Hello my beautiful friends, fans and compadres,
Summer 2012 is well underway and I've been traveling with some wonderful musicians, spreading the good word of our blessed aural community as far as I can!
Last week I was at Wisteria Campground for Starwood, one of America's longest running celebration of diversity and alternatives in belief systems, lifestyles, and spirituality. I sang in the Pufferdome with Miguel Sague Jr and Miguel Sague III of Guaracha and I was joined by my husband of 10 years Tommy Amoeba, Princess Wei R Doe of the Subgenius Foundation, middle eastern percussionist Billy Woods, Pagan Jugband multi instrumentalist songwriter Kenny Klein, didgeridoo master Douglas Bischoff and together we made some wonderfully mixed up music at midnight on Fri the 13th in America's most popular inflatable dome nightclub. The week before Tommy Amoeba and Amoeba Knievel made their out of state debut at the same campground for the Subgenius annual gathering. I am home briefly for a show tomorrow and then I head back out, this time to NY state to SummerFest at Brushwood in Sherman, NY.
I would like you to consider coming out to one of these festivals with me, if not this year then next. My friend Kenny Klein has a great blog about why they are incredible:

All I know is that something special happens in my soul when I am around a fire and drums are beating and people bursting into song and there is art and mead and friends and community. Bonds are formed, friends are made, dreams are born (or realized) and transformation abounds. I mean, it's a camping event, if you don't like to get a little dirty, and you hate the idea of co ed clothing optional showers and drumming gives you a head ache, well, stay away. You should come to my show tomorrow at Cattivo, where there is air conditioning and when it's over you can go home to bed that hasn't been in a dampish tent... But then you won't wake up to moonlight, the smell of fires, but you can wake up to a coffee pot, so you have to make your own decisions.
In the next week, I hope you will decide to come to one of my shows......
