June Newsletter by Gaelynn Lea

Musical Musings, Creative Tips & Recent Updates from the Road

Hello, Friends! In lieu of posting on social media so much, I'm going to experiment with sending out more frequent, easily-digestible newsletters instead. You'll get the main highlights of the month, as well as some thoughts about life... Feel free to hit reply and say hello. Thanks for reading, take care & keep in touch!

Yours Truly,

July 20-23 | Minneapolis, MN (+ YouTube)

I'm co-creating a fantastical new play with storyteller Kevin Kling called "Invisible Fences". We are currently doing a Kickstarter to raise artistic + accessibility funds. Everyone who donates gets a private link to watch the show online in August! We've raised 50% so far, but we have a ways to go...Every bit helps!

July 9 | Marine on St. Croix, MN

I am playing a free, outdoor show on Sunday, July 9th at Brookside Bar and Grill in Marine on St. Croix with opener Seth Davin. My set is from 4:30-6:00pm & I'd love to see you there! We are hoping to have an ASL interpreter at this show, but check my website for updates.

July 26 - 28 | Lake Agassiz Region, MN

This summer I've got a bunch of children's shows lined up through Lake Agassiz Regional Library. The first batch already happened at Moorhead Library Concert, and it was featured on WDAY News. I'll be in NW Minnesota at the end of July... Playing for kids is so much fun!

Writing | Writing | Writing

I have been having a blast writing Invisible Fences with Kevin. I write in the wee hours of the morning in a comfy red chair & he writes in the regular hours of the morning (not sure where). We toss scenes back and forth over Google Docs, editing each other's work. What's YOUR most creative time? Do you have a special spot where you do your creative work?

"Big Magic" by Liz Gilbert | Eliza Hull

I have been enjoying Liz Gilbert's 2015 book on creative living, "Big Magic". Namely the reminder that making art can be a joyful endeavor rather than a tortured affair; you don't have to take it all so seriously. A great read if you're feeling stuck! Also Eliza Hull, a RAMPD artist from Australia, is making waves. Watch her recent music video - it's fabulous!
