June Newsletter - Sweet Janes Shows

 


Hello everyone!

It was great to play my first show in a while at the North Reading Community Coffee House! Thanks to those of you who came out. Here is a video of a new-ish song I performed at the show, if you are interested in taking a look.
 
 This month I have two shows with The Sweet Janes (MaryBeth Maes, Lori Wadkins, and me), one tonight and one on the 30th. I love playing with these talented ladies; we always have so much fun. There will be fun covers, some original songs, and harmonies. Maybe I will see you at one of the shows?
 
In the meantime, hope you have a wonderful month, and thank you for your support!
 

:) Kirsten

Creative Musings

I like to find quotes about creativity. One of my favorites is on my fridge in the form of a magnet: Creativity takes courage. - Henri Matisse. I thought I'd share a few others I like in this month's newsletter, just for fun.
 
You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. - Maya Angelou
 
Inspiration does exist, but it must find you working. - Pablo Picasso
 
Creativity is a wild mind and a disciplined eye. - Dorthy Parker 

Creativity is a way of living life, no matter our vocation or how we earn our living. Creativity is not limited to the arts, or having some kind of important career. -Madeleine L’Engle


Good Stuff



Tim and I went to see the Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits exhibit at the MFA a couple of weeks ago. We actually plan to go back, as we want to spend more time there. It's amazing to me how his affection for this family comes through in the paintings. If you get a chance, I definitely recommend checking out this exhibit!

May Newsletter - Hello again! and New Shows and a New Song

Image
  Side By Side - A new song I am working on. Hi All! Remember me? I used to send you a newsletter once per month about music and creativity and things. I kind of pulled a disappearing act. Not on purpose - life threw some twists and turns (as life will do) and I had to put most of my focus towards some un-twisting and un-turning. But I am happy to say that things have straightened back out for the most part, and I am glad to be booking shows, writing, and am looking forward to being back out in the world playing music.  Above is a new song I started last year, and have been able to get back to over the past few months. I don't know if it's truly done, but it's close enough that I thought I'd share it. I hope you enjoy! I have a solo show this coming Saturday, and then shows with Dave and The Sweet Janes lined up over the next few months. I hope to fill in some dates with more solo shows as well.  Thank you so much for your interest and support! :) Kirsten Upcoming Shows...
