Tom Rush! Master storyteller. Gorgeous voice. He covered James Taylor and Joni Mitchell before anyone knew who they were and has a knack for finding and writing worldclass material. . I'm extremely happy to be opening for Tom Rush in my old stomping grounds on Cape Ann. The Sunday night show at the new Shalin Liu Performance Center sold out a while back, but there are still a few tickets left for the show that was added on Friday night. I'll be doing some stuff from way back when, songs from both CD's, and a debut of a rockin' new number with a story that takes place on the very same Cape Ann. I hope you can come on out and cheer me on!

Lucian is a local promoter of inventive and community-building shows on the North Shore of Boston. I'll be joining a stellar cast of local musicians celebrating his recovery from some recent health problems. (In case you didn't know, I'm a former North Shore local.)

3. September Workshop/NYC/Mondays/9.13, 20, 27

There are a few openings in my September workshop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I'd love to have you join us.

"We'll work with writing prompts and games, take a quick refresher course for the creative mind, and enjoy a mini-spa for our brains. Write from your memory, from your fantasy worlds, or from your observations when you join a small group of like-minded writers at Ina May Wool's Writing Workshop, skillfully facilitated by acclaimed singer-songwriter, creative coach and “guide” Ina May Wool. She has led these writing adventures all around the country in the past few years. Songwriters, poets, memoirists, inexperienced writers, and all who want to stretch their writing muscles are welcome."

Contact INA MAY WOOL at inamayworkshops@verizon.net and reserve your place. These sessions will fill up fast.

Some comments from recent workshops:
“I just took part in Ina May's workshop and want to testify! I got a jolt of writing energy and a bunch of good ideas for stories and songs,” Tom Boyd
"I left with inspiration and more trust in myself to get my poems finished and published," Angela Lockhart
"I found that people were encouraging about each other's writing, and that the class was creation-driven rather than ego-driven. We enjoyed each other's work," Carolyn
"I learned ways to find my voice in the workshop and felt I was reclaiming myself as a storyteller, incorporating the other voice in my head," Chris

If you have any questions or if you'd like to sign up for the workshop, please feel free to write me at: inamayworkshops@verizon.net

Thanks so much for reading.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!
