Well hello...it's been a while!

Since I last wrote, quite a lot has happened. We had a successful Kickstarter campaign (thank you all), then we finished the album and had it sent of to press. Right after all that, I had a baby! Jeremiah James Lively was born on April 14, 2014...I am including a few pictures of him below. It has been a wild adventure ever since. It feels like it has been forever & also just the blink of an eye at the same time...


I have been sending out all the Kickstarter packages, and we are finally at the very last ones (whew!) It took a lot longer than I thought it would, but I know everyone was expecting that and has been wonderfully patient. Now that the CDs are in y'alls hands, it is time to start thinking about the release. I am planning for a Fall release and will send the details as it gets closer. Until then, if you don't have a copy yet and would like to get one, just let me know and I will send it your way!

This weekend I will be going to Topeka, KS for the Last Minute Folk Concert Series at UUFT. The show is on Saturday August 16th at 7:30pm. If you are in the area and would like to attend, you can purchase tickets here: http://lastminutefolk.org/next-up-for-last-minute-folk/

I hope that you are doing well. Send me an update or just write back to say hello! I would love to hear from you...

Have a great day!!

It's a New Year with exciting new adventures!

Happy 2014!!

Wow. We are already 14 days in the the new year of 2014! I hope that everyone is doing well and feeling inspired for the year ahead. I haven't written in a while, but we have been busy continuing to work on the next album and also getting ready for the new addition to our band (well, if he is into music that is...)

It has been a little crazy trying to do it all at the same time, but we are working hard to move forward and see about getting things all ready before the baby comes. We really will be needing to reach out to our community for support in this project now more than ever. We are keeping the budget low, and will be launching a Kickstarter campaign in just a few weeks to try & help offset most of the cost. If you all can help us to spread the word when this happens, it will help us keep it short & sweet. We just really would love to meet our goal and be able to move forward & release these new songs into the world, and share them with all of YOU!!

In the past couple of weeks, we have had an outpouring of love and support coming our way from all our friends, family & community. I am feeling so very grateful for all of you and feel excited to enter this new chapter bravely. Having so much encouragement really makes a huge difference in our lives and I only hope that I can give back to you all in some of the ways that you are giving to me. All I can do for now is send LOVE, say THANK YOU and continue to create songs & art and put it out there hoping it will have a positive effect in the world in some small way...

I wish you the best in the year ahead.

Love,

Vanessa
