Autumn is approaching, and we
are looking forward to our favorite season here in the Northland. Spectacular
leaves, moderate temperatures, no
bugs, less pollen! This September we
have a new minister (as well as a new space) at Marquette Unitarian
Universalist Congregation, and we will be working on getting things started. We
plan to resume our Zoom “house concert” series in October. Not sure
who will be sharing the virtual
stage with us just yet, but it will be the usual October array of ghost
stories, remembrances of times gone by and tributes to loved ones on the other
side
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,
