't blow away. Many of our musical friends were there and it was a pleasure to stroll under old Oak trees and hear the songs from old to new.

I was selected as one of the finalists in the Tumbleweed Songwriting Contest. I was humbled and privileged to play with 9 other talented folks in the contest concert. I didn't take home a prize but was honoured just the same.

We had such a grand time playing near the Columbia River on the South Stage on Sunday afternoon. The crowd was stellar! Hoops and Hollers! We sold out of our CDs! wow. Thank you soo much for the warm reception! We LOVED playing for you!

While Kelly was away at Burning Man, we were thrilled that our friend Ron Allen could accompany us on this journey. We had a swell time with him and look forward to other musical adventures with him and his band Wynne C Blue & Her Troublefakers.

Urban Coffee Lounge

Urban Coffee Lounge was on the 5th of September. Always a pleasure to play at this fine coffeehouse! We sang songs of summer and got the place rockin'! Such a treat for us! Thank you!

Farmers Market

I played my final Bothell Farmers Market for 2014 on the 19th. It was such a warm day. There wasn't shade for me at the market so I decided to sing at the end of the boat! It was a perfect place to bring forth a song.

I had a fan travel 2,400 miles from Galveston, Texas to hear me sing! That's right! Ross, a lovely piper whom I met while Dougie MacLean was in town last fall, came strolling through the village and made a few requests! It was wonderful to see him again! I was soo surprised!
Thanks Ross!

Castle Walls

It's finally finished.
Ron and I went over to Chris Hanszek's studio to get the album mastered. 12 tracks. Some traditional, mostly original, and thankfully finished. This is the longest project that I have ever had. Travel puts many things on hold. I am grateful for the immense amount of time that Four Lumen Studio put into this record. I am equally thankful for the amount of talent from dear friends that also went into this recording.
I am finalizing the artwork and very soon I will have a brand new record to bring to you!
Save the Date!
CD Release Party
will be held Saturday November 22 at
Soul Food Coffeehouse in Redmond.

Slumber

Our show schedule is slim at the moment. I need a little time to recharge and regroup. Thankful for all the wonderful support and love from all over the world.
This life is truly a gift.
The new year will bring SeaStar back into the studio. We have a ton of new music that we cant wait to record for you! So good things are coming....

Get lost in the magic of Autumn

With love,
