<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
What a summer! I hope you and your family had a great one too. Now it's back to school and a more regular schedule for Red Yarn. This week I resume all my regular shows, listed below. Other than trips in early November and around the holidays, this schedule should stay consistent through the fall. Lots of weekend shows this month: World Forestry Center, St. Johns SwapnPlay, Slabtown Fest and more.</div>

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Happy summer! I hope your family is enjoying the sunshine and all the fun times that come with it. My summer is going great--I mostly finished my upcoming album, <i>The Deep Woods</i> (which I hope to release in September), and just returned from a much-needed vacation. Now I hit the ground running with library shows all over the state. I'm performing a new show called <a href="https://multcolib.org/events/red-yarn%E2%80%99s-garden-tales" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Red Yarn's Garden Tales</a>, which combines some of my best stories, songs and puppets with new material (including a precious new critter named Gracie Groundhog). If you are in Portland, you can catch the debut at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1655843996" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">3pm this Tuesday, July 9th</span></span> at Northwest Library or in the suburbs throughout the summer. I'm also performing locally most weekends, including this <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1655843997" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday, July 13 at 4:30pm</span></span> during the Mississippi Street Fair.</div>

I'm in the process of recording an album of animal folk songs that I've collected and adapted over the years. The album, called <i>The Deep Woods</i>, is nearing completion, but now I need your help! Join me <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_774035330" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> morning to record group vocals, stomps, claps, and crowd noises. The Village Ballroom (<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">700 NE Dekum St.)</span> has generously donated their lovely space for us to use, and the wonderful folks at <a href="http://www.woodlawnswapnplay.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Woodlawn Swap'n'Play</a> are co-hosting. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This is a FREE event, with bagels, fruit and coffee donated by <a href="http://www.tastebudfarm.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Tastebud</a>, <a href="http://woodlawncoffee.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Woodlawn Coffee & Pastry</a>, and <a href="http://cherrysprout.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Cherry Sprout</a>.

All ages are welcome, but please note that this will not be a typical Red Yarn show. It will require some patience and quiet focus as we work through each song. If you and your children enjoy singing, stomping and clapping at my shows, then I would love to have your voices on my record!<br />

Wow! Summer is nearly upon us. Hard to believe that it's been a full year since I took the plunge into <a href="http://www.redyarnproductions.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Red Yarn Productions</a> as my full-time job. Thanks to all of your support, it's been a success and an amazing experience so far. I'm excited for the summer--many changes and big projects are afoot. I hope your family has some fun plans too!</div>

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Due to a busy summer schedule of out-of-town shows, camps, and travel, I'm going on hiatus from my weekly shows after next week. I will miss seeing so many of your families each week, but you can catch me in Portland most weekends. I will resume my regular shows in September. During June, July and August I'll be at <b>Mississippi Pizza each 3rd Saturday from 4-5pm</b>, and at <b>Treehouse Boutique each 4th Saturday morning from 10-10:45am</b>. Plus libraries, street fairs, and other events (see flyer and June schedule below).</div>

I'm also making good progress on my album, <i>The Deep Woods. </i>On Wednesday, June 19, you're invited to a <b>Community Recording Session </b>at the lovely <a href="http://www.villageballroom.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Village Ballroom</a> from 9:30-11am. Bring your family to help me record group vocals, stomps, claps and crowd sounds. There will be free snacks and coffee, and participants will receive an advance mp3 single from the album. All ages are welcome, but know that this will not be a typical show. It will require some patience and quiet focus. I would love to have your and your children's voices on my record. Thanks to <a href="http://woodlawnswapnplay.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Woodlawn Swap'n'Play</a> for helping organize this free event!</div>

A reminder: due to a busy schedule of out-of-town shows and summer camps, my regular shows will go on hiatus after the first week of June and resume in September. Don't worry, I'll be performing local shows throughout the summer. I'm also leading summer day camps for school age kids at Friendly House and KCLC; check out my <a href="http://redyarnprojects.blogspot.com/2013/04/april-news.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">April newsletter</a> for more info.</div>

Whew! Thanks for all your ongoing support. I hope to see you and your family soon!</div>

Surrounded by so many signs of nature's renewal, I hope you and your family are finding your own rejuvenation. Here at Red Yarn Productions I'm looking forward to a relatively calm April and May before a busy summer of out-of-town shows and camps. Just a heads up: my regular shows will go on hiatus in June and resume in the fall. I will miss seeing so many of your sweet families each week, but welcome the opportunity to reach families all over Oregon. I'll have some local shows, just not so often.</span><br />

Some of you have asked when I'm making an album. I'm finally digging into recording this month! I'll post updates on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/redyarn" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">my Facebook page</a>, including information about a community recording session for backing vocals, stomps and claps. I hope to release the album sometime this summer.</div>

Howdy from Red Yarn Productions! Another busy month has flown by, and March promises to be just as packed. Please find information below about special shows coming up (including several weekend dates), my regular show schedule in March, and spring afterschool classes. I'm especially excited for the March 9 debut of <i><a href="https://web.multcolib.org/events/sister-tricksters/6147" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Sister Tricksters</a></i>, a new library program inspired (and endorsed) by children's author Robert San Souci. A quick note for those of you looking for school age summer camps: I'm leading a puppet camp at <a href="http://kidscommunitypdx.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">KCLC</a> from August 5-9 and a music camp at <a href="http://www.friendlyhouseinc.org/programs/children/summer-camp/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Friendly House</a> from August 19-23. Visit their websites for more info.</div>

Don't worry, I'm still recording a folksong a day. I'm going to post them in chunks from now on to save myself a little bit of time and energy. Plus, since a lot of folks use this website to check on Red Yarn's shows, I didn't want to bury my schedule where folks can't find it.

Here's an update about my school offerings and my show/event schedule, with more out-of-town library shows and a few changes in my regular gigs. Please note my special show at Lilikoi Coffee tomorrow, Monday, from 10-10:45am, and the next Family Jam at Friendly House on Friday, February 8. </span><br />

<span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">I recently added a performance program to the <a href="http://www.ya-or.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Young Audiences</a> roster.

If your child's school is looking for an engaging musical puppet performance for an assembly or family night, please recommend me! I continue to offer my "<a href="http://guide.ya-or.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=cGuide.profile&performerID=485" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Folk Song Puppet Show</a>" residency through YA, and I joined the <a href="http://therightbraininitiative.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Right Brain Initiative</a>'s roster of teaching artists in the fall.

Each day in January I adapted a folksong from Alan Lomax' 1960 <i>Folk Songs of North America</i>, recorded it on Garage Band, wrote an analysis and posted it on my blog. This project changed my life. It inspired my to start me the Red Yarn blog, which grew into my folk music and puppetry side-project, which grew into my new, fulfilling career. This year I'm doing a similar project, but with Carl Sandburg's 1927 <i>The American Songbag</i>. <br />
<br />
Sandburg was a true American Bard, the kind that Walt Whitman called for in his introduction to the 1855 edition of <i>Leaves of Grass</i>. In the early 20th century Sandburg toured the midwest lecturing on Whitman, reading Whitman's poems, and eventually sharing his own poetry. In 1910 he bought a guitar and began mixing American folksongs into his performances. In 1921 he wrote to a friend, "I am reading poems and singing Casey Jones, Steamboat Bill, and medleys... This whole thing is only in its beginnings, America knowing its songs." Sandburg's song collection soon took shape into <i>The American Songbag</i>, a sprawling anthology of "pioneer, railroad, work-gang, hobo, Irish, Negro, Mexican, gutter, Gossamer songs, chants and ditties."<br />
<br />
Since college I've been obsessed with Whitman's idea of the American Bard. My senior thesis project explored Bob Dylan's fulfillment of the bardic project. My former band Bark Hide and Horn's 2008 album <i>National Road </i>attempted to give voice to the voiceless people and animals of old magazine articles. Red Yarn is my unabashed attempt to create a bard persona accessible to the younger generation. I am deeply committed to "America knowing its songs."<br />
<br />
I am also excited to embark on another grand and public <i>mis</i>translation of the American folk vernacular. While I'm loosely familiar with much of the material I'll explore over the next month, I am deliberately avoiding other recordings of these songs. Unlike Lomax's collection, the <i>Songbag </i>doesn't have guitar chords, only piano arrangements. So I teach myself just the top line--the melody--and develop a chord progression by ear. With this method I hope to synthesize my amateur knowledge of traditional folk music with my own musical sensibilities and whims.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I recorded "The Boll Weevil Song," a song Sandburg learned from Alan Lomax's father John. Today "I Ride an Old Paint." I hope to dig into song analysis as I go, but with my busy schedule I'm making no promises beyond the recordings. Enjoy!<br />

In light of the recent tragedies in the news, let's treasure the precious time we have with the ones we love. I'll be out of town visiting my own family for the next two weeks, so not performing my regular shows. Please take a look at the show schedule below to see when I'll be resuming my regular gigs in January. (I'm leading a camp when I return, so some shows don't resume till the 2nd or 3rd week of January.) Also, I'm leading several new afterschool classes in the new year. Find the details below and if you're interested, register your school-aged child!</span><br />

Happy Holidays from <a href="http://www.redyarnproductions.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Red Yarn Productions</a>! I hope you and your families are feeling happy and grounded as we enter this busy season. With Thanksgiving and winter break coming up, Red Yarn's regular shows will be more sporadic. Please take a look at the <b>SHOW SCHEDULE </b>below so you don't go to see Red and the critters on a day they're not performing. Please join me at the first ever <b>Family Jam </b>event at Friendly House on the evening of Friday, Nov. 30. I'm offering several new <b>AFTERSCHOOL CLASSES</b> starting in January. Look at the info below and consider if one of my classes would be a good fit for a child in your life. </div>

Musician and teaching artist Andy Furgeson will lead the group in simple jams, engaging beginners and more experienced players alike. We'll warm up on familiar songs and end the session by writing an original song as a group. So dust off that guitar or tambourine and get ready to rock, family style! Friendly House will have some instruments on hand for all to use. Light dinner will be provided at this free, inclusive event. Thank you Neighbors Meeting Neighbors for funding!</span><br />

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I'm posting my November newsletter a few days early to make sure you know about <b>Red Yarn Puppet Band's Halloween Spectacular at <a href="http://www.mississippipizza.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Mississippi Pizza</a></b>, 5-6pm on Wednesday. See the flyer below; <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/374458632634772/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">here's the Facebook event</a> to share with your friends. We'll be pulling out all the stops; expect spooky stories, haunted American folksongs, the Big Bad Wolf, a giant skeleton, and more. Please know that this show could be scary for younger kids--I'm recommending it for fearless 4-year-olds and up. Younger ones are welcome with the understanding that some content might be frightening. Hope to see you and your family there!</div>

From November to April, I'll be performing on the first Monday of each month at the <a href="http://www.worldforestry.org/news/79/272/Mommy-and-Me-Mondays-Nov---Apr/d,World%20Forestry%20News%20Detail%20Template.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">World Forestry Center's <b>Mommy and Me Mondays</b></a>.

<b><u>Elementary School Residencies</u></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
If you have a school-age child, please consider me for an arts residency at his/her elementary school. I offer a program called "Folk Song Puppet Show" through Young Audiences. I'll visit your child's class 3-5 times and help them adapt a classic American folksong into a musical puppet show. Each child builds his/her own elaborate sock puppet. For more information, visit <a href="http://www.ya-or.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=cEducator.main&sectionID=6&pageID=102&performerID=485" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">my artist page on the Young Audiences website</a>, or read <a href="http://redyarnprojects.blogspot.com/p/educational-programs.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">a description on my website</a>. </div>
