My guest on March 5th is Sara Rodenburg. Sara is an American Singer-Songwriter.

Melodic phrasings of Love, Journey, and Joyful Spirit are at the heart of her music.

My guest on March 19th is Deborah Crooks. Born and raised in California, Deborah grew up surrounded by nature, but close enough to San Francisco to be influenced by the city’s history of social, musical and political upheaval. Place-based and rooted in practice, her work has evolved over her years studying natural history at UC Santa Cruz, writing and poetics at The Naropa Institute in Boulder, CO; voice and yoga in Mysore, India, and co-writing and collaborating with her Bay Area peers. Her most recent project is an avian-themed folk opera about Peregrine Falcons and people called ‘Flight Lessons.’

My guest on April 2nd is Aireene Espiritu. Aireene Espiritu plays a mix of stompin’, swayin’ and timeless Americana reminiscent of front porch storytelling, of ghosts and the living, times of laughter and tears. A Color-Coded Symphony is her latest project, a musical experience connecting the audience’s ethnic origins to rhythms of the world.
