For those of you in NYC, save these August dates. It's not everyday I get above ground for a concert and these 2 are truly special:

A really groovy gig Thursday August 2nd @ Celebrate Brooklyn performing my song 'Comin' Back To Me' with WNYC and WQXR host Helga Davis' group The Love Show before the viewing of Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet. Prospect Park Bandshell 9th Street & Prospect Park West, Brooklyn tickets free/$3 (suggested) 6:30 gate opens, show at 7:30
Here's a clip I recently put together to show a bit of my underground world.
June inspirations and news
June was an exciting month underground. I've had fun spontaneous encounters with some truly amazing above ground musicians you may have heard of.
Vocalist, percussionist Vicki Randle in town performing with Mavis Staples. Local Broadway wunderkind Jim Abbott, musical director to the stars. And the musically exotic Helga Davis, host of WNYC and WQXR "Overnight Music"
I'm thrilled to have gotten some "What's Your Inspiration?" comments from them.
What inspires Helga?"Beauty and music."
What Inspires Vicki?"...what just happened.....just the sound, its the complex beautiful sound of music that creates something
inside you, it makes an emotion in me..."
What inspires Jim? "artists ...like you,.. people that do it for the love of it."
Also I was featured in an article recently by writer Laura Hankin of Galo Magazine. "Female Subway Musicians A Rarity"
Happy summer, and I hope to see you at one of my concerts,
Peace,
Cathy
