I started studying flute at 12, after being told definitively to give up the violin. (Our dogs loved to sing along a little too much…) Almost immediately I started jamming to my sister Sana’s guitar/vocal tunes, improvising naturally. We played locally and had the good fortune of performing at the Village Gate when I was 15 at the end of a women’s march. Since then I have been in and out of musical explorations, including a stint at Berklee College of Music. From ’87 to ’94 I lived and gigged in Crested Butte, Colorado after which I moved to Santa Fe, my happy home, where I continue to live with my husband Thom, work part time as a WordPress web designer and playing in a duo with Jim Harlan.

Please join Jim Harlan and me:

Eldorado Upper Crust this Friday 8/6, 6-9 pm. We’d love to see you! Our July gig was so fun. Thanks to all who filled the house.

Some (Delta-variant-concerned) friends have made requests for us to play outside in the courtyard and we totally understand! But there’s a small chance of rain and the wind can really mess up my fluting, so we’ll be in our normal spot inside by the bar, with a speaker in the courtyard.

On Saturday, 8/7 from noon to 2pm, we’ll be back at Canyon Road Contemporary Art at 622 Canyon Road. I like getting there early to stroll through the gallery and see the AMAZING work. This weekend, Jim’s wife Cyndi Harlan will be painting outside under the tent with the incredibly cute and lovable pooch, Coco.
