Hey lovelies!
Just got back from a sojourn in the Jackson Hole area and y'all, I am SOAKED in that mountain magic. Ryan and I got married out there ten years ago, so we went back with our boy this time and just soaked it all in, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, hikes, rivers, a little music, and time with dear pals. It was soooo good for this body and soul. That's the whole recipe, right? Unplug, get in nature, be with your people. Aaahhh.

This Weekend Houston & Austin Empty Bowl

Friday Aug 14th! McGonigel's Mucky Duck, Houston (yay!) Barbara Nesbitt and I are trading songs on the Duck's famous stage.
Can’t make it to Houston? There are tix available to watch online!

This Saturday, let's fill some bowls (Austin people, this is you)
I'm playing Austin Empty Bowl Project's Summer Concert this Saturday, August 15th, 1-4pm, at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection (2200 Justin Lane). It's their 30th year and we're trying to help them break every record they've got. I'm sharing the stage with Kristin Davidson and St. Rowan, and every dollar goes to the Central Texas Food Bank and Meals on Wheels Central Texas. Groceries are expensive enough right now that showing up for these folks really helps. Hope you can join us!

A Fun Interview with Voyage Austin
Voyage Austin interviewed me for their Rising Stars series and somehow I managed to cover Lake Charles to now without rambling too much (debatable). If you've ever wondered how a hippie punk kid from Louisiana ends up here, doing all this, this is the origin story.
Save the Date — because apparently I can't sit still

Benjamin's Bookshop, Salida, CO — Saturday, September 5, 5-7pm I'm heading up from Austin for an intimate after-hours set, songs and stories and a bookshop full of good company. It's family friendly, there's a potluck (bring something if the spirit moves you), and $15-20 suggested donation gets you the music. RSVP and you'll get 10% off shopping that day too.
Texas Women Songwriters Festival, Lockhart, TX — September 18-20 A whole weekend of song-swaps, headliner shows, and way too much talent packed into one walkable downtown. I'll be part of it, more details on my specific sets coming soon.

Chuck Fest, Lake Charles, LA — October 17th Excited to be in my hometown with the band! Join us for a festival full of music, art, and food. Set time TBD, but save the date!
More dates are landing on the calendar as we speak. Thanks for letting the music do its thing.
See you Saturday, Austin.
Wendy
May we always find our way back to the wild places that remind us who we really are.
