It’s been a busy Fall here in Fiddleville! In September, Le Bruit court dans la Ville did a northern New England mini-tour, with concerts and workshops in Fort Kent, Orono, Lewiston, Maine; Montpelier, Bellows Falls, and Randolph, Vermont; and Turner’s Falls, MA. October was stay-at-home month and the beginning of two fiddle classes: Back-up Fiddle for Cajun music, and the 10th Quebec Session Class (Favorites from the Olympia and Seattle Jams).
November started with a mini-tour in Washington with Dan Compton (concerts in Vashon, Lopez, Seattle, Bellingham, and Olympia. On November 17th, Dan and I will play our first Pendleton gig at Isaac Callendar’s Acoustic Shed series (see calendar for details). Then on November 19th and 21st, DÉJOLI makes its début with concerts in Ashland (Nov. 19th) and Seattle (Nov. 21st). DÉJOLI is myself, Déjah Léger and Josie Mendelsohn…music and songs from Quebec and Appalachia, with a side order of original tunes. EEK!! My first all-woman band (’bout time!). See calendar for details.
December…thinking about doing a couple of one-off workshops here and in Olympia and/or Seattle over the holiday season. Otherwise, I’ll be home. Hope to catch you at the Dec. 1st Quebec jam or the Dec. 20th Cajun jam here in Portland. If you’d like a lesson from far away, let me know and we can Skype! Cheers for the season. Make all the music you can…the planet can sure use the joy, harmony, and fellowship.
