Cottonwood Art Wine and Music Festival

Where The Heart Is: Cottonwood

Fifteen years ago, we sold our house, packed up our kids and left the suburbs of San Jose for a place we'd only passed through a couple of times on vacation.  We landed in the cowboy town of Cottonwood, put down roots and never looked back.  

This song has been trying to write itself ever since we fell in love with this place --  the landscape, the people and the spirit.  We're looking forward to singing this new tune in our hometown at the Cottonwood Art Wine and Music Festival on Saturday, January 19th. 

Cottonwood Fun: Art Wine and Music Festival

C'mon down to Cottonwood - enjoy the art, the wine and the music in this charming Old West Town.  Craig and I are looking forward to playing some new tunes at this local event coming up on January 19th.

The details:

The Cottonwood Art Wine and Music Festival at The Community Center on January 19th will showcase three local musical acts.

Still Married is a husband and wife duo from Cottonwood and their original music celebrates the landscape, the characters and the independent spirit of Far Northern California. They'll perform songs from their upcoming CD, "Whiskeytown Roadhouse," including a love song to their hometown: "Cottonwood Calling Me Home."

The Pine Dogz are another Cottonwood husband and wife duo. Diana and Steve Wallis play tunes that are a little bit rock and roll, a little bit country, a little bit R&B and a lot of heart and soul. 

Jackie Lynn Brodersen is a singer-songwriter who performs originals and cover tunes. She picks up her guitar every chance she gets and is inspired by the folk music of the 60s and 70s.
