But the last few days have brought some more summer-y weather and the Leo in me hopes it continues! I've been super busy with lots of projects so far. I've been driving my youngest, a Wellfleet lifeguard, to and from work, and also helping my oldest get situated in his new apartment in Western New York. When I'm not busy being a mom, I'm spending lots of time in my garden, taking a graduate class, walking my dogs, entertaining visiting cousins, catching some amazing live music with my buddy Meg, walking and photographing our beautiful beaches, and of course, I've got lots of summer gigs planned for you, both full band and solo shows! Please check the schedule often - I update it as more shows are added! I hope to see you out and about! </p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/139740/5e1370e57baeaef9c1179de0e619713860e3c120/original/5ef7431b-6ce8-4a4a-b246-42ce9d30cecd-1-201-a.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p><p style="text-align:center;">peace, love, and music <br>(and beaches and sunsets!)</p>Kathleen Healytag:kathleenhealy.com,2005:Post/71824102023-04-01T12:42:11-04:002023-04-02T07:32:24-04:00April Gigs and New Songs - No Foolin'!<p>As I sit here on this rainy day, updating my website and calendar, I'm dreaming of sunny summer days and outdoor gigs!

After a crazy long pandemic induced dry spell, I've been giving myself a writing prompt each month and I've got some new songs to show for it! January's prompt was <i>ground</i>, and I wrote my NPR tiny desk contest entry song: “Solid Ground." You can check that out on the <a class="no-pjax" href="https://tinydeskcontest.npr.org/2023/browse-2023/?song=solid%20ground" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">Tiny Desk Contest website</a> or on <a class="no-pjax" href="https://youtu.be/bpPCpaIfY4w" target="_blank" data-link-type="url">Youtube</a>. February's prompt was <i>space</i>, and I wrote a nifty little song about the rat-race of life called “A Little Space.” I'll post it here as soon as I get a good recording. The prompt for March was <i>cost</i>, and I will admit that I've only got a chorus so far, and this one might get a little political. But hey, I'm a folk singer, so that's all good. </p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/139740/025f1bbbe2aa3e6c18a15573106acd4d09e37469/original/imagine.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_m justify_center border_" /><p>I'm currently taking suggestions for April's prompt!

My resolve this year is to show up, bear witness, and be present. And to that end, I've written a new song which you'll be able to hear if you come out to a Heyday show! I've been suffering from some serious writer's block for a bit now so writing a new song feels great, and then playing it for the guys and having them jump right in on leads and harmonies and suggesting we play it at our next gig feels really spectacular! The song is about showing up for those amazing gifts of sunrise and sunset that nature offers up each day, and the working title at the moment is Afterglow, as demonstrated in one of my recent #beachaday photos below . . . </p>

I've got two Cape Cod Songbirds shows, some full band shows with Heyday, and a few solo shows that I'm really excited about! So yeah, I'm getting busier just as the days are getting shorter. I'm a sunshine girl, so not a huge fan of shorter days, but I'm hoping to hunker down and get the creative juices flowing and write a few more songs. Oh! And the 2023 Beach A Day calendars have arrived, just in time for holiday gift giving, so if you are interested in picking up a calendar or two, I will have them with me at shows or you can send me an email at info@kathleenhealy.com to let me know how many you'd like to reserve! </p>

Spring is a great time for renewal and hope, and these new songs feel like an affirmation of what I've been telling myself throughout my creative drought: "I'm still here, just a little quiet at the moment, but I'm still here, and I've been here all the while."

<p>Until then, I'm still out there walking the beach every day, and posting my #abeachaday photo, so if not at a gig, maybe I'll see you at the beach. When I walk, I take time to meditate and think about things in my life and in the world. The people of Ukraine have been on my mind a lot lately. My son Calvin helped me edit the hint of yellow in the sunset to represent the yellow band in the Ukrainian flag.</p>

Well this has GOT to be my year! I've got some solo gigs and some Heyday gigs coming up - check out the upcoming shows on the calendar.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/27c229f059996ab3b6218a026930f91c50c910fc/original/christmas-beach-pic.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_none" alt="" /></p>
<p>I started the year on a positive note - positive for Covid that is, so I've been hunkered down and quarantining. Luckily I have had very mild symptoms and I seem to be on the other side of it now. Of course the quarantining caused a bit of a hiccup, and I had to cancel all of my shows for this first week of the year. <a contents="Bruce Maclean" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://macleanstudio.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bruce Maclean</a> stepped in on January 1 to replace Heyday at the <a contents="Barley Neck" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://barleyneck.com/" target="_blank">Barley Neck</a>, <a contents="Dave Hickey" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://m.facebook.com/Dave-Hickey-Music-346417122531651/" target="_blank">Dave Hickey</a> stepped in on January 6 to replace Heyday at <a contents="O'Shea's" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://osheasoldeinne.com/home" target="_blank">O'Shea's</a>, and <a contents="Jan Luby" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.janluby.com/" target="_blank">Jan Luby</a> stepped up on January 7 to replace me at a Songwriters in the Round show at <a contents="One Broadway Collaborative" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://onebroadway.org/?doing_wp_cron=1641585525.4235200881958007812500" target="_blank">One Broadway Collaborative</a> in Lawrence, MA.</p>
<p>But don't worry! The shows pick up again mid-month with Heyday making our debut at <a contents="The Sons of Erin" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://sonsoferincc.org/" target="_blank">The Sons of Erin</a> on January 15, and then returning to <a contents="O'Shea's" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://osheasoldeinne.com/home" target="_blank">O'Shea's</a> for our regular Third Thursday gig on the 20th.</p>

<p>I have continued my commitment to my #abeachaday photo project, and this fall I created a 2022 calendar from some of my more popular photos. Part of the proceeds from the sale of each calendar were donated to the <a contents="Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://mashpeewampanoagtribe-nsn.gov/" target="_blank">Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe</a>, the original inhabitants of this land I am blessed to walk and photograph.

So be sure to listen to your favorite Kathleen Healy originals and add them to your playlists! Be safe out there folks, both in terms of weather and health, and I hope to see you out and about soon!</p>Kathleen Healytag:kathleenhealy.com,2005:Post/66330962021-05-18T00:28:12-04:002021-10-03T02:37:28-04:00One Step at a Time <p>Hello out there! Thanks for taking the time to visit the website! I am sending huge love out to all of my fans, and those who are dealing with the tremendous losses that have accompanied these unprecedented times. As we carefully move toward some new sense of normal, I am slowly beginning to fill my calendar with dates, mostly outside at this point. I would love to see you at a show, when you're ready. But if you're not ready, I am planning to continue to provide virtual offerings once per week, so please check the <a contents="https://www.facebook.com/khealymusic/app/123966167614127" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/khealymusic/app/123966167614127" target="_blank">facebook page</a> for my <a contents="live streams" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://fb.watch/5y_Kdx1d2L/">live streams</a>. </p>
<p>If you are interested in booking some music for a gathering at your home, you have several options! You can book me solo - think quiet, singer/songwriter-y stuff - lots of finger picking. Or you could opt for duo with either Bill or Randy, which is bound to kick it up a notch. And last but not least you could go for the trio with my band Heyday. We'll have you up and dancing and singing along. We've got some openings in the calendar we'd love to fill. We love backyard barbecues and garden parties. And we'd be happy to come and play for you. Please email info@kathleenhealy.com in order to book us for your gathering. </p>
<p>For now, I will keep walking the beach, keep breathing, and keep looking for the silver linings. And if you need a little beach in your life, check out my #beachaday photos on my <a contents="@khealymusic Instagram page" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.instagram.com/khealymusic/">@khealymusic Instagram page</a>. </p>
<p>Here's the one from yesterday that seems to be getting a lot of attention, captured at Sea Street Beach in East Dennis: </p>

<p>And remember, in a world where you can be anything, be kind. </p>Kathleen Healytag:kathleenhealy.com,2005:Post/64648682020-10-28T08:23:23-04:002021-04-21T13:03:44-04:00Foggy Autumn<p>I have a few upcoming virtual gigs at Sandwich Porchfest and Linden Tree Coffee House - check the schedule for the details. <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/6fd622d70a0883366e088d19768f619d90f8c4d3/original/screen-shot-2020-10-13-at-12-02-16-pm.png/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_center border_" />I hope you are all hanging in there! I have been walking the beach almost daily to help ground me during these times. Here is one of my recent photos taken on a damp day at the end of one of my favorite walking spots, West Dennis Beach. As we approach November 3, and the end of 2020, let's hope this fog lifts soon. <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/43df69f9a708ad5bda2b48d3421f327e85193f2a/original/img-2662.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Please keep in touch. I am available for small, socially distanced house concerts, virtual or otherwise. Stay well - peace xo Kathleen </p>Kathleen Healytag:kathleenhealy.com,2005:Post/62980792020-04-28T21:51:50-04:002020-10-28T09:54:53-04:00Silver Linings<p>So all of the gigs have been cancelled, but new live streaming gigs are being scheduled. I no longer have a moment of privacy in my house, but I do have time to practice my guitar every single day. I am missing the energy of performing in front of a live audience, but I am learning all sorts of new stuff about interfaces and blue yeti microphones and iRigs and OBS and Zoom. Some days I feel like my head is about to explode, but so far it hasn't so that's another one for the plus column. My teens have been lying to my face about completing their distance learning assignments and are now grounded on quarantine. Which means no more x-box (seriously what else is there to take away?). But for the most part, my family is getting along with each other way better than I ever could have imagined. And we have our health. And I have managed to get to a beach every single day for 313 days and counting. I've seen sunrises and sunsets and everything in between. <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/9d9460bf5f4318749a76cd05fc2f86ba00ead0d4/original/lhek0252.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>I haven't slept in weeks because after everybody goes to bed I simply can't settle my mind. It might have something to do with Billy's snoring, but mostly I lie awake and mull over the days horrific news and numbers and I ache for all of my friends and fellow humans who are living this pandemic hell on the front lines every single day, while I stay home and take care of my family and read about their heroism. We've lost so much. We lost John Prine. </p>
<p>But the lack of sleep has led to some midnight oil writing sessions and I might have come up with a new song or two. So I guess what I'm saying is that so far, for every down there has been an up, for every inconvenience, a new lesson learned, and within each cloud a silver lining. Please know that I am missing you. And wishing you well. And stockpiling some new material for the next time we get to see each other in person.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like this one, for example. I was invited to participate in this fun little Old Cape Cod mash-up sponsored by the Cheap Seats and the Melody Tent and featuring real live local Cape Cod musicians. Here's my full version as well. I've always wanted to learn this song and now I have. </p>

<p>I figured out how to live stream a zoom meeting on facebook, so we have been holding songwriter circles and open mics again, which feels really good. Next songwriter circle is Monday May 4th at 7:00, followed by open mic at 8:00. Send an email to info@kathleenhealy.com for the zoom info if you'd like to participate, or tune into the facebook live stream on my facebook page to watch and comment. The prompt for the circle is "transformation." </p>

<p>Bill and I will be playing a virtual set on May 6 at 7:00 p.m. Huge shout out to Sean and Caroline Brennan for promoting local musicians through their Solidarity Sessions live-streamed concerts during this time of social distancing. Together, Billy and I make up two thirds of our band Heyday. We really miss playing gigs with Heyday, and hope to be back at it real soon. But in the meantime, there really isn't anybody on earth I'd rather be on lock-down with. Another silver lining.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/53d32e29dd9317e6d8733fc3c4e3db805c6d7efe/original/bill-kate.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Okay - that's it for me for now. I'm leaving the summer gig schedule in place until I hear otherwise. Check back here from time to time for the latest info on cancellations and upcoming live stream gigs. Stay well. Wash your hands. And don't touch your face! </p>

Embracing the Journey. We were slated to release the album to radio stations across the country on November 1, but then life got in the way. They say good things come to those who wait. So I'm just going follow my own advice and embrace the journey. I am beyond excited to finally have the opportunity to share my music with audiences far and wide!</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/872f9ef28a6f8efd47225bdce63fc68d94845658/original/embracing-the-journey-cd-cover.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Here's what reviewers have to say about the album so far:</p>
<p><em>"The 12-track, 42-minute LP is of a personal nature. Her melodies are often memorable with touches of classic melodies from other sources (“Gift From My Mother”) the most obvious. Nonetheless, the tune is a beauty, with excellent sound. A playful tone to Ms. Healy’s voice — ala Nanci Griffith. (True, as well of “Slip Away”). Most effecting. <br>Kathleen is a valued folk singer. She steps into big shoes. Has sincerity, poignancy & warmth to her repertoire. She isn’t yet political – yet. She seems to prefer the importance of family, friends, unions & reminding all of us — life is worth living."</em></p>

<p><a contents="NERFA" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://nerfa.org/" target="_blank">NERFA</a> is always wonderful and overwhelming. It proved to be both again this year. Thanks to all of the volunteers, workshop panelists, mentors, folk radio djs, promoters, showcase hosts, and venue booking agents who attended, performed, listened,and networked. It was an incredible weekend. Noel Paul Stookey's keynote address was inspired, and inspiring. </p>
<p>But that's just the beginning!

I still have that t-shirt, and I still try to live by that sentiment.</p>

You have each inspired me in some way. Thank you for coming out to see me in all sorts of weather and at many different venues when I'm performing live, for supporting my music by purchasing CDs, and for asking encouragingly "when is the new CD going to be ready?" Well it's ready, and I can't wait for you to hear it! </p>

It doesn't get much terser than that. Thank you, Mr. Jack Harrison for teaching me to love words and appreciate their power at an early age. You will be missed, dear sir. </p>
<p>Reflecting back on an amazing autumn . . . I can't remember the last time we saw such beautiful foliage here on the cape. The maples were stunning, the copper beeches so vibrant, even the oaks chose orange and deep red before donning their typical brown. It was breathtaking. Alas, now the trees are bare and the leaves have been washed away by the recent wind and rain. Which means winter can't be too far behind, complete with a December chock full of Christmas Strolls, Carols, and Cavalcades!</p>
<p>First we'll be wrapping up November with a fun Thanksgiving Eve show at <a contents="O'Shea's Olde Inne" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://osheasoldeinne.com/" target="_blank">O'Shea's Olde Inne</a> in West Dennis. So please check the upcoming show dates and come find me at one of my solo appearances, as a duo with Randy Patterson, or the trio at a Heyday gig.</p>
<p>Oh wait! I almost forgot! We finished all of the recording for the new CD at Brick Hill Studio and now we wait patiently while the songs are mixed, mastered, and the CDs produced. Stay tuned for news about upcoming release shows! </p>
<p>Until then, please enjoy this little tune about the return of Old Man Winter on Cape Cod, recorded back in 2016 at Live From Center Stage with The Trailers featuring Frank Consiglio on mandolin and Bill Kwaak on bass. </p>

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>Kathleen Healytag:kathleenhealy.com,2005:Post/54501312018-09-30T23:05:07-04:002022-05-09T03:46:33-04:00Autumn Again<p>I usually love autumn. Cooler weather and crisper air. A time for change. But truthfully I'm not a big fan of change, and this autumn has brought some huge ones. My dad gave up the good fight on September 4th and I miss him in a huge heavy way - such a loss as I have never before encountered. He was my biggest fan and playing gigs knowing that he won't be out in the audience has been really really hard for me. But the healing power of music sometimes works its magic and so far I have been able play those gigs with only momentary pauses and a few tears.</p>
<p>My CD was scheduled to be released on Friday, September 28, but it didn't quite get finished with the scheduling glitches associated with losing a parent. So I played a "Concert Featuring New Works" at West Parish Church in West Barnstable to an intimate and understanding listening audience. I'll be heading up to Provincetown on Monday, October 8 to sing a few songs from said new CD on Bob Weiser's Old Songs Home Radio Show. So we are back at it, and stay tuned - you'll be the first to know when it's finished. The new CD will be entitled Embracing the Journey. Here's a little photo of me embracing my dad. <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/60b381c1ec2d0a901c7f5712bb850b44e8db549a/original/me-and-dad.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>For now, please come find me at a gig. I promise to sing a song or two that my dad taught me when I was little. Don't Let Your Sweet Love Die, or That Olde Mountain Dew, Amelia Aerhart's Last Flight, or possibly even Truck Drivin' Man, as well as some of the new songs, and some of your favorite Heyday folk covers too. It'll be fun! </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">peace, love, music - kathleen </p>Kathleen Healytag:kathleenhealy.com,2005:Post/53682942018-08-01T15:50:32-04:002018-08-13T13:47:06-04:00Exciting Summer News! <p>Happy August! I've got some exciting stuff coming up this week and I'd love to share my news with you all!</p>
<p>First, I'm looking forward to appearing at a Songwriters in the Round evening on Friday, August 3 at <a contents="The Hearing Room" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.hearingroom.net/" target="_blank">The Hearing Room</a> in Lowell along with <a contents="Dawn Kenney" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.dawnkenney.com/" target="_blank">Dawn Kenney</a> and <a contents="Ralph&nbsp;DeFlorio" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://ralphdeflorio.com/" target="_blank">Ralph DeFlorio</a>. Thanks to <a contents="Aaron Tornberg and Mushroom Musicians" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.aarontornberg.com/mushroom_musicians/" target="_blank">Aaron Tornberg and Mushroom Musicians</a> for setting that up! </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/8ee759b23f6dc9e0844b782b6d8bdba3570ad976/original/hearing-room-kenney-deflorio-healy.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>On Saturday, August 4th I am excited about performing along side <a contents="Catie Flynn" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/catie.flynn.5" target="_blank">Catie Flynn</a>, Chev Hardy, <a contents="Kim Moberg" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.kimmobergmusic.com/" target="_blank">Kim Moberg</a>, and Dylan Routhier at the Cape Variety Ensemble Concert. This event takes place at the West Dennis Community Church from 7:00 - 9:00 and is a benefit for the DY Music Program. It is the brain child of Dylan Routhier, who graduated from DY in June and is heading off to Berkeley in the fall. It is his way of giving back to DY before moving on. He has assembled an amazing band of talented musicians who will accompany each songwriter on our original compositions. Not only did Dylan compose some original songs for this event, he arranged each of our songs for concert band, and even composed a first movement to one of my songs. This is a concert not to be missed and I hope you can be there! </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/a9ca753fb81e285b1dbc03da7f830c122ba5374c/original/variety-ensemble-poster-resized.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>And finally, to wrap up this stellar weekend, on Sunday, August 5th, at some point between the hours of 5:00 and 8:00 pm EST, my song Speaking Out will be featured on <a contents="John Platt's Sunday Supper" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.wfuv.org/content/sunday-supper" target="_blank">John Platt's Sunday Supper</a> radio show, guest hosted by <a contents="Christine Lavin" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.christinelavin.com/" target="_blank">Christine Lavin</a> on <a contents="WFUV" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.wfuv.org/content/wfuv-air" target="_blank">WFUV</a> radio out of New York. Christine reached out to me at the end of June to let me know that someone had forwarded her a scratch recording of my song Speaking Out. (I nearly fainted when I read the email and could not stop saying "oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" as I looked at my computer screen!) She then told me of her interest in airing the song on the radio show and inquired as to whether it would be possible to record a radio ready mix of the song in time for the show's taping at the end of July. Despite crazy busy summer schedules and huge thanks to producer Jon Evans at the <a contents="Studio at Brick Hill" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://jonevansmusic.com/brick-hill-the-studio" target="_blank">Studio at Brick Hill</a>, and my angel choir of harmony singers, (Catie Flynn, Doreen LaFranchise, Kim Moberg, and Tanya Roza) the song is ready and I sent it to her today. Please tune in if you have a chance this coming Sunday evening! </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/b607c6fa6d9c120a309f96eafe269c0837924abf/original/speaking-out.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_left border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/344604d8819a81bd4580d4ddb439663729716ef8/original/studio-session-july-14.jpg/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_right border_" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But it doesn't stop there! The CD is coming along nicely and should be all finished by late summer, early fall. Stay tuned for that. The same day we went in and finished recording Speaking Out, Randy Patterson and Billy Kwaak came in to add some mandolin, drums, and male voices to the mix. Not to mention that the rest of August and the beginning of September are chock full of gigs and I hope to see you out and about at a show one of these days! Lots of outdoor gigs so you can enjoy the beautiful weather and be serenaded by yours truly while you're at it!</p>

<p>I've been having a blast road-tripping with my good friend and fellow singer/songwriter Kim Moberg.

<p>peace, love, music, and . . . glorious spring! </p>Kathleen Healytag:kathleenhealy.com,2005:Post/51191682018-03-09T01:17:21-05:002018-07-29T07:23:15-04:00Spring! So Close! And Yet Snow Far Away . . .<p>Okay, I admit it. I'm ready for winter to end. I am looking forward springing forward and returning to Daylight Savings Time this weekend, which will mean more daylight when I get home from the day job every afternoon - time to hit the bike path, which is where I do some of my best thinking. </p>
<p>I'm fresh off an amazing International Women's Week - it began on Monday with a hugely successful fundraiser for ACLU. The amazingly talented women of Cape Cod came together to perform at O'Shea's Olde Inne and even on the heels of hundreds of thousands of Cape Codders recovering from one hell of a Nor'easter, we managed to raise over $500 for ACLU. The audience was attentive and generous, the atmosphere welcoming, the staff friendly, and the entertainment live, local, and fabulous. Heartfelt thanks to all who made the event a success. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/f67a6e57b48db9affc480805a4b37a0f71fec223/medium/international-womens-day-2018-poster.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Thursday found me at The Cultural Center of Cape Cod celebrating the actual International Women's Day with the fine women from the Women's International Leage for Peace and Freedom. I was honored to perform two new songs - one inspired by Lauren Wolk's award winning novel <u>Wolf Hollow.</u> Later in the evening, Lauren was honored by WILPF, and many women of all ages came together to perform breathtaking dance numbers, spoken word, instrumental pieces, and beautiful songs. It is an incredible event and one which I look forward to each year. One which restores my faith in humanity. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/f8beeb5dde3bf8b1d6f831366dd04776aa406e8c/medium/dance-at-wilpf.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Now I'll shift it into high gear to get ready for the St. Paddy's Day gigs coming up. I am so thrilled to be joined by Randy Patterson on mandolin and lead guitar and Bill Kwaak on percussion! Come find us at O'Shea's Olde Inne at 5:00 p.m. on Parade Day, March 10, or at noon on March 17th.</p>

<p>When I'm not out performing for y'all, in my spare time, you can find me at Brick Hill Studio working on my second full length album. It's really starting to take shape, and I couldn't be more excited.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/6bea81222042c5274b9b2c365d02b4525efc0b7d/medium/brick-hill.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">January. A new year. New beginnings. A time for resolutions and skipping dessert. And since despite all of my efforts I can't seem to thin my waistline, I have thinned my performance calendar to make more time for my family . . .</p>

"It's done!" <br>And of course to Judy for her phenomenal performance and some words of advice for this aspiring folk singer. </p>

After spending the better part of the year writing topical songs to help sort through all of my personal outrage surrounding current events, I've turned to some old fashioned denial to help get me through the season. So I'm taking a page out of Buddy the <a contents="Elf" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319343/" target="_blank">Elf</a>'s Book: "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."</p>
<p>My way of coping at the moment is to ignore the state of the world at large and immerse myself in holiday music. So far, it seems to be working. My days are spent prepping my elementary school students for our annual Holiday Concert, and I spent the first weekend of December singing my heart out, first at the<a contents=" Island Blue Crab" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://islandbluecrab.com/" target="_blank"> Island Blue Crab</a> on Friday, then at <a contents="Cape Abilities Farm " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.capeabilities.org/" target="_blank">Cape Abilities Farm </a>for their Holiday Open House on Saturday, and finally Sunday at the <a contents="Centerville Christmas Stroll" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.centervillecivic.org/" target="_blank">Centerville Christmas Stroll</a> sharing a porch with my good friend <a contents="Kim Moberg" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.kimmobergmusic.com/" target="_blank">Kim Moberg</a>.

<p style="text-align: center;">Pictured below, Hank and some of the <a contents="Cape Abilities" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.capeabilities.org/" target="_blank">Cape Abilities</a> Farm crew join me for a holiday sing-a-long! </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">The rest of the month is shaping up to be busy as well. </p>

The boys are raking. Or at least that's what they're supposed to be doing. And in between being horrified by the news coming from Las Vegas, I'm trying to wrap my brain around the task of booking showcases and firming up plans for my second trip to NERFA. Luckily, there seem to be lots of opportunities for Songs of Peace and Freedom and Social Justice to be heard, and since those are the songs I tend to be writing these days, I'm in luck. Check out my new song - Loopholes.

<p>As a member of one of the most famous musical families in America, Kate Taylor and her four brothers, Alex, Livingston, Hugh and James, have all enjoyed success as performing and recording artists. Kate formed her first band at age 15 and had her first record deal with Atlantic Records four years later, her debut album Sister Kate. Her second album Kate Taylor, was released in 1978 and produced the charting hit, "It's in His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)", done as a duet with brother James. The following year Taylor released It's in There, produced at the famed Muscle Shoals studios. Today Kate lives on Martha’s Vineyard and remains an active recording and touring musician, with recent album releases including Beautiful Road and Fair Time! We are thrilled that Kate has agreed to join us for this special event. Kate will be accompanied by accomplished songwriter/producer/musician Steve Mayone, also an active recording and touring musician, who has worked with many well-known artists in addition to Kate, and has had original music featured in film and TV. </p>
<p>The opening act is Cape Cod favorite Jordan Renzi whose fusion of folk and contemporary soul was influenced by artists like Eva Cassidy, Bob Dylan, Laura Marling and Norah Jones. She is known for a soulful voice and a sensitive songwriting style and has been the recent recipient of multiple awards and prizes for her latest album, Featherbed Lane. </p>
<p>CapeSpace is a flexible workspace facility which doubles in the evenings as CapeSpace Coffeehouse, a true “listening room” for music lovers who want to hear live music in an informal concert-style environment free from the distractions of bar noise and activity.

<p>I'd love to see you in the audience! I will update the calendar as more dates are added.</p>
<p>Here's hoping your summer is filled with peace, love, & live music. </p>Kathleen Healytag:kathleenhealy.com,2005:Post/47532212017-06-21T23:08:22-04:002017-06-21T23:13:18-04:00June-u-ary . . . <p>Ah, June-u-ary! The season for sweaters, jeans and boots? I have faith that summer will be here soon. In the meantime, it's great weather to update my website!</p>
<p>Kim Moberg and I are excited to join together as RavenDaisy Productions to launch a new coffee house series in conjunction with Robbin Orbison at CapeSpace in Hyannis. This is an opportunity for folks to come hear some quality music in a listening atmosphere, which is hard to do at many of the venues where these talented folks normally play. Tickets are $15 advance/$20 at the door and ticket sales go toward paying the artists, so please consider coming out to support live music! </p>
<p>Our first event on, Thursday, June 1, at 7:30, featured a double bill with Singer/Songwriters Catherine King and Catie Flynn. </p>
<p>Mark your calendars for next months coffee house featuring Rose Martin and Out Late with Diana & Melody on Friday, July 14, at 7:30. </p>

<p>August coffee house will feature the founders of RavenDaisy Productions singing some classic protest songs of the 60's and 70's along with a few we've penned ourselves - come find us on Friday, August 4th.</p>
<p>I took a short break from performing this past weekend because I partnered up with my pal Betsy Siggins for a road trip to Tanglewood for the Four Voices Tour. I finally got to see Joan Baez live in concert! The Indigo Girls and Mary Chapin Carpenter were the icing on the cake. It was one for the books to be sure! </p>

<p>And in celebration of the summer solstice, I invite you to reflect on some words of Buddhist wisdom, "three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth." So go out and dance in the full moon. Soak up the sun. And have faith that the truth will eventually be revealed. </p>Kathleen Healytag:kathleenhealy.com,2005:Post/47293602017-05-31T23:27:36-04:002017-06-01T00:00:59-04:00June, So Soon? <p>If rainy days and Mondays always get you down, then you must be glad May is over - buckets of rain and 5 Mondays to boot! But May wasn't all bad. There were some, well, lets say, shenanigans. . .</p>

<p><br>First there was that road trip with my dear friend and fellow songwriter Kim Moberg to appear on The Song, Voices of Dissent at <a contents="FCAT" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://fcat.tv/index.php?lang=en" target="_blank">FCAT</a> in South Deerfield</p>

<p><br>But I must say the highlight of this crazy rainy month was the amazing experience of being included as a main stage performer at the 2017 Cape Cod Women's Music Festival. From the incredibly talented musicians I was blessed to share the stage with, to the positive energy and sheer volume of love flying around the Playhouse that night, I don't think I'll ever come down.

I returned to Cape Cod to find that winter is still hanging on, which has only served to intensify my spring fever. Strolling through my back yard this afternoon, I paused just long enough to notice that our cherry tree holds small tight pink buds, promising the possibility of blossoms at the first sign of sunshine and a warm day. Words are poking their heads through the top soil, newly raked by my boys. They are swimming around in my allergy hazy brain, promising the possibility of new songs. Exciting events coming in May, and the schedule is filling nicely for the summer.

What more can I say? A lot, but I'll resist from getting into details for the moment. Suffice it to say, participating in the Boston Women's March was an empowering and life-changing event for me, and I am blessed to have shared the experience with some of my favorite amazing women. <br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/b656013ef47618a61ede955262e2b37b2bf1daa2/original/on-the-common.jpg?1486963915" class="size_l justify_center border_" />I am loving this winter. A little bit of snow, cozy fires in the wood stove, and lots of time to write. I am churning out the tunes - songs about standing together and songs about reaching out and songs about miracles. And I am hoping to be back in the studio soon. <br> <br>I had a blast singing some original tunes as well as leading some familiar sing along folk songs dating back to the Civil Rights movement at Wellfleet Public Library for the <a contents="Voices of Poetry" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/122818487865651/" target="_blank">Voices of Poetry</a> "For a King" event back in January.

As I go traipsing through the trails at Bells Neck or along the bike path, the smell of detritus dominates. Still, for all the much-needed rain we've had, there have only been a handful of days where I've been forced to log my miles indoor on the treadmill. I love to walk in the morning when it's all quiet and misty. It's when I do my best thinking. and I manage to capture some great lyrics too. But sometimes I've hit the trails after work and the light through the thinning trees is enough to take my breath away. I love the changing seasons, feel blessed to live here in the Northeast where we have the benefit of all four, however blurred the boundaries are at times. Seventy five and humid one day, frost warning the next. I am reminded of the end of a poem entitled <u>No!</u> by Thomas Hood . . .
<p style="text-align: center;"> . . . . No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, <br>No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds— <br>November!</p>
<p>Yet amidst of all the No's that November brings, I have decided instead to say, "Yes." Yes to hope, yes to the future, yes to positive change. Yes to exercising my right to vote. Yes to studying and thereby passing a certain stickler of an exam. Yes to eating right, staying active, and getting enough sleep. So, it is with these goals in mind I keep this brief. No long diatribes from me in this month. Time to wrap it up and head to bed. <br><br>Upcoming gigs . . .<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/f0b6923dc1c510c069dd19d3e2df37bf502dece7/medium/bill-b-w.jpg?1478140389" class="size_m justify_right border_none" alt="" /><br><br><br>You can find me hosting the First Friday All Ages Open Mic at the Arts Center on Friday, November 4 from 7:00 - 10:00 - Bill Kwaak will be the feature performer.<br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/7c7578e06a33fc4d86568d676740d9ae09095c3d/medium/summer-circle-16.jpg?1472611406" class="size_m justify_left border_" /><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Songwriter Circle Followed by Open Mic will be held twice this month at O'Shea's Olde Inne on Monday, November 14 & Monday, November 28 from 7:00 - 11:00.<br><br><br><a contents="The Trailers" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://trailers.frankconsiglio.com/" target="_blank">The Trailers</a> return to <a contents="Harvest Gallery Wine Bar" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://harvestgallerywinebar.com/" target="_blank">Harvest Gallery Wine Bar</a> for our Fourth Friday Appearance on Friday, November 25 from 8:30 - 11:00.

So even as I mourn another summer's passing, I'm joyful at the prospect of some new songs to tend and craft and shape. Like summer shells and autumn leaves, no two are ever alike. Every once in a while, songs pour out on the page practically finished, but more often they sneak up as snippets of melodies and glimpses of lyrics that need to be captured and molded and formed. At times I feel like I am in control of the direction, at others, they take on a life of their own.<br><br>The newest song was inspired by a mix of childhood memories and very recent ones. When I was a kid, our family would pile into the car every October and head up to Groton, MA to attend the annual grape picking weekend at The Sama's house. It was one of those crazy weekends where the kids were left to their own devices (and by devices, I mean their own wits, not iphones and kindle fires and ipods!) and somehow nothing tragic ever happened. We played hide and seek in the vineyard, after all of the picking was done, and we tasted the sweet grapes left behind. There was more food than you could imagine and the grown-ups stayed up way too late and drank way too much and the ride home the next day was quiet. For the past three years, I have piled my unwilling children into the car to head up to Truro for the annual <a contents="Vinegrass Festival" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.vinegrass.org/" target="_blank">Vinegrass Festival</a>, and in spite of all of their protesting (due largely to the fact that the service isn't great in Truro so their devices don't work, which is a plus in my book!) they spend the day breathing fresh air and end up getting lost among all of those grape vines and having the time of their lives. I don't think I've shared in detail with my sons about my own vineyard adventures, but somehow I feel like I'm passing this memory down to them. Like we're sharing the same experience miles and decades apart.

What happened to Summer? This summer arrived suddenly. Bluntly. In those first few weeks I wasn't present. The last two months have been spent searching for answers and chasing moments of peace, glimmers of joy. It was a whirlwind. And now, as I slowly begin to find my center, I notice sunsets arriving too soon, light shifting slightly in the sky, the first leaves falling softly on the bike path - all signs that summer is alas coming quickly to a close. Lucky for me I do love autumn, with its cooler, dryer days, dappled sunlight filtered through thinning treetops, crisp fresh air, and plenty of work to busy my mind.<br><br>Below is a video of my performance at World Wide Music Day, courtesy of <a contents="Live From Center Stage" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://livefromcenterstage.com/" target="_blank">Live From Center Stage</a>. <br><br><iframe class="justify_center" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="o7Iq5wanKTI" data-video-thumb-url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/o7Iq5wanKTI/0.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o7Iq5wanKTI?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="200" width="280" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe><br>A few highlights from my other gigs this summer - singing at Harvard Square, co-hosting World Music Day, leading songwriter circles, acoustic sets at the Mashpee Commons Farmer's Market, Original Music Showcases, the outside zen garden at Karoo, Harvest Gallery Wine Bar, listening to Slaid at Truro Vineyards, solo in the boat at Oliver's, and of course, O'Shea's Olde Inne . . . heartfelt thanks to my musical cohorts and to each and every one of you who tirelessly support live music. <br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/bb8b737a23e0d97d5bc726fb743e17961277dc89/small/black-and-white-harvard-square.jpg?1472611344" class="size_s justify_left border_none" alt="" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/29183e80780439663e471c290a9d91b4e4187125/small/world-music-day.jpg?1472612792" class="size_s justify_left border_" /><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/7c7578e06a33fc4d86568d676740d9ae09095c3d/small/summer-circle-16.jpg?1472611406" class="size_s justify_left border_" /><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/a5e47222d331b7ddc72c110d4ac4a9418be58b95/small/mashpee-commons-farmers-market-photo.jpg?1472611336" class="size_s justify_left border_none" alt="" /><br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/6c3649ae81212be249481d5acbea41c639fb40a7/small/original-music-showcase-sundancers.jpg?1472611375" class="size_s justify_left border_" /><br><br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/622f9225ef260a7612671bb20675199c80d28c73/small/frank-kath-at-karoo.jpg?1472612806" class="size_s justify_left border_" /><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/e609673b550b74bf0282fa722b5b177c5844408e/small/trailers-summer-at-harvest.jpg?1472613067" class="size_s justify_left border_" /> <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/077ac28572c538e0497183c5b4d2fd4a01e4967f/small/listening-to-slaid.jpg?1472615303" class="size_s justify_left border_" /> <br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/0b413df0c56910bda2b3c24cae8c82d641eb4c0b/small/boat.jpg?1472615995" class="size_s justify_left border_" /> <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/139740/686f5699efa34ac2ca371a3cf1860531975a177f/medium/summer-osheas-trailers.jpg?1472611432" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" /><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Here is a list of upcoming gigs for September & October.

As we approach Thanksgiving, I find myself overcome with gratitude thinking about how full my life is thanks to the rich music community here on Cape Cod. This past month has led to many changes in my life. I am embracing my return to teaching as my day job, and feeling energized by this decision. I have been able to be much more present with my family, and the change has afforded me many extra hours each week to devote to my music.<br><br>I am so excited about my new band project - <a contents="The Trailers" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/TheTrailersBand?ref=hl" target="_blank">The Trailers</a>, comprised of Frank Consiglio on guitar, mandolin & vocals, myself on guitar, uke & vocals, and Bill Kwaak on bass & vocals.

I will be hosting an Open Mic Coffee House on the first Friday of each month at the HJT Arts Center located at 265 Sisson Road in Harwich.

The featured artist will appear from 8:30 - 9:00 and will perform for the audience as well as answer questions about their process and career in an effort to inspire the youth in the audience to recognize that the arts can be a viable profession. The event is open to the public, but we are hoping to attract junior high and high school students from all across the Cape. We are hoping to attract more than just musicians as well. For instance, students could present a short play, spoken word, rap, dance, music, or other talent. Performers will be given a 5 - 10 minute slot, based on how many people show up to sign up for the open mic slots.
