<p>Just like all of you, in this time where our world is eerily suspended by a virus that all of humanity is fighting, we are trying to figure out the best use of our time and energy to help others and also take care of our immediate circles of loved ones. We will be adding some live stream concerts and videos classes, and we're also working on a few recording projects.</p>

<p>So, my mother didn't know anything about making albums per se, but something she DID teach me helped me get through a recent challenge we encountered while making the latest Zoe Speaks CD. See, we found out a few weeks ago that there had been a hard drive crash involving our project, and that data had been lost. It turned out that not all of it was gone, but we were set back several months in having to re-do a lot of our harmony parts and instrumental solos. I felt SO frustrated and put-upon, but after a while a memory surfaced. My mother was a brilliant seamstress (just like HER mother), and she made sure that I learned how to sew when I was growing up. She started me on easier patterns, and we worked our way up. At some point we graduated to making a dress, which required that I learn how to sew in sleeves. And since it was the eighties, those poofy sleeves were popular and I had to sew in GATHERED sleeves, which are especially fussy. Well, even the most experienced tailor can get flummoxed when sewing in a sleeve--you have to turn the garment AND sleeve inside out, and basically sew inside a small tunnel of fabric. There are several points where things can go wrong, and when I was first learning, they often did. I would diligently sew all evening, get the sleeve all pressed and pinned, sew it in, and......turn the dress right side out for the moment of truth, only to find out that I had screwed it up, with a seam on the outside, or the wrong side of the fabric facing outward. Out would come the seam ripper, along with some tears of frustration, and I'd have to take out every stitch I'd sewn and go through the whole painstaking process again. At some point in my feelings of self-pity over our musical setback, I felt like mom was at my elbow, reminding me that sometimes you just have to get out the seam ripper and do it over again. I don't know why this glitch with our CD happened, but I am grateful for the real-world lessons my mom gave me that help me to be strong and resilient in the face of challenges, and, just like with that tacky dress I made back in 1986, I am DETERMINED to finish the project and make it better than it was before. Thanks, mom.</p>Zoe Speakstag:www.zoespeaksmusic.com,2005:Post/50678432018-02-07T19:56:15-05:002021-04-12T20:06:11-04:00Redwood Cooperative School<p>We enjoyed the opportunity to play for and with Redwood Cooperative School in Lexington!

When we decided last fall to begin performing again as Zoe Speaks, we knew we were excited, and we knew we had a special musical synergy that we were happy to be exploring again. It felt healing. It felt good. It felt RIGHT. But we never dreamed we'd have so much support from all of you--thanks for all the emails, comments, kind words, and for showing up at venues across the state these past six months. </p>
<p>But we REALLY never dreamed we'd now be getting the chance to work with a nationally-known booking agency, Kosson Talent. We met the founders of the agency, Larry Kosson and Robin Spielberg years ago at a music conference, and they reached out to us recently when they heard we were performing together again. After a series of talks in which we discussed goals, dreams, plans, and what it might look like for us to work together, we are happy to announce that we signed with them last week to represent our performances nationally. <br>What we are learning about Robin and Larry (and their assistant, Meghan!) is that not only do they run a top-notch agency with the know-how to help us to achieve some of our long-held musical goals, but that they are also wonderful people with whom we share many values and visions. We are proud to be associated with them, and humbled by their belief in our music. And we are SO EXCITED to be getting "out there" again! It really is a dream-come-true! </p>
<p>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your support and friendship over the years.
