Thank you so much to anyone reading this that attended this past weekend's performances with the museum, it was an outstanding success, a deep ceremony, and I am very grateful to you and the universe.....
I would like to share the studio recording and video art I am developing of my project commission "City Athena" before I share the live performance video of the Evergreen show, this will be soon, around early June. Here are some gorgeous pictures from the event,
taken by the stellar MAH photographer Libby Kastle!

It was my honour to participate in an event for the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History!
I was commissioned to create an original piece of music with harp and vocals to be performed before an audience at the beautiful and historic Evergreen Cemetary in Santa Cruz. I created City Athena, to be released soon.
Both nights of the performances sold out which was wonderful.
It was a dream gig for me, I worked very hard on this piece inspired by this place of history, and I was very excited to share it with my community in an amplified performance within my favorite peaceful graveyard, the one I like to visit anytime I need to feel a greater depth of connection to my own life and ancestors. The song is 27 minutes in length, it was my intention to honor with music the living present there and those who rest within the Evergreen Cemetary.

One of the best moments of 2021 so far.....a few Sundays ago I was busking in my favorite spot in Santa Cruz and I look up because I sense the presence of royalty and guess who is there.....the most talented woman, and family, in my opinion on this planet Earth....Gunhild Carling and the Carling Family!!!!!!!!!!!
Just an absolute honour to meet her. And my friend the wonderful musician Robert Perala, who I am standing next to, was also there. Making music opens up the doors in life to meet the coolest of cats,
I am a very lucky penny.
