Garnett & Beverly: News
IT'S HERE!! - July 2, 2008
One of our two CDs has been completed and is in-hand. Garnett's solo project, "Right Here, Right Now" was delivered yesterday and is now available at CD Baby or at local performances. These are devotional songs that will move and quiet you. Five of the songs were first recorded for the duo project, but pulled aside for this solo CD. Six more of your favorite tunes were added to create this special disc. Some of your favorite players and singers came together (including our own Beverly Daugherty) to create a beautiful sound, and a special record. Rob Cook arranged quite a few of the tunes - you'll recognize his unmistakeable sound. Garnett will be presenting solo at a few local churches - so look at the Calendar for a venue near you. The fabulous Garnett & Beverly duo will also be performing together as noted in the Calendar.
Enjoy the sun, enjoy a Happy 4th - and enjoy this amazing new CD!!
Off to Italy!! - May 20, 2008
We're off to sing for the Italians! We were invited to perform at the Seattle Sister City Festival in Perugia from May 28-June 3, so - of course we accepted. We leave late on May 22 and return on June 13 - to Garnett's new CD. The recording, the art, the mastered disc are off - and when we return, voila - like magic, we'll have CDs for you. It's called "Right Here, Right Now" - a title idea from Michael Oliver. These are quieter songs that will help you deepen your spiritual practice and allow you to stay there for at least 45 minutes!! Look for more information on this beautiful new offering once we return. For now, enjoy this gorgeous, typical Seattle spring - and get your basil ready for planting.
Ciao!
HERE COMES THE SUN!!! - February 29, 2008
It's true - I've seen it. Here comes the sun, the crocus, the cherry blossoms, the weeds, a flock of birds - it's spring. Oh, I spoke too soon - here comes the wind and the rain again. Ah well, it's all good - and all the juice of spring returns!!
Garnett is focusing on getting her solo CD project completed this spring, with Garnett and Beverly re-focusing on their project once the solo project is complete. With the light comes re-growth and energy and exciting possibilities and amazing discoveries. Enjoy this juicy time. Come play with us whenever the spirit moves you - and time allows.
FALL-ing forward! - October 30, 2007
Seattle is ablaze with color - a vibrancy of reds and oranges that's usually only seen in the east. Make sure to visit the Seattle Arboretum soon - it's breathtaking. And the clear skies and that moon - classic fall nights.
We're still in the studio every Monday, chipping away at our two CDs - yes, two. We've discovered just how difficult it is to work full-time day-jobs, sing week-ends and assume we might fast-pace through a project. We can't. We've revised our release dates for after the new year. BUT, Beverly is re-pressing her much-beloved "Sunday Best" and Garnett is making available the CD she made for her dad's 89th birthday, "Hymns for Him" - traditional hymns. Folks who attend or ever attended traditional church services will be delighted with the selections.
The calendar is updated, the schedule is full - and we hope to see you some time very soon.
To a HAPPY HALLOWEEN and a wonderful THANKSGIVING to us all...in joy, in wonder, in d'light. Blessings!
"...and the living is easy!!" - August 1, 2007
It's summer - it's really summer. We made it safely back from fabulous Australia (pictures in the Photo Gallery) having had a full and amazing journey - BACK TO THE STUDIO - then to Garnett's father's 90th birthday in Virginia with the entire extended family (photos in Gallery); a bit overwhelming, but wonderful. And now - back to the studio. We've been narrowing the field of 'final' choices for this new CD and have decided there are nearly enough tunes left on the cutting room floor to create a 2nd one. We'll see! You'll see!
We're working hard to stay focused on our current project and taking less outside work - so please check out our Calendar and come see us when we're singing 'out.'
Enjoy Amazing Seattle!! Every time we leave and return, we're struck by what a spectacular place on the earth we've been lucky enough to land.
Peace to all us BE-ings!
