Strangeweather live at Thirst For Light

Strangeweather played our new song Syrinx at Thirst for Light, a Cascadian Summer Solstice music festival. Someone taped it, hooray and thank you. This song is inspired by the mythological story of Syrinx, a nymph who fled the unwanted advances of Pan and was transformed into a reed in her escape. Pan then cuts the reed to make his flute or syrinx. There have been some interpretations of this story in music and art, but I find that some of them seem to sympathize with Pan’s mourning the loss of his “love.” I interpret this story differently, from Syrinx’s perspective, and as an allegory for the transformations people go through in their plights to survive. We are forced to adapt, we lose some of our identity, gain some other aspects, but it changes us.

Hilarious review of Dream Warriors

Check out this hilarious review that my split with Tin Tree Factory (Dream Warriors 2007) received.

Getting back on the bike, er, pennyfarthing….

Hello beautiful people. After what seems like a very long time, I will be playing solo shows. I am so lucky to have recently reconnected with some of my very folky friends whose music and supportive energy has inspired me to remount the pennyfarthing that is solo folk music performing; at times awkward and unsteady, but once you hit your stride, so totally glorious. I am also hoping to use this blog as a place to write about my travels. New songs and musings to come xoxo
