August!
First harvest, late summer flowers, a nice cool front coming through
next week! Most of our appearances this
Summer have been in the Northland, and there is still time for more Summer
Northland adventures!
We have many enjoyable gigs ahead of us this month. We are especially looking
forward to hearing ‘Ski (Kathryn, Caitlin and Brian Morski) at the Sugar Island
Fest. Another highlight will be presenting
a service on the first harvest holiday of Lughnasadh or Lammas at the wonderful
Universalist Unitarian Church of Joliet.
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,
