House Concert Tomorrow and Topsfield Fair - September Newsletter


 

Hi everyone,

This will be a shorter newsletter, as I sent out the August one late in the month.

First, I just want to remind everyone about the house concert in Woburn tomorrow, hosted by Nancy and Tim Walsh, wonderful live music supporters. Tim Foley will be playing as well, and we are really looking forward to this show. I have played Tim and Nancy's house concert series before, and had a really great time. To RSVP and receive the address, please email nmwalsh1219@gmail.com.

And at the end of the month Dave and I return to the Topsfield Fair. This is always one of my favorite events of the year. I love to play and sing, and then take part in all the fair has to offer - agricultural events, rides, fair food and more. It's a fall tradition!

Hope everyone is having a great September so far, and hope to see you out at a show!

:) Kirsten

Good Stuff

I  have been a big Marty Stuart fan for years, and I have really been enjoying his latest album Altitude. It has a definite vibe - kind of Bakersfield sound influence. One reviewer used the term "cosmic cowboy." Anyway, I highly recommend the whole thing. It's got great playing, both by Marty and his Fabulous Superlatives band members all super talented musicians. I also always admired his lyric writing - simple and concise, but still able to say a lot. I really love all the songs on this album, but two I'll choose to highlight are "Country Star" and "The Angels Came Down."

    (view of Boston skyline from Peters Hill at the Arnold Arboretum) Hi everyone, Thank you to the folks who came out to see the Sweet Janes and the Jimmy Tingle shows earlier this month. They were a blast. Just a lot of fun and a lot of laughter. It's nice to connect with people that way. This Friday I will be performing a show with Mark Bishop Evans at the North Reading Community Coffee House. This is a great listening space, and I look forward to being able to play a bunch of my songs - some newer and some I haven't played in awhile! Mark has moved to Arizona, and is back in the Northeast for a short tour; it will be nice to hear his originals again. And we have Mary Ann McAllister as a special guest opener. All the info is below! As always, thank you for your interest and support! :) Kirsten Upcoming Shows      Friday, April 26 Kirsten solo North Reading Community Coffee House Flint Memorial Library 7 - 9:30 p.m. North Reading, MA   This show is a co-...

Jimmy Tingle, Sweet Janes, and North Reading - March Newsletter

  Hi all, Happy Spring! My jonquils (pictured above) have started to bloom. Spring is definitely arriving. We have had so much rain here. I know it will mean things will be green and pink and purple and pretty, but I have definitely been craving the sun, so I am glad it is sunny where I am today. I have some super fun shows that I am excited to tell you about. This coming week I will again be opening for Jimmy Tingle - this time on Sunday afternoon in Wakefield, MA. Tickets can be found at jimmytingle.com . If you haven't caught his Humor for Humanity show, you really should. It's hopeful, uplifting and there will be much laughter! And speaking of laughter, there's always a lot of it when MaryBeth Maes , Lori Wadkins, and I get together as the Sweet Janes, which we will be doing this coming Saturday night. We always have a great time hanging out, singing harmonies on some of our favorite cover songs, plus throwing in some originals as well. Then at the end of the month I wi...

Woburn and Marblehead Gigs - July Newsletter

   Buttermilk Falls, Ithaca, NY Hello all! What's up, everyone? It's nice to be in your inbox again. I took a couple of months off from sending a newsletter. I was trying to give myself some down time in a few different ways. I'm not sure it totally worked - life always seems to throw us some surprises, doesn't it? But Tim and I did get away in May to the Finger Lakes region of New York, which is where the photo above was taken. But I've got some fun shows with Dave lined up for the summer, and two of them are this month. That information is below. Those of you who have been reading this newsletter for awhile know how much I love playing outdoor gigs, so I am really looking forward to my summer gigs. I hope you all are having a nice summer so far, and I hope you savor it - this season always go by so quickly. Thank you for reading, and hope to see you out at a show! :) Kirsten Upcoming Shows      Friday, July 12 Kirsten & Dave 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. The Brickyard ...
