Hanging In There, Together.

Hey Everybody! 

To my friends and family in the midst of the snow and ice storm, I hope you are prepared and are staying warm and dry.

As for the sh*tstorm that is ICE, thank goodness for brave bystanders who can hold a phone camera steady. Those of us who still have the capability and desire to engage in critical thinking are speaking out and hanging in there together. If you haven't seen it already, take a look at the BBC analysis. 

On the music front, seems those who attended IBC lucked out by a week for travel. 

Guess I wasn't the only one who caught the "crud." I got bored and cut my hair, and I'm doing what I can to heal my hoarseness by the 14th, which is our next afternoon gig at the Saloon. The Superbowl hype should be done by then, leaving only the folks who actually want to show up and listen. 

Sending love and light. 

Ox,

Radio Memphis 1.14.26

Feels good to be back home. That bug (or a variant) has me in its grip again, so I'm resting up for the 14th 4-8 at The Saloon. 

 Here is a link to an interview I did at Radio Memphis. It's a facebook link, so you probably have to have a facebook account to see it. Since we were not able to bring the whole band out, it's just me chatting with Ric, and then he played a tune from the live album. It seems to be the whole shift, so check out the other band segments! 

Hope you have a great day, despite all the chaos that is happening. Call your elected reps, and do unto others, etc. 

You know.

Made It To Memphis!

I made it to Memphis, and am getting acclimated. 

Tentatively scheduled for a radio interview. Need some coffee to lose this headache. 

What to wear? 

Ox,

Memphis Bound...

Feeling better. Grateful. 

So much on my mind as I get ready for Memphis.  I will be writing about my travels daily on my various blogs. 

As always, sending love to all. 

Posting this link in honor of our country and beloved friends who have passed.

What More Can I Say or Do?

Hey Everybody! 

Love and stuff! Thanks for all the birthday wishes this past weekend! If you missed it, just send me money for my Memphis trip! Half kidding, there. Efforts to secure a "straight job" have not been fruitful, so that leaves more time and energy for music, but not much $ to invest. I will keep plugging though. 

Saturday at The Saloon

Next week in Memphis! 

Ox, 

Mari 

P.s. Call your elected reps. Pay attention. 

Be love 

Saturday, 1/10 in San Francisco. Memphis on the 15th!

Hey Everybody! 

Please pardon any typos - I'm typing this on my phone and am coughing a lot.  We have a gig on Saturday 1/10 and this thing has had me for a week already, so, hoping it gets sick of me and leaves soon. 

Then, it's off to Memphis for the WIB Showcase. 

In the meantime, behind to yourself and others. 

Ox, 

Mari 

Buhbye, 2025!

Hey Everybody! 

Dropping into your inbox (or onto your browser or whatever...)  to wish you a Happy New Year! 

Buh bye 2025. 

Getting ready to mix in 2026! 

Singing the 2nd Saturday afternoon at the Saloon, 4 - 8 pm, which is an impromptu fundraiser for my Memphis trip. If you can't make it and want to support, links are in the Linktree.

Women in Blues Showcase is at Alfred's on Beale on the 15th. I'm excited, yet a bit nervous, so mustering up the courage! 

Ox, 

Mari 

Love and Looking Forward!

Hey Everybody! 

As always, hope this email finds you well. 

I'm about to clean off my favorite lasagna pan and get cooking for the holiday, and am thrilled to be getting ready for my trip to Memphis...

May you create so much joy in your own heart, that it shines out to the whole world...we need it!  

Grateful. 

Ox,
