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

Rune pull for Spring Transitions

Rad
Raidho
The journey is long and arduous but the horse is swift and sure. I am about to journey, so, yes, this is the correct rune. Off to Scandinavia I go to sing my Volva songs in the land of my ancestors. When I will return to Minnesota, no one really knows. It could be weeks, it could be months.

This rune is to me the journeyman stage of my process. Indeed I have learned my songs, practiced and considered and now it is time to hit the road and prove myself.

I will miss Minnesota in the Spring.
I will sing to you all from the fjords and valleys, a low kulokkr, a great wyrdlokkr, and learn new songs from the land spirits to bring home.
