Woke up to this view and -20 degrees.

Waking up to messages like this from a high school classmate sure brings a smile to my face.

My son had a magical album release show at @firstavenue.bsky.social

“Thanks for makin’ me, Mom.” was the last sentence my son said to me on our hike today … his 22nd birthday. 🎉

I have teamed up with @jillianrae.bsky.social and two other powerhouses who are helping to amplify women’s voices breaking down the patriarchy. A show not to miss! Sponsored by @ellensmojo.bsky.social 💜

NEXT UP - Starry Sky Serenade at Underground Music Cafe with Katy Tessman and the Turnbuckles, HebbaJebba, Doyle Turner Music, and Amanda B. Perry on Friday, January 17 at 7- 10 PM. The show promises an unforgettable evening filled with diverse musical styles, showcasing talented local artists.

A long time ago, from 1992-2002, I wrote songs & performed in the #MinneapolisMusicScene. I met a powerhouse of a woman, @katyvernon.bsky.social; I was drawn to her guts & glitz. Fast forward to today, Katy V has written a #feminist new anthem, & I get to open for her this FRIDAY 1/3 at Aster Cafe.

Raise readers!

KATY & KATY - performing at the Aster Cafe in Minneapolis on Friday, January 3rd to celebrate @katyvernon.bsky.social single release #NotGoingBack, a new #feminist anthem for everyone. 💪💜🤟 JOIN US❣️ Reserve your seats at Aster.com

Escaping the city for this? Please and thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Tessmans!

My submission to @katyvernon.bsky.social ‘s music video for her new song.

This “look back at 2016” makes me smile. I hope it does the same for you.
