Hello Dear Singers !

I'm so happy to announce I'm returning to Redmond, Oregon just before the dancing/singing retreat @ Breitenbush Hot Springs! (www.WildGrace.us)

I've been hosting these events twice a month in Portland for 6 years and it's one of my favorite ways to spend an evening.

'Siren Salon' is a casual, accepting atmosphere that allows everyone to step a little out of their comfort zone, cultivate new skills, learn new songs, and meet other singers and musicians.

Joining us is Don McFarlane on piano.

Bring your sheet music in your key, or send me a note with your songs and I'll locate a chart for you.

And...YES....Sirens can be male. ;-)

Location given upon registration
