There is still much uncertainty about how long it will
be until in-person concerts and services will be practical again, although some
events are taking place with appropriate precautions. In the meantime, we will
continue with online
presentations. It is great to be able to
work with other performers with whom distance would make an in-person double
bill impractical, and we suspect we will do some of that even when in-person
concerts are happening again. As of this
writing, several Unitarian churches with whom we are connected have found it
necessary to restrict interactions in their buildings, and for those we will
most likely present online.

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,
