It's nearly December already, and I confess I'm not ready for Winter... Wasn't it just August last week? Autumn seemed more fleeting than a murmuration of migratory birds this year, and I'm surprised to find myself turning more and more inward with each passing day, craving good books, hot soup, wool socks, and homemade bread...

To underscore that cozy yet foreboding feeling I get at the onset of Winter each year, I'm happy to share with you my latest release, a song called "The Coming of the Cold," which…

Fall is and always has been my favorite season -- crisp air, good coffee, warm conversation, sweaters, scarves, boots, and of course, elections... don't forget to register and VOTE, friends! Make your voice heard! Here's a handy registration/information link:  https://vote.gov

...and speaking of absolute whirlwinds, the September portion of my Fall 2019 Tour left me absolutely breathless!  October promises even more adventure, bringing concerts with musical kindred near and far:  co-bill dates…

Hello, friends!  

There's so much going on, I hardly have time to write... and since a picture is worth a thousand words (or at least the number of words that fit on the picture), here goes... 

Hope you're able to join me at one or more of these shows, or listen in on one of two LIVE radio performances this month:

Sunday, September 16 at 4PM:  Traditions with host RON OLESKO at 89.1FM in Northern NJ or online at WFDU.FM

Sunday, September 30 at 2PM:  The Catskills Cafe with host ARTIE MARTELLO at…

Happy August, friends!  Checking in just before I head off to Falcon Ridge Folk Festival... maybe I'll see some of you there?

Outside of Brooklyn, Falcon Ridge is the place I feel most at home. Seriously. And this weekend, I'll get to play my songs in a number places there:

• The Lounge Stage, Thursday 7:55PM, in-the-round with Steve Mayone and Cassandra House;
• Emerging Artist Showcase, about 2PM Friday afternoon (this is where it all began for Red Molly, and I feel super-privileged to get to do it…

Hooray!  It's festival season!  That means it's HOT HOT HOT for me, and not just in the literal sense...

Festival-goers in the Northeast can find me at two festivals in July, one in August, and one in September:

July 13, I'll be playing the 9PM slot on the River Stage at Black Potatoe Music Festival in Clinton, NJ.  

July 29, I'll be swapping songs with my dear friends MILES & MAFALE to open for the great TOM RUSH at Huntington Folk Festival in Huntington, NY.

August 2-5, I'll be at my very favorite…

only a handful of days 'til the close of the academic year for our middle-schooler and his fellow students here in NYC, and the sense of anticipatory joy the kids feel is contagious.  the attitude in brooklyn seems a bit lighter these days, even among usually stony-faced grownups.  the days are longer, the sun is stronger, and we go about with a spring in our step and sometimes even wish a pleasant "good morning" to our neighbors...

for me, summertime means festival time!  i've got a handful of dates on…

hello, friends!

it's a beautiful summer day here in brooklyn, and i mean that. as i type this, the temperature is 88 degrees fahrenheit, whereas just a few days ago, i was wearing a wool coat! you won't hear me complain, though. my heart and soul are dancing for joy in the light and warmth after the long, dark winter. i think spring may be arriving next week, but until then, happy summer, everyone!

in this merry month of may, i am delighted to report that SHIVER will begin hitting the airwaves! gigantic…

Hooray, it's Spring! Well, sort of... 

Be that as it may, no matter what the weatherfolk say, I'm calling it Spring because it's April and April means I'm back out on the road again in earnest, playing SEVEN shows in the Northeast this month -- two with NO FUSS AND FEATHERS and five solo -- and I am really, really excited about it! 

I'll be playing lots of songs from my brand-new record, SHIVER, and will surely have plenty of copies on hand at every single show. Click HERE to find details on where and…

today is the first of march, and that means i am now the mother of a twelve-year-old.  which is absolutely blowing my mind.  the soulful-eyed little bundle who arrived on a frigid afternoon back in 2006 is now a dancing, singing, songwriting, video game-playing, book-loving sixth-grade math whiz who showers me with love and amazes me every single day.  all of you more experienced parents who told me -- back when he was a squiggling infant and i was a sleep-deprived, guitar-playing hot mess -- that time…

It's ready, friends!!!  

Just a quick mid-month note to let you know that today is RELEASE DAY, so the wait is over:  SHIVER is now available for purchase in both physical and digital formats in our very own online store!  Here's where you can preview tracks and buy:
