 In-person
concerts. festivals and services are opening up again, some still taking place
with appropriate precautions. We will
have an online concert in May of 2022, then take a break from these until
September. It is great to be able to
work with other performers with whom distance would make an in-person double
bill impractical. We’re thinking that
people will want to be out and about in the fine weather, rather than sitting
in front of a screen, after they did so much of that over the last two Summers.
Not to mention that we ourselves will be
performing at a number of these venues and festivals ourselves this Summer, and
those will be keeping us busy! But not
to worry, when the air turns cool and crisp, and the leaves begin to turn, we
will be back with more online shared concerts.

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,
