Mega-Summer Fun in June!!

Hello Dear Friends and Fans of Music!!

  The sun is finally warming our bones here in the Northeast after a long, cold winter…so, what better time than to celebrate with soulful and healing music with good friends?! I hope you can join us at a show (June 21-25) this month, supporting local/regional songwriters (and for a good cause on 6.14.) Full details are at www.lynndeeves.com/see

   My pal Jen Deraspe (of “Nurture though Nature”) embarked this Saturday and is paddling the Androscoggin River to raise awareness and funds for clean water…the end of her solo trek will be a welcoming event at the Seadog restuarant in Topsham, Me. on Thursday, 6.14. The following week, my girls Trina and Colleen will return to Maine for 4 shows (see video below for a taste of our vibe)…Bring it!! 

                                               peace and sunblock,

                                                                          Lynn

Winter Gigs and Adventures

Gardiner, Maine (class will be held in the GHS library)

~then, my annual return to the cozy warmth of a house concert in the White mountains at the Highlands Inn in Bethlehem, NH  on Saturday March 3, 2018 (8-9:30 pm) (free to Inn guests) 
FMI: http://www.highlandsinn-nh.com 

~Wednesday March 7, 2018 (7-9pm), I’m honored to be invited to join the “Songwriters-on-Stage” series, sponsored by the Maine Songwriters’ Association. I’ll perform in-the-round, along with Ronda Dale and Jeff Trippe in the theater at Frontier Café at 14 Maine Street in Brunswick, Me.
FMI: http://www.explorefrontier.com/event/songwriters-on-stage-4
Tickets: $10 advance http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3334355

~April 15-20: I’m humbled and grateful to have the opportunity to join a small group of monastics/mindfulness practitioners on a 60 mile section on the “Path of Happiness” retreat, as they hike from Blue Cliff monastery in New York, ending with a peace walk in Washington, DC. The section I’m joining starts with a Day of Mindfulness in New York City (finally get to stay/hang with Trina Hamlin in the big city!) and ends near Allentown, PA. I’m looking forward to practicing mindfully in the wilderness and dropping my habit of trying to get “somewhere” (usually in a hurry). www.pathofhappiness.org

If you’re into singer-songwriters, acoustic instruments, 3 part harmonies, laughter and good vibes…we’ll be offering it up at the U.U. church for their “Concerts for a Cause.” Full details at www.lynndeeves.com/see

Lynns’ 2017 summer into Fall scoop…

Hello Friends,

It’s been a spectacular Maine summer here-backpacking, kayaking, sun, gigs, family time, tubing, even a turbo, 3 day cross country RV trip…and it only gets better from here…ICELAND! for a backpacking and tourist adventure is on the docket for 2 weeks then, I’ll be resting/rejuvenating at Blue Cliff monastery in New York (  where I am humbly being ordained into the “Order of Interbeing”). Mindfulness and meditation has become a Big part of my Path and I am so happy to live it and share it in a variety of forms-music, being one…

Robby Coffin and I will join up to close out the summer at Drummore Bay Concert Hall in Phippsburg and again for two “Graze at Pineland Farms” shows. To end October, a long-awaited reunion show with Anni Clark and Dan Merrill in “under the song tree!” All show details and the latest are available at www.lynndeeves.com/see
