The lilacs are in full
bloom again here in the Northland. When
we travel to places where Spring is more advanced, we so enjoy coming back
where we can relive the beauty of early Spring flowers and the tender green of
new leaves.
Once again, we’re taking a break from our double bill Zoom concerts until
September. We will be busy with in
person concerts and festivals this Summer.
A major highlight for us this month will be the Gebhard Woods Dulcimer &
Traditional Music Festival in Morris, IL, see the poster above and the
description below for more information.
Gebhard Woods has managed to book a stellar lineup of performers this
year, so come on out and enjoy.
February Sky lives in the town of Trout Lake in Michigan's Upper Peninsula,
We are full time touring musicians. Apparently the pandemic is largely over, but we are still live-streaming concerts with
geographically distant artists, as well as playing live concerts. Please check out our appearances for details.
"I've had the delight of
watching two long time friends and musicians grow a duo. I've listened to Phil
Cooper for years as part of a duo/trio/ensemble, with singing partner Margaret
Nelson as the constant through all those years. Phil's darlin’ Susan wrote
wonderful songs, sang wacky and ribald songs she'd found elsewhere and became
an ever more deft musician through those years. Now they're a duo - February
Sky - and the combination of Phil's incredible repertoire of very traditional
song and tune and Susan's singer-songwriter orientation and addition of her
skill with other instruments have been blended into something very different
than what either had done before. Same songs, or tunes from previous
repertoires... but whole different flavor. Each time I see them, what they do
gets tighter, deeper, more distinctive. 'Course it helps that both are
thoughtful,
generous people who like each other lots. --Joanne Laessig, Folknet,
