It's hard to believe that April is here. Winter made a comeback this year, complete with an ice storm over the last weekend in March. We are hoping this might mean a mild summer here in the Northland. Nothing prettier than a North Country Summer with burgeoning wildflowers and temperatures in the low 70s.

Speaking of Nature, it's Earth Day this month, and Easter is the same weekend this year. In honor of that we're continuing our online in the round concerts this month with the incomparable Julie Henigan. (https://www.facebook.com/JulieHeniganMusic/).

February Sky lives in the town of Trout Lake in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We are full time touring musicians. Although the pandemic is over, we are still live-streaming concerts with geographically distant artists, as well as playing live concerts. Please check out our appearances for details.

"I've had the delight of watching two long time friends and musicians grow a duo. I've listened to Phil Cooper for years as part of a duo/trio/ensemble, with singing partner Margaret Nelson as the constant through all those years. Phil's darlin’ Susan wrote wonderful songs, sang wacky and ribald songs she'd found elsewhere and became an ever more deft musician through those years. Now they're a duo - February Sky - and the combination of Phil's incredible repertoire of very traditional song and tune and Susan's singer-songwriter orientation and addition of her skill with other instruments have been blended into something very different than what either had done before. Same songs, or tunes from previous repertoires... but whole different flavor. Each time I see them, what they do gets tighter, deeper, more distinctive.   'Course it helps that both are thoughtful, generous people who like each other lots.   --Joanne Laessig,  Folknet, Cleveland, OH
