Hey everyone! I hope August treated you well. I have been traveling quite a bit and won’t really slow down until mid-September. I’m excited to report a new addition to my schedule: Teaching at the <a href="http://www.sistersfolkfestival.org/american_song.html">Americana Song School</a> in Sisters, Oregon and then performing at the <a href="http://www.sistersfolkfestival.org/">Sisters Folk Festival</a> . I am filling in for <a href="http://www.terrihendrix.com/">Terri Hendrix</a>, who is unable to attend because of health issues she’s having. I’m both excited to participate and also sending lots of healing energy her way. If you know of her and her music, please send good healing thoughts and wishes. I really do think it helps!
