October Flurry

Last night I was finally in my garden. After a long and lovely Summer of travel with performances and work shops it feels like I have three months worth of garden time to make up for. When I returned from Fargo I had a surprise of two golden mounds of wood chips and by the light of the full moon I began to spread them around. When October comes I begin to shape the garden for a cross country ski run. My son and I walk the perimeter removing any stones or sticks that might catch on our skis.

The final public perfomances for 2009 are this week.
Tuesday Oct. 6th at Mindekirke, the Norwegian Lutheran Church at 11 am. I will be adding a stav and galdor to Krauka's short set. Then we will head to Ingebretsens for a meet and greet.

Highlight of the year: Cedar Cultural Center on Thursday Oct. 8th. When Drew Miller and David Stenshoel join me in this work it raises to a new and exciting level. Add Krauka and it's like you went into a time warp where the future and the deep past are touching hands.

If you live out of town and can't make it to this show, KFAI is recording it for broadcast later and I will keep you posted!

Best October ever,
Kari

Sacred Harvest Festival

For a chance to hear my new songs and take a workshop on Volva Stav, join me at the
Sacred Harvest Festival near Albert Lea.

Friday and Saturday August 14-15.

It's a wonderful festival to attend. Many fine workshops and a chance to meet and learn from Prudence Priest who comes from the West Coast. She is a great contributor to the ancestral folkways of our Indo-European traditions and I can't wait to meet her, share my work and learn from her.

Other than this, Drew and I continue to record and are gearing up for a Minneapolis debut of our new work September 17th at the Capri Theater in North Minneapolis. Mark your calendars!

Random Rune Pull for today - Othel. It just keeps popping up! As I create in the living tradition of my ancestral folkways, I am in constant awareness of the layers of ancestors who make up my being. I tip my horn to them and bless them with all the thanks and love in my heart.

Kari and Drew in the Studio!

Hey folks,
What an exciting July it has been. Drew Miller and I have been working with the music and are creating new arrangements for our concert at the Starwood Festival in a week's time. No more guitar for me...alas. My beautiful Seagull has given me 20 plus years of dedicated service but now it wants to retire into the hands of my fine young sons. No more on the road risk and danger.

So what are my new instruments? Of course I use my stav, my voice, and then I wave my antler and feather fan over a little blue box and elves sing with me! Drew plays his computer, a key board, and the electric dulcimer....So Retro-Future, so Bronze Age revival!

As soon as there are mp3s I will share them with you all. Otherwise, come to Sherman, New York on Friday the 24th, midnight at the Pufferdome for the debut of Kari Tauring and Huldre's new set!

Blessings All!
Kari
