I am happy to announce my next TWEENS/TEENS YOGA SERIES starts tomorrow through 8 Limbs YogaCenters- Phinney Ridge.
This 6-week series will run on Wednesdays, January 11-thru February 15, 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.
Wanna celebrate the end of this year on Wednesday night? I’m playing a cool show…

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: https://smoochforkids.com/

Thanks to you all who perform and support live music in all the ways you do!
I fell in love with the Beatles as a kid and have loved and listened to them my entire life. And every member of this band shares this love and we are actually giddy – and emotional – in our rehearsals.
And so it is with reverence, heart, and anticipaton (and more fucking practice hours than you could ever imagine) that we perform these shows as presented by Strawberry Theatre Workshop.
Info is below. We are aiming to sell the shows out (lots of repeat attendees), so please don’t wait to get tickets if you are interested!
This November, the Mainstage at 12th Ave Arts will be transformed into a mock recording studio where patrons can watch the creation of the greatest songs from Beatles catalog of 1966-1970—the music that the original artists never performed in front of a live audience. Paul Hiraga (Downpilot) returns with his all star ensemble to recreate songs from Abbey Road, the White Album, Revolver, Sgt Pepper and the studio singles that defined the Beatles’ legacy.
Join Strawshop on Thursday, Nov-10 for a special private performance with the band, aimed at raising money for the theatre’s spring festival, Strawberry Jam 2023. Tickets for this benefit performance provide reserved seating and a close intimate evening with the musicians and the music.
Return on Friday/Saturday, Nov 11-12, with 150 of your closest friends and immerse yourself in the music the way the Beatles never had a chance to present it themselves: live and in concert.
Everything you need to know is at: strawshop.org/beatleconcert Seats are limited and they will sell out, so act quickly.
