Vermont friends, family and fans – I’ve been collaborating with my dear friend Susan Haefner on a musical based on her grandma Alma Kern’s life, called ALMA. We are up for a Vermont Arts Council People’s Choice Award, with the potential to win up to $5000 for project development. If you are so inspired, I hope you will consider voting for us (we are Project #48), and also helping spread the word to other Vermonters. You must be a Vermont resident to vote and 18 year of age or older.  You may only vote once.  NOTE: Deadline to vote is September 17th. VOTE HERE. Thank you so much!

Lovely review of Terre Roche’s album “Kin Ya See That Sun,” that I had the honor of co-producing, in Acoustic Guitar Magazine by Blair Jackson: “One of the coolest releases of 2022, Kin Ya See That Sun brings together 15 previously unreleased live and studio tracks by two of the three singing Roche sisters, Terre and Maggie, who were a performing folk duo dating back to their teen years…The sisters’ instantly identifiable vocal harmonies are of course in evidence throughout the album, as is the blend of tunes that range from classic folk tropes to odd, sometimes funny musings on life that can sound like bits of overheard conversation (or someone thinking out loud)…” Read the whole review HERE.

We had a great time performing with Terre Roche at her sold-out show at City Winery on October 18th. Check out this video of our performance of the song “Kin Ya See That Sun.”

Kin Ya See That Sun, the new album which contains mostly live recordings of Terre and Maggie Roche performing many songs that first appeared on their Seductive Reasoning duo album, as well as some songs that have never been released before, has been officially released as of October 21, 2022.

This release is also a book with lyrics, photographs, drawings and recollections from various people who remember Terre and Maggie from way back when. You can order the book HERE.

The audio album is available on Apple Music, Amazon and other music platforms.

I am a co-producer on the album and my husband Thomas Millioto did all the audio restoration and mastered the album. We are both so honored to have worked with Terre Roche on this project and are so excited to share it with the world!

THE WICKHAM WAY a play by Rachel Rubin-Ladutke with four original songs by yours truly, had its first live run in August at Hackensack Performing Arts Center, produced by Teaneck New Theatre.  Congrats to the cast and crew for a job well done!
