New single and video launch!!

New single and video launch!!

Join us for our online video premiere and single launch on Tuesday, June 3!

Back in January, when our community was on fire and the direction of the country took a turn, Celia searched on the guitar for some comforting sounds. After a while, the chords became familiar, and she began singing the mantra-like lyrics of a song nearlly half a century old. We performed our arrangement of this song at a show at the end of January, and people in the audience were spellbound. “You HAVE to record that,” some said to us.

So we did.

We’d love to have you join us for our YouTube Premiere of the video, leave us a note in the chat window, or a comment to let you know what you think of the song and the video.
