It's still pretty darn chilly here in Brooklyn, but I choose to believe Spring has sprung. Not just because my calendar tells me so, or because I have spotted crocuses and daffodils in bloom, but because I no longer feel like the day is over at 4:30PM, which is the time I'm writing this missive. Say what you will about Daylight Saving Time, but I am selfishly in favor of it. I secretly call it Sanity Saving Time. More light longer into the evening makes me feel more alive and optimistic, no matter what the temperature. It's probably a good thing I wasn't born in Scandinavia.
I had a few adventures in March, starting with a quick trip to DC with BEV GRANT to present Bev's multimedia women's labor history project WE WERE THERE in concert with the sparkling DC Labor Chorus. It's always a joy to present this show with Bev and meet so many outstanding women labor organizers, educators, and union sisters. If you're a labor organizer or educator and would like to learn more about WE WERE THERE, contact me or Bev and we'll have a conversation.
March also brought me a few opportunities to get in front of the camera again. I got to play a not-so-loveable mother of adult children in a short film and work background on a feature film and a TV series. If you're watching Feud: Capote vs. The Swans and have a very, very sharp eye, you might spot me in two episodes – one at swanky masquerade ball, and another at a funeral. Both had me in absolutely EPIC hairdos…
Grateful for these and looking forward to more adventures in April – shows in Asbury Park NJ, Gloversville NY, Bellows Falls VT, and Bethlehem PA – alongside a few wonderful musical friends. See below for show details…
If your town is not on my list of adventures, well, why not? I play house concerts, too, and it's not so hard to host one if you enjoy the music and have a handful of friends you'd like to share it with. Drop me a note and I'll be happy to chat about it.
As always, I'm grateful to you for sticking with me and reading this far. Check the SHOWS page on my website for details on upcoming performances, and stay in touch on the socials (links below).
Until we meet again, I wish you abundant light, love, music, and
Peace,
Carolann
