Well, I had been looking forward to attending the big SMooCH (Seattle Musicians for Children’s Hospital) show this year, not to play (as I did last year with Shaina Shepherd opening for Modest Mouse), but as a fan in the audience to support this incredible event.

Sadly, this year’s headliner, Grouplove, had to cancel due to Covid – so our BeatleConcert band plus special guests will be stepping in! 

My dear friend Sera Cahoone and band will perform during the VIP portion of the evening and the GA show will feature the BeatleConcert All Stars with very special guests (stay tuned for announcements of those guests).  And Rachel Flotard and Visqueen will be reuniting and performing!

Started by Pete and Brandy Nordstrom, both musicians, in 2012 after their infant son received life-saving treatment from Children’s Hospital, SMooCH has generated millions of dollars for uncompensated care.  General Admission tickets are now just $25 so grab yours before they sell out.
WHEN:  Saturday, December 3, 8:30pm
WHERE: The Showbox in the Market
WHAT: SMooCH, featuring Sera Cahoone, Visqueen, BeatleConcert All Stars with Very Special Guests
MORE:  21+, $25 for GA Tickets:

I am happy to announce that today begins my next YOGA to TWEENS/TEENS IN PERSON, through 8 Limbs Yoga Centers- Phinney Ridge.

This 6-week series will run on Wednesdays, November 16 – December 21, from 4-5pm. And this one’s IN PERSON ONLY offering lots of time for creating more community within our sweet group. 

Guiding these Tweens and Teens in the practice of yoga – through breath, movement, and conversation – is one of the most rewarding and meaningful things I do.  I am devoted to my own practice of yoga & meditation and enjoy sharing that passion along with some of the tools that we can access to help students become more aware of their own bodies, thoughts and emotions. 

Developing the practice of yoga as a kind of ‘Superpower’ can allow these 10-14 year-olds an opportunity to find more ease and more joy in a fast-paced and complex world where technology and a lack of connection with others and with  nature can sometimes make us feel stressed and alienated. There is a big focus (as requested by students) on exploring ways in which we can slow down and relax.  We also have a lot of fun and there is space for connecting as a group where everyone is welcome and included and unique.

You can register here: https://8limbsyoga.com/offering/tween-yoga-series/– and if you can’t make it today, you may start next week!

One last reminder to get your tickets to one of the BeatleConcert shows before they sell out.  We are ready to bring this show to life after countless practice hours. It’s always so full of heart and soul and you will leave the concert feeling good about the world, I promise!
BeatleConcert – 12th Ave. Arts, Capitol Hill
