Hello folks,
I hope you can make it to one of the fine shows coming
up in Oregon this March. There will be plenty of Hardly Strictly Irish
& blues, concerts and a rare soirée. I love hosting soirées. The
theme of this soirée will be women’s voices heard through traditional
American folk music and it is at Pacific University in Forest Grove. In
addition to my solo shows, I am very excited to play with Mary Flower,
Bronnie Griffin and Steve Cleveland who will be sharing stages with me.
Stay hopeful, spring is coming.

Concert - with Mary Flower
Two of the finest finger picking gals you'll ever hear!
Lauren will play a set
first, then Mary. Perhaps they'll do a couple songs together at the
end!

Hardly Strictly Irish, Tunes, songs and blarney
Plenty of Celtic tunes, songs and blarney. I hear you may get to try my favorite drink, "Muskadoodle". But then, if there are muskadoodles, I'll have to tell you how I learned about them. It was on a very dark and wet night outside of Galway ...
