Gigging while on vacation. Got a seat for Kevin’s 12-string. And my cajon is a not-quite-within-dimensions carryon. Might be finding out about that fabled closet. Well, turns out they will strap them together. Ahhhh. Wheels up!

Kevin and I are taking our Sonoma sound to San Diego! If you have music-loving friends in or near San Diego, please share. 🙏🏻♥️🎶 #musicsky #musiciansky #ontour #Americana #sandiego #McGuffies

A gift from a coworker. For Kevin. Though Kevin says I might like to play it, instead. Hmmmmm. #makingmusic #musicalinstrument #dulcimer

So excited about expanding beyond the Bay Area! #musicsky #musiciansky #giggingmusician #Americana

Happy Friday! Music soon.

Got a gig in San Diego with hubby, Kevin Hutchinson. Bringing all my skills to bear. Or perhaps I have laid them bare? 🤣 Market research, booking agent, promoter, graphic designer. Here’s our new duo branding.

I just pulled out an old song of mine, charted it with almost no help, and played a portion of the melody on the keyboard with one try. This is huge for me. Now to find a local jazz band to sing it with. I have feelers out, but needed the chart to go with my a cappella recording. #jazz #songwriter

The office on Saturday. I really need a friend to video us, so we can have it for promo. I can’t do that and drum at the same time. Folks we don’t know have videoed us, but I haven’t asked for them. Maybe I’ll set up a tripod. On the plus side, strangers are becoming fans! #MusicianSky #MusicSky

Lovely gig at Brooks Note last night. Today is our trio, AKA, at a little wine bar near the coast with cozy outdoor seating. Sophie’s Cellars in Duncans Mills 2-5 pm.

Willard Blackwell, a local musician fighting ALS, is the subject of The Beat Goes On. Summerfield cinema at noon 1/23/25 in Santa Rosa. Tix on Eventbrite.

These guys should have a packed house. Dave Hooper Trio plus one (on mandolin).

Went on a foraging outing at Timber Cove, on California’s North Coast. It was quite the experience. No trails, uneven terrain. But, oh, who doesn’t like a scavenger hunt? And awesome chocolate pecorino mushroom cookies, mushroom pate and mushroom miso. Yum!
