It's hard to believe that April is here. Winter made a comeback this year, complete with an ice storm over the last weekend
in March. We are hoping this might mean a mild summer here in the Northland. Nothing prettier than a North Country Summer
with burgeoning wildflowers and temperatures in the low 70s.
Speaking of Nature, it's Earth Day this month, and Easter is the same weekend this year. In honor of that we're continuing
our online in the round concerts this month with the incomparable Julie Henigan. (https://www.facebook.com/JulieHeniganMusic/).
February Sky lives in the town of Trout Lake in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We are full time touring musicians. Although the
pandemic is over, 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,
