The first was in San Francisco. The second was in NYC. The third will be in Sao Paulo this autumn. The fourth?

Finding new ways to be a singer

I've been singing all my life and performing since I was 11, with some professional work with Honeyroot and Oi Va Voi.

I've never loved anything more than camp fire jam sessions, mess-around vocal jamming in groups, and when I get lost in playing around musically on my own.

So how do you take away the safe casing of carefully rehearsed performance and offer instead a more raw kind of music? Can the quality of the campfire be brought into performance, or do I reject performance to a passive audience? How do you be a singer today if you want to keep music for pleasure not commerce, you no longer want to work within the limits of composition but you want your singing to be alive and part of something?

This is what I'm exploring.
