 Happy New Year! We
are starting a little late this month due
to a wonderful but exhausting month playing with the Bittersweet Christmas Band. We
have also been having an unusually harsh Winter
even for the Upper Peninsula, so it’s just as well. In the meantime, we’re
still enjoying the
beauty of Winter in the Northland.
We are happy to report that our annual concert sponsored by the Geneva Park
District will be back at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva. For our
monthly in-the-round Zoom house
concert, we are thrilled to be working once again with the wonderful Gina
Forsyth.
Our website, www.februarysky.com, unexpectantly came back to life, we are not sure how or why that happened. We will
continue using it for now, although Susan is working on a new one. In the meantime, see our February Sky Facebook
page for current gigs (https://www.facebook.com/p/February-Sky-100044947007672). Live-streamed events can be attended from
anywhere. Here is our direct PayPalMe Link for your generous donations for
live-streamed events that are not sponsored:

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,
