We’ll be playing the Calistoga Farmer’s Market again tomorrow morning.
August 10th, 9am to noon
In the shade of the redwood trees beside the river, next to the Calistoga Community Center on Washington Street.
We’ll be accompanied by Dan Brunetti and hopefully our friend Bob Aranguren will sit in on a few songs with his wonderful saxaphone.

After we play there we’ll pack up our gear and head to Sebastopol to play an annual Blackberry picking party that some dear friends of ours put on every year about this time.

Unfortunately the date was moved back a week from last year and another wonderful event we’ve played the past few years, had the date moved forward a week… so we can’t play both events this year. We would encourage you all to go to the downhome annual Cur-Ville Music Festival in Kenwood on Saturday August 10th. There will be great music all afternoon and into the evening. We might even show up late and jam with friends around the campfire, if we still feel like playing after playing all day!

We’re looking forward to camping with friends and family at the Strawberry Music Fest over Labor Day weekend!

On Sunday Sept 15th we’ll be at the Windsor Farmer’s Market and on Saturday September 21st we’ll be back at the Calistoga Farmer’s market again.

We hope you’ve all been enjoying the summer and we’d love to see you and your friends out enjoying our music. Also please keep us in mind if you or anyone you know would like some live music for any occasion!
Thanks,
Lindalou and Michael

Hi Folks,
We were asked at the very last minute to fill in for our dear friend Michael McNevin at a Porch concert tonight in Napa. We’re sorry he can’t make it due to unforeseen circumstances but glad we were able to change our plans and be there for him. I have attached the original flyer for the event. We’re going to do our best to be almost as good as the award winning singer/songwriter Michael McNevin. We’ll play a set of our songs and then there will be a jam afterwards, so bring your musical instruments and voices if you’d like to participate! Hope to see you there!

This is a potluck starting at 7pm tonight July 28th at Rod and Cindy’s house: 2076 Coombsville Rd. Napa.
Call Cindy for more info at 707-226-5859

We’re heading to Napa now to enjoy the festivities of Porch Fest where several of our friends are playing today!
In Harmony,
Lindalou and Michael

P.S. We’ll be playing at the Calistoga Farmer’s Market again on August 10th.

Happy 4th of July!
We’re playing a private party tonight at our 97 year old friend Catherine’s house where we’ll have a great veiw of the Calistoga fireworks. The lightening display looking west from our house last night was as spectacular as (and more scary) than any fireworks display. Hopefully no serious damage was caused by fires. It sure has been hot and windy.

We spent last weekend at the wonderful Kate Wolf Music festival camping and jamming with good friends in the heat. Great music all weekend and relief from the heat by swimming in the river.

Michael’s arm is healing up and he’s been playing his guitar again and trying not to over do it.
We’ve been asked at the last minute to play the Calistoga Farmer’s Market this coming Saturday due to a cancellation. We were already scheduled to play the following Saturday. This coming Saturday also happens to be the Dalai Lama’s birthday…so we’ll sing him a birthday song!

Here are the dates we have coming up:
July 6th -9am to noon
Calistoga Farmer’s Market

July 13th -9am to noon
Calistoga Farmer’s Market

August 10th -9am to noon
Calistoga Farmer’s Market
Then we’ll pack up the PA and drive to Sebastopol where we’ll set up the sound system again at 2pm to play a private Blackberry picking party put on annually by some dear friends.
We’ll have to miss the wonderful Cur-Ville Fest in Kenwood this year where several of our good friends will be playing! Boohoo! We just can’t be in two places at once or play three gigs in one day much as we love to play!

We have several other private parties and my neices wedding to play this summer but we’re always happy to be invited to play and hope the dates work out.
We hope you’re all keeping cool and enjoying the summer. Come by and see us at the farmer’s markets if you get a chance!
Love, Lindalou and Michael

Saturday, June 1st, Calistoga Farmer’s Market 9am to noon~

Michael had a slight accident last week and hurt his arm so he can’t play his guitar for a few weeks… fortunately it wasn’t a much worse injury! We’re happy to say we’ll be accompanied at the farmer’s market by our dear friend, extraordinary guitar player, singer/songwriter Hank Levine. He’ll play a set of his own and play guitar for us while Michael’s arm is in a sling! At least Michael can still sing! We’ll also have our friends Dan Brunetti and David Chapman joining us and hopefully our new friend Bob Aranguren will accompany us with his excellent Saxophone playing. Hope to see you there!

Happy Spring!
We had a great time playing a double 50th birthday party yesterday and look forward to playing out and about for the next 3 weekends. We hope we might get to see you at some of these events.

We were scheduled to be there again on June 8th, which is what I sent out in our music newsletter, but that has been changed to:

June 1st for our 2nd Calistoga Farmer’s Market this year. (We’ll also be there 7/13, 8/3, 9/21 and 11/2/13.)

Saturday, June 23rd, 10am to 1pm
We’ll play as a duo at the Windsor Farmer’s Market.

Welcome and thanks to the new folks who signed our mailing list recently. Thanks to those who supported our 2nd annual benefit house concert back in February, in memory of my Dad for his 87th birthday and for helping us raise over $2000 again for DCWC’s fundraising efforts for a hospital in Nepal. Our new friend Mele, brought my Mom, Shirley, to the concert and took videos of some of our songs which my sister Jeanette has posted on youtube. We especially treasure one of my Mom singing along with us.

Another one is a song we wrote for our son Leif right before he was born 30 years ago.

There is also one of us covering our favorite Steve Earle song. These were all taken with a camera phone and not great quality videos, but we like them enough to share them and hope you might enjoy them too!

We’ve been enjoying playing as much as we can on weekends and occasional weeknights at care facilities, but we still haven’t quit our day jobs yet! Michael continues doing carpentry and I’m doing quite a bit of eldercare, house and yard work as well as office work from home for our friend Trudi Angell’s great company Paddling South.

Just want to spread the word that we’re always happy to play for parties, weddings or any event where our music would be appreciated!

We hope you’re all well and enjoying Spring.
Hope to see you soon!
Love, Lindalou and Michael

We started the year off right playing a great private party with the amazing Hank Levine on New Years Day. What a blast! This was the 2nd year in a row the Castelli’s have had us play their big party.

We’re looking forward to playing with Hank again on Friday evening February 1st at Fresh Restaurant in Santa Rosa.

We’ve been asked at the last minute to play the Calistoga Farmer’s Market tomorrow Saturday Dec. 8th – 9am to noon.
We thought we had played the last market of the season on Oct 27th, but they decided to extend the market this year until January.

The market is smaller now so we’ll be playing unplugged as a duo. The weather should be great and we’re looking forward to it!
Hope to see you there.
