Why yes — yes indeed, I am still making music. In between the living life and the dreaming about it, between teaching guitar and tending littles, I do occasionally write a song and occasionally share it.
I guess the big news for me is that I am heading back into the recording studio, with dreams of making an EP of songs by the end of the year. (EP, meaning extended play recording – not quite as long and involved as a whole album, but just as fun.) There are about five songs I have wanted to record, and now’s the time. I’m hoping to have it recorded and ready by Christmas.
As for performances that are coming up, I am joining some fabulous artists on Stage at the Bountiful Davis Art Center on April 27th for an acoustic concert benefitting the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Check events on my website for tickets to that. Its a very affordable night of music. Tickets are $8 / person or $45/ family. Come join us!
On June 8th I’ll be back on the new stage at the Bountiful Davis Art Center for an intimate evening of music hors d’oeuvres and an open mocktail and soda bar. Sharing the stage with me that evening will be the fabulous Jon Schmidt, of the Piano Guys, and Cherie Call, a dear friend and fellow singer-songwriter. Tickets for this exclusive BDAC fund raiser are $100 a piece, and the first 25 sold are guaranteed seats up close and personal. A link for tickets to this concert is also on my events page.
And just on the heels of that performance is the Clytie Adams Ballet Recital. Mark Robinette, Kelly DeHaan and I have written songs and will be performing them while the cutest dancers on the planet perform on stage at the beautiful Browning Center at Weber State University.
I also take music in to beautiful people who are not able to come out to concerts. About four times a month my guitar and I visit rehab centers, assisted living and nursing homes, and other facilities.These are some of my favorite gigs, many of which are facilitated by the awesome non-profit organization Heart & Soul, for whom I have been taking shows to shut-ins for nearly twenty years.
I hope you are well, in your hearts at least, and that you feel comfort through the goodness that is found all around us, as I do.
Hope to see you in the audience, in one of my guitar classes, or beside me on my family room couch one of these days.
All the best,
Cori
