Here we are nine (count ‘em,
NINE) months into the pandemic, with no immediate end in sight. We have better
hopes for 2021, but changes
will most likely not happen overnight.
Now that outdoor concerts are over, we are endeavoring to do at least one live-streamed
concert a month, some sponsored by organizations, and some self-presented. Most
of the latter will be double bills with
other wonderful artists. We are also
presenting at least one service for Unitarian Universalist churches each
month. Don’t be shy about attending –
folks of all religions and no religion are welcome, with lots of music and
plenty to think about!
February Sky lives in the town of Trout Lake in Michigan's Upper Peninsula,
We are full time touring musicians - or we will be once the pandemic is over. In the meantime, we will be live-streaming
a number of events. 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,
