How’s your fall going so far? 🍂 I’m still in denial that summer is ending… lol.

I’ve got some exciting news to share: this November(Nov 6th) I’ll be heading back into the studio to record my song Songbird.  This tune is like the music equivalent of homemade mac and cheese; It fills you up and is warm, comforting and peaceful. I am feeling called to share something gentle and joyful as an act of radical joy in the midst of all the noise and chaos that I am seeing in the world right now. 

Some of you may remember, I had the wonderful opportunity of performing Songbird last fall at Norman Rockwell’s studio in Arlington, Vermont. If you missed it, you can watch the performance (and hear the story behind the song) [here]. 

I’ve also applied for a grant through the Vermont Arts Council to help bring Songbird to life. If it comes through, any contributions from supporters will go toward promoting the release. Either way, every dollar I make from music goes right back into creating and sharing more music.

If you’d like to support the recording (totally optional!), you can drop something in the tip jar here:

🎸 Local Corner

A couple of local things that I’m excited about:

🎶 Saturday, Oct 11th: I’m playing a morning set at the Middlebury Farmers Market. Music starts at 10am; come say hi if you're in the area.
 
🎉Special shout out to everyone who attended my shows over the summer!  We all had so much fun and I felt the love and support and my heart is still full💜

🎵 House Concerts: I’m opening my calendar for November and December. If you’re in New England or New York, let’s chat about bringing a show to your living room. (Not local? A cozy Zoom concert is always an option!) You can learn more about house concerts [here].

Thanks for being here. Your support whether it’s showing up, listening, sharing, or tipping it all helps and warms my heart and fuels me to keep going. 

All the best from the nest,
💜 Melissa D
