My apologies - I haven't been very good at keeping my blog posts up to date lately, but I have been up to quite a bit musically in the months since I've written last!
Please feel free to follow me on my other social networking sites to catch the recent news - Facebook and Twitter.
This is certainly turning out to be a musical summer...
I'm performing at the Norway Arts Festival in Norway, Maine, this Saturday, July 14th, at the Ganderia Middle School/Hathaway House area of the festival from 10 to 11 AM. I'll be accompanied by Vessel Recordings Artist Heather Pierson and percussionist/potter Rusty Wiltjer. Then at noon I join composer Steve Jones and other vocalists to present music from the upcoming OHMPAA production, "The Road To Eden's Ridge: The Musical." The musical is based on the novel by M. L. Rose (Myra McLarey and Linda Weeks), and the musical adaptation is written by Sally Jones and Steve Jones. I'll be auditioning for a role in the theater production in August, and the show will run November 8 through 18th. For more information about the production, see the
OHMPAA site.
Other upcoming performances include Founder's Day in South Paris, singing the National Anthem for The Portland Sea Dogs, and two performances at the Oxford County Fair, one as The SuperMoon Trio (Kristen Short/Dawson Hill/Rusty Wiltjer) and one with Heather Pierson & Rusty Wiltjer. See my web site for details at Kristen's web site.
Thanks to all for support of my song "Chairs," dedicated to The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing. Fifty percent of the sales of the "Chairs" CD single/DVD music video benefits The Dempsey Center/The Dempsey Challenge. The kind words and support I've received about the song and video have been so wonderful!
In June I was back in the recording studio to start work on my next full-length original music CD that I plan to release next year. Details to come!
Best wishes and hope to catch you at a performance soon,
Kristen
