Greetings! Taking a glance through my records, I note that it has been a regrettably long time since I’ve sent a note to my music mailing list. Hopefully this note finds you well.
As you may be aware, this past year has been a very challenging one for me. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July of 2010 and was in aggressive cancer treatment until April 2011. I am very thankfully now in remission, growing hair back, gaining strength, and on my journey to wellness. I am celebrating my return to performing music in the weeks ahead that I wanted to let you know about…

An Evening of Jazz/Silent Auction fundraiser for The Boxberry School, 7:00 PM, at the school (301 Webber Brook Road, Oxford, Maine). I’ll be performing jazz music with Dawson Hill (vocals/piano) and Rusty Wiltjer (percussion). Dawson and I are also the music teachers for the school. Gourmet foods by Chef Erik Person, great items on auction, and sweet music – it will be an enjoyable evening! Tickets are $20.

Happy Mothers’ Day! I’m celebrating by singing the National Anthem for the Portland Sea Dogs Mothers’ Day/Breast Cancer Awareness Game. I’ve had the honor of singing for the Sea Dogs since 1999; this year I’ll also be singing as a breast cancer survivor. I’m looking forward to seeing the players wearing pink jerseys for the event!

I’m performing an original music concert, my first since my 2010 cancer diagnosis, at a great little venue that I performed at in 2006. It’s at the Saco Coffeehouse in Saco, Maine (Unitarian Universalist Church, 60 School Street). I’ll be joined by my good friends Vessel Recordings artist Heather Pierson (keyboard/guitar/vocals) and percussionist/potter Rusty Wiltjer. Tickets are $10 at the door. Open mic starts at 7:00 PM, followed by a 20 minute performance by a duo. We go on at 8:00 PM and will play until about 9:30 PM. I hope that you can come celebrate with us!
Save the Date! – Wednesday, 08/10/2011
It’s been years since I’ve performed for the Moore Park Concert Series in South Paris, Maine, and I’m excited to be returning for a concert this summer. Joining me will be Heather Pierson, Rusty Wiltjer and cousin guitarist Eric Brewer. Concert is free to the public and starts at 6:00 PM.
There is much more music to be written and life to be lived. Thank you so much for your interest in my music!
Blessings and best wishes to you,
