This evening I had the great honor of discussing the Emberlight Festival and singing for Michigan’s Governor, Gretchen Whitmer. It was a beautiful evening at Big Powderhorn Mountain Resort with lots of discussion about the future of the western Upper Peninsula. My musical partner, John Arida, and I performed Milton Ager’s “Happy Days Are Here Again.”

Definitely a night to remember.

Ok, world... HERE WE GO!

For the past 10 months I've been building the @emberlightfestival with a team of fiercely devoted volunteers led by the inspiring Cindy Franck. There have been all-nighters and deeply frustrating obstacles (ahem, #pandemic) but it's the morning of our first rehearsals and I finally feel ready to share this project with everyone.

Over the next three weeks in the western Upper Peninsula we will be celebrating film, music, theatre, photography, poetry, and the visual arts. Art in the Park opened on July 2 and we've had six weekends of stellar Performance Infusions (the last is this weekend) and book clubs.

Next week we open our inaugurgal festival with REAL BROADWAY STARS in "Broadway Under the Stars" (a COVID obstacle-turned-blessing is that we are literally producing under the Lake Superior stars at the bucolic Big Powderhorn Mountain Resort).

John Arida and I will give a recital (which sold out this weekend!) of Respighi, Britten, Strauss, Pizzetti, Stravinsky, and Moore.

Then we have the International Film Festival! We received 200+ short films from six continents, and narrowed it down to 34 stellar films from Finland, Italy, Pakistan, Australia, Argentina, China, Russia, Mexico, New Zealand, India, Macedonia, Guatemala, France, Spain, Iran, and the United States. (Huge thank you to Colton Pometta for dreaming up and producing the film festival!!!!)

This weekend we announce our 2021 Poet Laureate, chosen from over 30 entries from accross Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. On September 1 we are thrilled to present the WORLD PREMIERE of Dirk Wierenga's "Route 2 Elsewhere" — a documentary film about small towns along US Highway 2 from Sault St. Marie to Montana (featuring all of us in Ironwood!) And on September 3 we will award over $4,500 in prizes to our top films & Art in the Park installations during our Red Carpet Award Show.

I am deeply humbled by the generous support we've received from our amazing volunteers, donors, sponsors, artists, and community. Emberlight is my love letter to you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
