UPCOMING EVENTS
Thurs. April 29 at 5:30 Pacific Time, on Quarantine Happy Hour (Facebook group - you do not need to have a FB account to access but if you want to post in the comments section, you'll need to join the group) I’m doing a FB Live show that will be a departure from my usual concerts (no fiddle, no old-time music) – I’ll sing through all the songs, in order, from Paul Siebel’s “Woodsmoke & Oranges” LP which came out in 1970. Over 50 years have passed and I find Siebel’s songs have stuck with me and seem now to have an even deeper resonance than they did when I first learned them. Some of the arrangements hark back to the mid-1970s when Hoyle Osborne turned me on to Paul Siebel’s music. This is the soundtrack of my early 20s and of Eric’s and my courtship.
Because it’s not my usual thing, and there’s no fiddle involved, nor any old-time music, I don’t feel that I can post in my usual FB places (i.e. pages and groups devoted to fiddle or old time music!) so if you can share this post, and./or suggest other places to post, that would be greatly appreciated! “Woodsmoke & Oranges” was Paul Siebel’s astonishing 1970 debut album on Elektra, produced by Peter Siegel. Few songwriters ever come up with this many great songs; in addition to “Louise”, made famous by the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Leo Kottke, Linda Ronstadt and many others, the album is filled with other memorable portraits and lovesongs (and yodeling). Paul Siebel made one other studio LP but he never liked touring and retired from music. Personally, I’d be ecstatic if I could ever make an album as good as “Woodsmoke & Oranges”, not only are the songs great but the back up (David Bromberg, Richard Greene, and the incredible steel player Weldon Myrick) is also stellar. It’s the songs however which hold the most power. We play live shows on Facebook every so often. If you haven't already "liked" our FB page, you should do so, that way you'll be notified when we have a FB live show coming up.

Todalo Shakers NORTHWEST TOUR rescheduled for AUGUST 2021
Because of concerns about coronavirus, the Todalo Shakers cancelled our March 2020 Northwest tour and rescheduled for October, which also had to be cancelled. We are now rescheduling for August 2021 - a tour of outdoor backyard house concerts, and look forward to making this trip to the Northwest with WB Reid, Frannie Leopold, and Matt Weiner.

Summer Music Camps
We were hoping the pandemic would be over in time for us to be at our favorite music camps in 2021, but that has not happened. There are tentative plans for Centrum's Acoustic Blues Week to take place online, and if that happens, Suzy will be on staff.
