Song Circles
In recent years I've been introduced to a genre of call-and-response music called Community Singing, and I love it as a way to share music and build community.
Sign up for my song circle newsletter for upcoming events!

What happens when you add 70+ years of singing and life to 30+ years? The beautiful harmonies of friends across generations! Sharing laughter and joy with the wonderful Marian.

The Thanksgiving tradition you didn't know you needed: a family music video! Check out our YouTube channel for more.
Ray-of-sunshine Kathy and I are ongoing learners of music, and we support local musicians and creatives with an intimate and welcoming open mic night, bi-monthly at the Driftless Market in Platteville, WI.
The great Bruce of Prairie Lights String Band has been showing me the ropes of bluegrass jams. One of the wisest lessons I've learned: a good musician is not the one who outshines others, it's the one who makes other people sound great as each take their turn to lead. Good lesson for life too, eh?
Protest songs, songs for friends, songs to tell stories - songwriting has developed into another meaningful way for me to connect with others.
