Thanks to everyone who came out to share music with us last night! It made us even more grateful for our recovery from the flu ...finally abating enough to allow us to make an hour or so of music with such truly wonderful people!

Please join us for our April 1 concert at the Boston Conservatory!

Studio 401

Take a sometimes haunting, sometimes amusing, musical journey through America's past with A Celebration of American Music 6, featuring a performance on voice, guitar, mandolin and banjo. Enjoy the Daltons' trademark varied palette of styles as they carve a broad path through the American past, from 18th-century ballads to 20th-century blues. This year’s concert features special segments celebrating the birthdays of Ralph Towner and Dan Emmett, honoring the cause of Women’s Suffrage, the end of the War of 1812 and the Civil War, and musical highlights from 1965!

12th Night

A Most Wonderful Season! Thank you to our Audience and Sponsors!

Thanks to the lovely crowd who time traveled with us through 300 years of American Christmastide music and history last night...our concert was very well attended and went beautifully! We are so happy to make music with you all!

Cuba is opening up, finally

 Cuba ...

I sang in Cuba for two weeks several years ago. It was a very weird trip (it didn't help that I became quite ill the second week). Jim tried to call me from the USA at one point during my tour, and was told that the country "didn't exist."
We may go back together someday and revisit.

Farewell and blessings, my friend

I just heard of the death of a dear friend. No matter how you age (chronologically) there is never a time you are prepared for the death of a friend. When that friend is part of a couple you've known and loved since early adulthood, therefore part of your youth, your beginnings in the world, it hurts in additional ways--ways you simply didn't expect, however much you knew you would grieve. And the cruel disease that took my friend was cancer, cancer directly related to the fact he smoked cigarettes. I think that my heart will break if I go on much further but suffice to say...I want all those filthy things thrown into some kind of eco-friendly disposal unit immediately. Worldwide.  11/19/2014
