Wintery Songs tour coming up!
Hello everyone - as you may already know I’ve sworn off all holiday-ish stuff before Thanksgiving - in fact I can barely stand Christmas music before the second week of December. Does that make me Grinchy? Possibly. But each passing year brings more commercialism. And the creep of advertising for thing-buying earlier and earlier is, well, creepy. What is a person to do? I think we need a reset on that holiday shopping button.
And so, bucking instinct, I’m writing to let you know that it’s time again for Wintery Songs in Eleventy Part Harmony! This year is our 8th Annual Club Passim performance. And tickets are already selling well especially for the 7:30 show. We are welcoming the great fiddler Mariel Vandersteel to our merry collaborative. Gather a friend or two and come sing with us! You’re bound to hear some familiar reqorkings of holiday tunes - LA FA FA FA FA! - and some new ones as well.

Avocet is out there on the interwebs. You can listen on spotify or pandora, download it from itunes, amazon or bandcamp. Even buy it there if you are so inclined. Checks are rolling in for digital sales - a mighty $137 this week - crushing all previous quarters by a factor of at least 3. I had the privelege of playing all the Avocet songs with Alec Spiegelman and Christopher McDonald on a sunny Sunday afternoon in a Greenpoint, Brooklyn bar a couple weeks ago. What a blast. I also performed in Alec’s October Barbes residency with Maeve Gilchrist and Daniel McDowell. Fun was had by all. Special thanks to a diehard crew of Barbes fans for coming out to that show! Hoping to play more regularly in NYC - and to get out further into New England in the Spring.
Still in love with Mary Burchenal's poem Barn. Still thrilled by Alec's arrangement of Build You a Barn. So proud of Ian Brownell and Maya Mumma's work to create the Build You a Barn video.
cheers,
Jennifer
