Let's keep the music on the move, not on the shelf!
The best way to connect with what I'm creating is through my Patreon site,
where you'll receive regular updates, and will hear and see projects before they go public.
The work I do with music is a heart-centered endeavor working from a small home,
with the camaraderie of wonderful musicians who play in concerts and on recordings with me.
I reside part-time in Salt Lake City, UT where I've lived for many years, and in Harpers Ferry, WV,
where I look after my mother when I'm not on the road performing.
The reality of the music industry today is that live music is widely varying in pay,
and streaming is not sustainable at .4 cents/play.
Your direct support goes a long way to keeping the music alive!

Here is a review of a Jean Ritchie single song release that was supported through Patreon.com.
"This is a recent recording and song covered from an American singer-songwriter, Jean Ritchie, but it is as if I'm listening to a recording by Fairport Convention from, say 1970. (Sounding extremely good, granted.) It is the first release by Kate MacLeod, a folk singer-songwriter from the U.S., who is working on a tribute project of songs by Jean Ritchie, who lived from 1922 to 2015. If a word underscores the music on this song it is grace. Wintergrace is so graceful. MacLeod sings and plays guitar and dulcimer. She is accompanied by John Bryant on acoustic bass and Morgan Morrison's harmony vocals. Together they cast a spell with Wintergrace lasting a full five minutes. Despite all involved are American (Appalachian) musicians, this song is pure U.K. folk of the kind that I hear every once in a while but never at this level of musicianship. MacLeod has only just started. Expect more under the moniker The Jean Richie Experience soon."
