We are almost coming up to a year since I launched my Kickstarter! Some people use Kickstarter when they have all the recording done and just need that last push to pay for manufacturing, packaging, and marketing. I didn’t wait for that! I knew that without help I wouldn’t be able to even step foot in… Continue reading Recording update, Tee Design, HazelFest and more!!

So….. I’m still making a record : ) Update…. I wanted to check in and let you know that by the end of this month we should have all basic tracks done.

Gratitude and Grammy winners
I get so caught up in keeping up that sometimes I forget to take a moment to reflect. The past two weeks have been an incredible ride. Ukefest was bigger and better than ever at its new home. The stunning ‘Hook and Ladder’ theater. We raised $1,200 for both Arc GTC and The Minnesota Music Coalition… Continue reading Gratitude and Grammy winners
Receiving and giving!
As of this blog.. 196 people have already pledged support so that I can make my next record. That is mind boggling and my favourite part is that the majority of them are $10 or $25 pledges (more is amazing too of course) which means people are pre-purchasing the music by allowing me to make… Continue reading Receiving and giving!

Going home
It’s been a while since I blogged here. I have actually been writing more for other outlets. I wrote a blog for ‘Dissonance’ online community (http://www.dissonance.website/) and then ‘Savour’ magazine (http://www.presspubs.com/savour/article_ef1441c0-0845-11e7-a272-4f98c5ed1918.html) asked me to write a quartlery series of articles about mental health, recovery and creativity! Phew. That’s been a lot to take on and has… Continue reading Going home
Better new year
Hi everyone, Thanks for the support last year and prior to that for some of you. It’s hugely appreciated. This was a tough one personally and I am grateful to have had music as an outlet, my band as an escape, friends and family’s love, the mental health and recovery communities resources, and all of… Continue reading Better new year
A new chapter..
I decided to use my blog as a starting point for more than just my musical musings and updates. These will be mostly reflections of my upbringing as I start to collect together ideas to share or not share as more of a collection with my children, friends and community. As way of an… Continue reading A new chapter..
Eat, Drink (or not) and be Merry (or not)…
It’s time to talk… This has been a year! Instead of wallowing in how tough it’s been for me personally I am looking ahead. I didn’t even know how bad I was feeling until it became unmanagable. That led me to ‘Dissonance’, an organisation that supports people and opens up dialog between the arts and… Continue reading Eat, Drink (or not) and be Merry (or not)…
